5 Benefits Of Professional Carpet Cleaning

Introduction to the Benefits of Carpet Cleaning

Carpets are still the most popular choice of flooring for homeowners in the UK.

They are stylish and soft underfoot and in a cold climate they provide warmth and comfort to a room.

But carpets also accumulate dirt, dust and allergens that get trapped in the fibres. They can also stain quite easily if you’re not careful.

Regular foot traffic, spills, and stains can take a toll on your carpets, causing them to look dull and worn out over time. However, with proper maintenance and care, carpets can last for many years, and professional carpet cleaning can play a significant role in extending their lifespan.

In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of having your carpets professionally cleaned and how it can improve the appearance and health of your home environment.

5 Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

1. It prolongs the lifespan of your carpets

Carpets tend to be subjected to quite a lot of foot traffic, spillages and activity in a typical family home.

However, with care, carpets can last for many years, and professional carpet cleaning plays a significant role in extending their lifespan and maintaining their attractive appearance.

While regular vacuuming is essential to remove loose soil particles and abrasive debris, a professional cleaning process will remove soiling and stains that are deep into the carpet fibres. It is important to remove these ingrained particles as the abrasion can cause the fibres to wear prematurely and reduce the lifespan of your carpets.

Professional cleaning can also remove any lingering odours and unsightly stains that are spoiling the appearance of your carpets.

2. It can remove dust mites and other common allergens

It may surprise you that many common allergic symptoms can be caused by allergens that are harboured by dirty carpets and furnishings.

Some of these allergens include pollen, pet dander and dust mites.

Unfortunately, vacuuming has little effect because the allergens get easily trapped in carpet fibres and so the only solution is a deep, professional clean.

Regular professional carpet cleaning will improve the air quality in your home by removing these allergens and providing significant relief to sufferers.

Dust mites in particular are microscopic and so will not be seen by the naked eye and yet are a very common cause of troublesome symptoms for many people.

Professional carpet cleaning exposes the carpet fibres to high temperatures that will kill any present dust mites.

3. It can help eliminate unpleasant household odours

Dirty carpets are a common source of unpleasant household odours.

These odours can be caused by urine, food spillages, tobacco or cooking smoke and bacteria.

Carpet cleaning, with the use of odour-neutralising cleaning solutions, can help remove these odours and keep your home smelling fresh and inviting.

Professional cleaning is designed to penetrate deep into the carpet fibres, effectively removing bacteria and particles that can cause odours.

Scheduling a regular carpet cleaning appointment will help prevent the buildup of odours and create a healthier environment for your family.

4. It is far more effective than DIY carpet cleaning

We’ve covered the pitfalls of renting a carpet cleaning machine in a previous post.

At the risk of repeating ourselves, if you hire a DIY machine, you run the risk of over-wetting and damaging your carpets without any chance of being able to match the results of a truly professional carpet cleaning service.

And you could spend a couple of days trying to achieve a satisfactory result, while a professional will achieve a superior finish in a few short hours.

Another benefit of powerful, professional carpet cleaning machines over DIY equipment is that they don’t leave behind sticky residues that can cause rapid re-soiling.

5. It removes and prevents the growth of mould

Mould can cause a range of symptoms that range from a slightly runny and blocked nose to more significant issues such as severe headaches and ongoing respiratory problems.

A professional carpet cleaning process using specialist mould treatment will remove harmful mould spores from your carpet, improving the health and safety of your home.

Ideally, you should have your carpets cleaned every few months to negate the risk of mould becoming an issue in your home, but if you already suspect the presence of mould, call a professional carpet cleaning company as soon as possible.
