Carpet is an integral component of most people’s homes. Carpet increases the value and beauty of a home. It provides a cushioned walking and play surface, reduces noise and dust, and softens falls. However, like everything else, carpet must be properly maintained. Regular vacuuming and deep cleaning will protect your investment by prolonging your carpet’s life. Most professionals recommend professional carpet cleaning Virginia Beach VA every 12-18 months, and more frequently if you have many children and/or pets, or other circumstances that cause greater than average soiling.
While everyone likes for their carpets to look clean and attractive, there is an even better reason to have them deep cleaned on a regular basis. Dirty carpets are bad for your health! Dirty carpet is an immense trap for dirt, dust, mites, odors, germs and bacteria and is especially unhealthy for people who suffer from allergies and/or breathing difficulties. Even carpet that appears to be clean is likely to be dirtier than you might think, and benefits from regular cleaning.
The carpet industry overwhelmingly agrees upon hot water extraction (also known as steam cleaning) as the premier method for carpet cleaning. This method provides a deep and thorough cleaning, with and without additional cleaning agents and chemicals. Hot water extraction cleaning helps maintain not just the appearance of your carpet, but also the quality of the very air you breathe.
Some signs that it might be time for you to call professional carpet cleaning Virginia Beach VA are carpet that feels sticky or matted to the touch, carpet that is no longer the color it was when it was installed, carpet that dirties a pair of white socks when you walk upon it or carpet that has visible stains.
A professional carpet cleaner can do a significantly better job of cleaning your carpet than you can with a home or rented machine. Most professionals have a truck mounted extraction system that is extremely powerful. This professional system only brings the hose and cleaning wand into your home and exhausts both air and soiled water to the outside, not in your home. The high powered vacuum recovers almost all of the water from your carpet and the drying time is minimal. A professional carpet care company will leave your carpets sanitized, deodorized, and if desired, can finish the job with an application of carpet protector that will help keep your carpet looking fresh, longer.
