Keeping the house spotless


About Me

Keeping the house spotless

I just can't relax unless the house is clean. I recently broke my ankle and have been laid up while my family keeps making a mess all around me. It was driving me mad so I have been getting in a cleaning service 3 times a week just to make sure that the house isn't destroyed by the time I can move again. I am starting this blog to keep me occupied and to help out the rest of the mums out there that have had similar accidents and need to keep sane while their house is turning messy around them!

3 Ways Professional Cleaning Services Extend a Carpet's Life

Carpet cleaning is a simple, straightforward chore, which you can do as long as you have the right equipment. It is especially the case these days since you can get all the information you need about carpet cleaning on the internet. However, some people do not realise that there is more to carpet cleaning than getting a sparkling and spotless rug. One of the primary reasons for cleaning a carpet is to protect it from faster wear, which is where professional services come in since they know exactly what to do to prolong its service life. Here are different ways regular carpet cleaning enhances durability.

Eliminates Carpet Divots 

Carpet dents are common, but you only get to see them when you move your furniture around. If you maintain and follow a strict household and carpet cleaning schedule, there is very little need to move furniture. Unfortunately, divots caused by furniture only shorten a carpet's life because the sustained pressure distorts and destroys the fibres' shape. Therefore, even if you vacuum your carpet every other day, you still need professional cleaning services to eliminate the imprints. They do it using different techniques, such as passing cold water over the distortions to restore carpet fibres' volume and body.

Eliminates Embedded Dirt 

It is easy to get rid of loose dirt on a carpet if you use a vacuum cleaner. However, you should worry more about dirt embedded deep in a carpet than the grime on the surface. You cannot remove embedded dirt by simply vacuuming a rug every day, especially if you have a thick rug. The longer the embedded dirt stays in a carpet, the faster the fibres deteriorate. Soon, you will see carpet fibres splitting and becoming loose from the base. Professional cleaning services use special cleaning agents to loosen deeply embedded dirt and prevent premature splitting of carpet fibres.

Stain Resistance Treatment 

Stains are an eyesore on brightly coloured carpets and must be removed immediately. However, if you have kids and pets at home, it is advisable to hire professional carpet cleaners. It can be costly, but it is the only option if you want your carpet to last. Professional carpet cleaners can save you the trouble by giving your carpet a stain resistance treatment. Most service providers make stain resistance treatment the last step of the carpet cleaning process. The cleaning agents coat individual carpet fibres with a protective layer, which prevents the absorption of liquids, ensuring that your carpet remains in good condition for a long time.
