5 Top Reasons to Deep Clean Your Carpet

Vacuuming and spot cleaning your carpet does what we call “surface clean.” When you walk into the room, your first impression is that it [[LOOKS]] nice and clean! And perhaps it is… for a little while. Here are the top 5 reasons we believe that you should deep clean your carpets EVERY 12-18 months.

• When carpets are properly cleaned and maintained, it improves air quality. Carpets trap dust and allergens every single day. If you are allergy-prone it may be because the carpeting in your home needs professionally cleaned.

• New carpet can contain chemicals that can be emitted into the air. When you purchase carpet, just because it “smells” new, doesn’t mean that it is free of chemicals that can make you sick.

• Toxic substances can embed themselves in carpet, such as cigarette smoke. Just because you don’t “smell it” or you’re not inhaling it, doesn’t mean that it cannot harm you. Cigarette smoke produces toxins even after the smell is gone.

• Did you know that people will shed millions of “skin” flakes every hour? Think about that the next time you play in the floor with your kids.

• Viruses and bacteria can live in/on carpets for up to FOUR months.
