It’s certainly easier to keep people off your brand new carpeting and you might feel like this is the way to protect it well into the future, but in reality that’s not going to do much the long term.
There are plenty of reasons why your carpeting is going to get dirty, regardless of how many people walk on it or don’t. You could have people put on brand new socks before they even step foot on that nice, new, shiny white carpeting and in time you will begin to notice the change in its appearance, feel, and cleanliness.
One of the most significant reasons why carpeting will not last forever, regardless of whether people actually use it or not has to do with the nature of dust and dirt. 80 percent of the dust you will find in your Toronto area house is not being tracked in from outside. It is the product of dead skin cells.
The human body sheds dead skin cells every seven days, on average. As a result, those dead skin cells begin to collect on various surfaces. That’s why you constantly have to dust, regardless of whether you use a particular room, piece of furniture, or something else for quite some time. You can even close off the room throughout the day and only open those doors when you have to get something and minuscule particles will continue to collect.
Yes, your carpeting is going to last a lot longer if you keep people off it, but you still need to clean it on a regular basis.
Vacuuming just isn’t enough because many of those dust particles get caught in the carpet fiber and ultimately pushed down deeper into the carpet pile when you vacuum. The only way to truly protect your carpet and help that it last as long as possible is to rely on a professional carpet cleaning service every six months.
