Why should you clean your carpets?

Clean carpet is a major part of a clean indoor environment. The important concepts today are IEQ (indoor environment quality) and IAQ (indoor air quality). Since gravity insures most soils and pollutants find their way down to the carpet, regular carpet cleaning is important in removing them. We also clean for other reasons.

Aesthetics are important . We want to take pride in our possessions. In our homes, the carpet is the largest and most visible furnishing in a room. When a carpet is soiled or doesn’t smell fresh, it detracts from the whole room, perhaps even our whole home. Conversely, a clean fresh carpet accents our home and our other furnishings. We feel comfortable having other people come into our home.

Another reason for cleaning is to prolong carpet life. Grit and soils trapped in the fibers erode the fibers as we walk on them. Each footstep rubs sandy grit against the fibers cutting away at them. Gradually fibers are weakened and destroyed. The carpet begins to look worn and tired. When carpet wears and needs replacement prematurely, money is wasted.

Satisfaction. We get a sense of satisfaction when we live and work on clean carpet. It’s like putting on a new pair of shoes. It feels good. Every time we clean a carpet, our customer always wears a smile when we’ve finished. The carpet is clean. The carpet is healthy. The carpet looks good. It smells good. It makes us feel good.

That’s important!
