Why You Need Your Carpets Cleaned

More people are spending more time at home this summer due to the coronavirus pandemic and recent Illinois “safer at home” orders.  With more time being spent at home, you likely have an increased awareness of some home improvement projects that need to be completed.  Since you have the extra time, now could be the perfect opportunity to tackle some of those projects you’ve been putting off.

One of those projects may be getting your carpets professionally cleaned. Clean carpets are not only more comfortable but carpet cleanliness can also affect the health of you and your family. The experts at Wolf Brothers Carpet Cleaning have compiled a list of why you need your carpets professionally cleaned twice per year.

Carpet Longevity

Dust, dirt, allergens, bacteria, and other debris can accumulate and become embedded in the carpet fibers, causing them to split and deteriorate. Using a hot water extraction cleaning method, a professional carpet cleaning removes debris deep within the fibers, leaving the carpet sanitized. This extends the life of your carpet as debris is less likely to stick to a clean carpet than a dirty one. To further improve the longevity of your carpets, vacuum at least once per week to help decrease debris build-up.

Healthier environment

According to the American Lung Association, carpet fibers can trap pollutants including dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, dirt, and other allergens. These allergens can become airborne through vacuuming or simply walking on the carpet, affecting the air quality in your home. Poor air quality can aggravate asthma and other respiratory issues, trigger allergies, and reveal other health issues.  A professional cleaning can improve the air quality in your home as the hot water and safe, quality cleaning products kill off most pollutants, leaving the carpet sanitized and dramatically decreasing any health threats. If you have pets or a family member suffers from allergies or respiratory issues, a twice-yearly cleaning can make a huge difference.

Enhance Overall Appearance

The carpeting is not only the largest furnishing in a room (and your home), but it’s also the one that gets the most usage. When you think about how much dirt and other debris are tracked in on a daily basis, it makes sense. Over time, all this tracked in debris can deteriorate the condition of your carpet, making the room appear dirty and outdated. This is especially true in high traffic areas, such as hallways and the living room, where the carpet appears darker in color and is likely more deteriorated. A professional cleaning will keep your carpet looking new while improving the aesthetics of the room.

Cleaner Carpeting

A sanitized and completely clean carpet is not only a sound investment in your home but also your and your family’s health. Professional cleanings can remove hard-to-reach debris and pollutants and provide a deep clean above and beyond vacuuming regularly.  If you have pets or children playing on your carpets, you have peace of mind that they are living in a clean, virtually pollutant-free environment.
