Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Advice & Tips

6 Reasons to Invest in Regular Carpet Cleaning

For some, professional carpet cleaning is a rare experience saved for special occasions like moving day or post-party cleanup. But for others - especially those with kids or pets, carpet cleaning is a necessary routine, welcomed with great regularity. And for good reason. Your carpets collect everything from dirt to pet hair to dust along with an array of other allergens and airborne bacteria. Just think, all of the places your shoes take you, and coming home and walking those shoes through your carpet each day. If you were to put your used shoes on your kitchen bench, you would no doubt wipe it clean straight away. Think about regular carpet cleaning as doing the same for your floors. In this article, we’re going to highlight six big reasons to consider regular carpet cleaning for your home:

You live with a pet

Your beloved furry friends spend a lot of time on your comfortable carpets and furniture, especially so after a busy day running around outside in the garden. Not only that, but they’ve also got a lot of hair which isn’t all able to be collected by vacuuming. They may even have the occasional accident on your carpet, leaving an extremely undesirable odour and stain behind. We love having our pets live with us however we needed to come up with a practical solution to the mess that they sometimes create. Pet Urine Removal Treatment (PURT) is our carpet cleaning technicians favourite tool to combat pet and people accidents. Technicians are trained to detect current and past problem areas, examine the damage, and rid your home of unpleasant odors. Other products may mask the smell, but Chem-Dry’s PURT treatment eliminates - which actually discourage pets from re-offending. Plus, it’s 100% Pet safe! An absolute essential for our furry friends.

Air quality improvement

Getting your carpets cleaned professionally on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to improve the indoor air quality in your home. That’s because your carpets are filled with dust, bacteria, dander and can hold onto odour. Not only do they collect falling debris, the carpets in your home act as giant air filters, which protect the air quality on one hand, but can degrade it over time if they aren’t cleaned. Chem-Dry’s cleaning process can improve your air indoor air quality dramatically. Our special carbonation carpet cleaning method is designed to give carpets a deeper, longer-lasting, healthier clean without the use of harsh chemicals or detergents, which means fast drying times and no leftover dirt-attracting residue.

Someone has allergies

Living with allergies can be exhausting. For many, despite being in their own home, it’s difficult to escape the dust, dirt and pollen that trigger allergy symptoms. As the country blooms with new floral life every season, along with plenty of fresh rainfall, allergy symptoms return with a vengeance. But regardless of the seasons, the airborne toxins that are eventually soaked up by your carpets can cause problems any time of year. One of the best strategies for relieving allergy symptoms in your home is regular carpet cleaning. By employing the natural cleaning properties of carbonation, Chem-Dry can extract the dirt, hair and other allergens from deep in your carpets, giving them a healthier, longer lasting clean.

Extend the life of your carpets

Our sixth and final reason to consider professional carpet cleaning on a regular basis is to prolong the life of your carpets. Even if there is no visible buildup or stains, your carpets are sure to be filled with all sorts of debris and allergens. And without proper cleaning, your carpets can begin to show wear and tear and become damaged over time.
