You had the carpeting in your Toronto area home for more than 10 years. You purchased your home 10 years ago and for all you knew the carpeting at that point could have been several years old, if not older than that.
At some point in time you realized it was necessary to replace all the carpeting. You began shopping around and realized this was a significant investment. You spent many thousands of dollars on the best carpeting you could afford for the entire house. You scheduled the installation date and waited almost impatiently for that day to arrive. You couldn’t wait to have this new carpeting installed and to enjoy it finally.
You were home when the installer showed up and they begin working in each room pulling up the old carpeting. You couldn’t believe how much dirt, dust, and other debris was sitting underneath all of that carpeting. They needed to bring in shop vacs to clear everything out. You noticed old stains, gum wrappers, and other items that you would never have imagined could get in underneath the carpet itself.
Now, with all of that dust and dirt you saw piled up underneath the carpeting, just imagine every time you step on it without carpeting on top, what would happen? It would kick up into the air. The same was happening every time you walked on that old carpeting.
Of course, some of that dust and debris was the product of the foam under padding breaking down, but the majority of it was actually dirt that worked its way down deeper into the carpet pile. Just vacuuming wasn’t enough to reach deep into the carpet and get all of that dirt up. However, if you had a professional carpet cleaning service come to your home and clean those carpets before you had them pulled up, you would’ve seen a much different situation. You would’ve seen a lot less dirt and debris underneath.
That’s why it’s important with this new carpeting to maintain it properly, including regular professional carpet cleaning services every six months.
