Carpet by its design hides dirt. By the time soil becomes apparent, it is no longer a light duty-cleaning chore. It has become a heavy-duty restoration and needs a professional carpet cleaning company. The ability of the cleaning process to achieve a desirable appearance is affected by the amount of soil and the length of time it has been in the carpet. Without a quality maintenance plan, the carpet is eventually replaced, not because it has “worn out,” but because cleaning no longer improves the appearance. If properly maintained, the overall annual cost of owning a carpet can be reduced significantly. You could effectively extend your carpets life by 3 to 5 years.
If you are wondering whether or not your carpet could use some cleaning, here are some obvious signs that indicate whether or not you need your carpet professionally cleaned.
Stubborn Stains
These are obviously the most visible signs your carpet needs some cleaning. People spill drinks, food and products on the floor regularly. The most stubborn stains you will need help to clean are everyday items like coffee, tea, red wine, chewing gum, grease, oil, fruit juice, ink, blood, perspiration, ketchup, and chocolate. Sound familiar?
These are the stains that are difficult to clean and a vacuum cleaner will not be able to remove easily. If they are not removed as soon as possible, these stains will leave permanent marks and may even cause discolor the carpet.
Unpleasant Odor
A noticeable unpleasant smell is another sure sign that your carpet needs professional cleaning. You’ll want to address the bad odor immediately, as it could turn into mold, mildew, and other extreme issues. These odors usually come from spilled drinks and food. Dirty footwear can also be a culprit.
Allergies and Reactions
Dirty carpets can contain insects, mites, fleas, and other types of allergens.
If they continue to thrive in your carpet, they will easily cause allergies and nasty reactions. If you notice a “mini” outbreak of allergies in your family or office, then the carpet could be responsible.
You don’t wait until your carpet looks dirty
Most people call a professional when they notice that the carpets look dirty, or maybe when they start to smell something. It is really important not to wait until the carpets look dirty to have them cleaned. The longer you wait, it can shorten the life of your carpets and make it more difficult to remove stains. A professional company can help you determine how often your carpets should be cleaned based on traffic and use, and they can recommend a regular cleaning schedule to keep your carpets clean and long-lasting.
These are just a few of the signs that your carpet needs immediate attention. Contact a carpet specialist to discuss your options.
