You vacuum once a week. Whether you have wall-to-wall carpeting in just about every room in your house, a couple of area rugs, or just one or two rooms that have some type of carpeting or rugs in them, vacuuming is an important way to keep them clean and looking great.
It’s also important to help reduce the amount of dust and allergens that float around in the air. Many people incorrectly assume that vacuuming once a week is enough to maintain the condition of their carpets.
It’s not.
In fact, even for individuals who live alone, don’t go outside very often, and don’t experience a number of kids running around tracking dirt and other foreign contaminants through every room in the house, vacuuming once a week is not enough to keep up with the natural process of life.
What does this mean? Basically, the body sheds its skin cells every seven days. The vast majority of dust found in any home or business is the product of dead skin cells. So while there is at least one person living in the house, there is always going to be dust. That dust settles into the carpeting and clings to the carpet fibers, making it difficult for a vacuum cleaner to get it all up.
Over time, that dust is going to build up and begin to discolor the carpeting and even change the feel and texture of it. That’s why it’s essential to rely on a professional carpet cleaning service at least once a year.
Ideally, every homeowner throughout Toronto and the rest of Canada should hire a carpet cleaning service every six months, once just after winter is over and once before the beginning of autumn.
Keep up with the vacuuming and do it more frequently in areas that see a lot of foot traffic and use. When you rely on a professional carpet cleaning service, you’ll notice your carpets feeling much more comfortable, looking great, and lasting a lot longer.
