Professional carpet cleaning services are used by homeowners, tenants and businesses across Ireland. But there are still so many people who stick to DIY carpet cleaning – or no cleaning at all!
If you’re not convinced about the merits of carpet cleaning services, read on! This post explores six key reasons why you should opt for professional carpet cleaning ahead of the alternatives.
1. Hygiene
With around 200,000 bacteria per square inch, carpets are typically 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. With that in mind, do you really want to let kids play on your carpet, or sit on it, or even touch something with so many germs?
Professional carpet cleaning eliminates the vast majority of these germs that vacuuming simply doesn’t reach, so you can maintain a hygienic surface in any room.
2. Allergens
As well as harbouring germs, carpets can hold onto allergens like pollen, pet dander and dust. Those allergens get dispersed into the air whenever someone walks on the carpet, which can be massively irritating to anyone with allergies.
Carpet cleaning services will make sure these allergens are kept to a minimum, by getting deep into the carpet’s pile rather than simply cleaning the surface. At The Carpet Cleaning Company, we also apply an anti-allergen pre-spray that helps remove dust allergens while we clean.
3. Longevity
The lifespan of your carpet can be anywhere from 3 years to over a decade depending on a range of factors such as quality, thickness, colour, usage and footfall. But one of the most important factors when it comes to longevity is maintenance.
Without professional cleaning, carpets will come to the end of their lifespan within a few years. Carpet cleaning services offer a way to revitalise carpets or simply stop them ageing altogether, to keep them looking at their best for longer.
4. Appearance
Whether it’s guests in your home or clients in your office, your carpets will always contribute to someone’s impression of your home or business. Professional carpet cleaning services will make sure that it’s a good impression by making your carpets look as good as new.
The same goes for the smell. While you may not notice it when you’re in your home or office day in, day out, the smell of an uncleaned carpet can slowly take over a room. That will be completely eliminated, so there’s no chance of any bad impressions for your visitors.
5. Better than DIY
Any kind of DIY carpet cleaning will provide some sort of benefit with the four points above – unless you make an error, such as using chemicals incorrectly, and permanently damage your carpet.
However, there’s a big difference between professional carpet cleaning and the DIY options. Your carpets will be far cleaner, smell fresher and be visibly superior than if you go it alone. On top of that, you’ll find the effects of the cleaning last much longer – as will your carpets in the long run.
6. And faster
One of the big hassles with DIY carpet cleaning is just how long it takes. Not only getting the cleaning done, but waiting for your carpets to fully dry afterwards.
With years of experience and more hands on deck, professional carpet cleaners can finish one room or your whole property in no time at all. By using the latest equipment, your carpets will be dry much quicker, so you can get back to using your home or office.
