Why Should You Clean Your Carpets?
There are many, many reasons to clean your carpet. Not just appearance but wear and health related reasons, as well. Did you know that Shaw Industries, the world's largest manufacturer of carpets, will not even honor their wear warranties unles you can prove that you have had your carpets cleaned with hot water extraction (steam cleaning) at least once a year?!!! Pretty strong edorsement from a carpet manufactuter, huh?
Dirt is an abrasive - like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers. This cuts your carpet, just as if you had used a knife, causing it to wear out faster. A dirty carpet will not last nearly as long as a clean carpet. And while vacuuming helps - by itself, it's simply not enough. The the longer you wait to have your carpet cleaned, the more damage you do to your carpet and the faster it wears out.
As you probably know, outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust - and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and you family members come into your home, you carry those pollens, bacteria and chemicals in your hair and on your skin, clothing and shoes. Not surprisingly, all those chemicals, pollens, and bacteria wind up - you guessed it - in your carpet.
If you have allergies, asthma, emphysema, or other breathing problems - one major source of your problem could be the pollens, fungus, and chemicals in your carpet.
In addition, as you may know, tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 different chemical compounds, 43 of which cause cancer. And even if you don't smoke, those chemicals get on your shoes, you track them into your home, and you leave them in your carpet. If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you will find that you'll breath easier after we get those harmful chemicals out of your carpet.
So, in addition, to getting rid of visible dirt - and perhaps the most important reason to clean your carpet - is to get rid of pollens, fungus, bacteria, chemicals and the tars and residue from tobacco smoke.
Oh yeah - your carpet will look great too!
