Protecting Your Investment

Carpet is the foundation of your home and plays a very important role in enhancing the overall appearance of the interior. Each step you take on your carpet causes dirt to be ground deeper into the carpet fibers. A soiled carpet will not last as long as one that is regularly cleaned.The longer you wait to have your carpet cleaned, the more damage you do to your carpet and the faster it will wear out. Carpet is expensive so you are protecting your investment and prolonging the life of your carpet by having it cleaned regularly. Carpet cleaning is not just about removing contaminants and improving the appearance of your home though. It comes down to protecting your family and safeguarding their health. Most people would not associate carpet with improved indoor air quality, but it does have a positive effect by reducing allergens like dust, dust mites, pollen, bacteria, and pet dander from circulating in the air. In some instances, indoor air quality can be polluted by 70% or more than the air outside. In order to make sure your carpets are not causing more indoor air pollution from allergens you need to clean them thoroughly and regularly. Removing these pollutants and contaminants from your carpets helps to improve the indoor air quality that affects your quality of life.
Another factor to consider is that modern carpets are designed to hide soil contamination. The recommended time to have your carpets cleaned is twice a year, but the average homeowner only has their carpets cleaned once every 7 years. So, your carpets are already way overdue for a cleaning by the time you can see the evidence of soiling.The main reasons for this discrepancy between the recommended times and the actual cleaning is due to customers not knowing how often they should have their carpets cleaned.

A quality vacuum cleaner is vital to prolonging the beauty and life of your carpet. Daily vacuuming with an inexpensive machine can remove surface dirt but will not effectively remove particles embedded in the carpet fibers. A vacuum cleaner that has good suction and a rotating beater/brush that agitates the carpet fibers will help prevent soil buildup. We recommend the use of these machines that will mechanically loosen embedded soil for removal by the vacuum. Micro filtration vacuum bags trap microscopic particles, such as mold spores and dust mites, often found to be a source of allergies. Newer vacuum cleaners that trap these microscopic particles with replaceable HEPA filters have been shown to significantly reduce allergens in your environment. To service these machines you empty a container after their use.

It is always an option to clean your own carpet using rented equipment that will rarely give you the same effect as letting a professional do it. Professional carpet cleaning companies restore the beauty of carpets as well as help keep your environment clean. Professional carpet cleaning companies put their employees through training, so when you have a big carpet cleaning job an experienced carpet cleaner will know how to clean your carpets efficiently. Depending on your requirements and budget, professional carpet cleaners will clean your carpets for a reasonable fee and give you a guarantee on their work. Most carpet manufacturers recommend steam cleaning, also referred to as Hot Water Extraction, for modern carpets. Steam cleaning your carpet is very effective at deep cleaning; it not only cleans the surface of the carpet, but also cleans the fibers and the carpet at its base. Steam cleaning utilizes a simple method to clean your carpets. The extractor injects a hot cleaning solution into the carpet at a very high pressure then it draws the dirt from deep in the carpet to the surface and removes the cleaning solution and the dirt before it has a chance to stain.

If you want people to think you just got new carpet even if you have had it for a few years you should know that routine maintenance is always better than having to replace your carpets. Keeping your carpets looking attractive and clean enhances the overall appeal of your home. To ensure their longevity it's essential to take proper care of them. Your carpet represents a significant investment and regular cleaning will help you keep your carpets looking beautiful for many years.

Vacuuming Your Carpets Is Important

Why is vacuuming important and what type of vacuum should I use?

Frequent vacuuming, especially in high-traffic areas, helps to remove soil particles which damage the carpet fibers and dull your carpets appearance. This is the most important thing you can do to prolong the life of your carpet. Additionally the use of area rugs and floor mats in high traffic areas will also help prolong the life of your more expensive wall to wall carpeting and reduce soil build up. It is important that you use a good quality vacuum cleaner, one that agitates the carpet pile and loosens imbedded soil.

Choose Good Quality Vacuums

Newer vacuum cleaners that trap these microscopic particles with replaceable HEPA filters have been shown to significantly reduce allergens in your environment. To service these machines you empty a container after their use.

Cleaning Your Carpets Regularly and Frequently by Vacuuming
It's best to take a few minutes to vacuum your carpets every few days, that way dirt does not have time to get ground deeper into the carpet fibers.Dirt and oily residue on your carpet will attract more dirt. By vacuuming frequently to remove as much loose dirt as possible and removing spots as soon as you notice them can help you avoid using strong chemical products later to get the ground in dirt and oils out. Bear in mind that walking on soiled carpet permits the particles to work their way below the surface where they are far more difficult to remove and can damage the fibers. Walking on the soiled areas will wear down the carpet fibers and carpet base which results in matting. Cleaning your carpets regularly is better for your families' health and it extends the life of your carpet.
This is not hard to achieve, all that required is vacuuming your carpet thoroughly and frequently. This is one of the most important things you can do to keep your carpets clean. For rooms with light traffic, use a vacuum cleaner on the traffic areas twice weekly and the entire area once a week. For areas with heavier traffic they need to have traffic lanes vacuumed daily and the entire area twice a week. Going one pass over an area is never enough so make sure that you sweep the vacuum cleaner across the area several times and in a crisscross pattern. Several passes of the vacuum cleaner will suffice for light soiling, but it may take vacuuming over heavily soiled areas five or more times to get the dirt out. Be sure to change the vacuuming direction occasionally to help stand the pile upright and reduce matting.

Indoor Air Quality and your Carpets

Preventative Measures Will Help Control Allergens
Some people with asthma and allergies have the misperception that they should avoid carpet in their homes. Carpet is made from the same materials, such as polyester, olefin and nylon fibers, found in other fabrics and clothing. Most people would not associate carpet with improved indoor air quality, but it does have a positive effect by reducing allergens like dust, dirt, pollen, dust mites, and pet dander from circulating in the air. Gravity causes allergens to fall to the floor where these contaminants become embedded into the carpet fibers.David Beal and Subrato Chandra of the Florida Solar Energy Center conducted a study on homes across the U.S., what they found was that preventive measures and good cleaning habits are vital to controlling allergens. Reducing the amounts of dirt, dust and allergens that build up in carpets is the first preventative measure that people with asthma and allergies should take. The use of floor mats, area rugs and runners in high traffic areas and at each doorway helps capture contaminants before it is embedded into the carpet fibers. It takes a significant amount of vacuum power to remove particles trapped in the carpet fibers. Experimenting with different sizes and textures of floor mats and area rugs will help determine what works best in each environment. Rugs should be large enough that an adult can take several footsteps to ensure that the particulate matter is captured as it is knocked loose from their shoes. The study also found that homes that had twice a week vacuuming schedules with a good quality vacuum, equipped with HEPA filters rather than bag filtration, had lower levels of contaminants and allergens. It is important to vacuum area rugs every few days because they will collect a significant amount of soil. Having your carpets cleaned professionally twice a year further reduces those microscopic contaminants and allergens that wreak havoc on your health and your home.
