Keeping your home clean and tidy can almost be a full time job. There are always things to be done such as vacuuming and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms. Then there is the lawn to cut, flower beds to tend and weed. Windows need cleaning; Roof and gutters need maintaining. The list is almost endless. And then there is the carpet....With all of these things to do, it pays to get things done properly. There are a whole range of professional services that can make your life easier, and maintain your home properly, including professional carpet cleaning services.

Its interesting and somewhat telling that the national average of homeowners who clean their carpet, EVER, is a whopping 30%. That means that 70% of home owners NEVER get their carpet cleaned. This is astounding. As a professional carpet cleaner, this is both shocking and a challenge to help people understand the importance of keeping carpets cleaned on a regular basis.

Here are 3 reasons why it is important to have your carpet professionally deep cleaned:

1. Preserve Your Investment. Believe it or not, your carpet can be the second most costly thing a homeowner will buy, right after your car. People know the importance of maintaining their car, but obviously haven't got the message about the importance of keeping carpets clean. Simply put, a clean carpet lasts longer, because the soil that gets trapped in the carpet fibers abrades them causing them to appear grey or worn. This damage is not correctable and only proper care, including regular vacuuming and professional carpet cleaning.
2. Keep Your Carpet Cleaner, Longer. Contrary to that old wives' tale, cleaning your carpet regularly, or often, does not mean that you will have to keep cleaning it or it will get dirty faster. Professional cleaning actually has the opposite effect and keep your carpet looking better for longer periods. Poor cleaning, done by a cheap or quick service, or cleaning them yourself with a home unit, is the probably the next worst thing you could do. This is because a poor cleaning job is likely to leave residues that can attract damaging soils a lot faster than is normal.
3. Protect the health of your family. Indoor air quality is negatively affected by soiled carpet that acts as a sink for all the dust and allergens that get trapped. Particles then get kicked back into the breathing areas, that, over the long term, can have health consequences. But, most people are also shocked to hear that hard floors are even worse. Carpet at least traps most of the airborne pollutants.

Consider a professional carpet cleaning service on a regular basis and your carpets will last and look their best for years to come.
