What’s lurking in your carpets right now? You may look down and see a nice, soft Berber carpeting that looks pretty clean. Sure, there might be a stray leaf from a plant you have in the windowsill sitting there, but that’s easy enough to pick up. Maybe you have deep pile carpet. Right along the surface, just after you vacuumed it, it looks perfectly clean.
Maybe you had a spill a few months ago that you cleaned up. You used a carpet cleaning solution, a sponge, some paper towels, and elbow grease, and once it dried, it seemed as though you got everything up.
The truth is much different.
That stain is most likely still there. Whether it’s pet urine, sauce, grape juice, or anything else, and even though you may have Scotchgard or some other protective surface on your carpet, some of that liquid will have worked down deeper into the carpet pile.
Even a tightly wound Berber carpet can trap a lot of dust, allergens, bacteria, germs, and much more. That means your carpet is not nearly as clean as you probably thought.
Just because you vacuum, that doesn’t get everything up. In fact, even the most powerful residential carpet cleaning machine or vacuum still leaves behind more than half of all the germs, allergens, and other pollutants that hide in your carpet fibers.
That’s why a professional carpet cleaning service is so important.
It’s not just about protecting carpets, but protecting your family as well. When you can improve the indoor air quality while also extending the life of your wall-to-wall or area rugs by years, it makes a great investment.
Most people are quite surprised at how affordable a professional carpet cleaning service can be with an experienced company with the right equipment.
