Carpet is a staple in households all over the USA and Lititz, PA is no exception. Though the shags of yesteryear have long since disappeared, reasonable, medium length carpets are great for helping to cultivate a welcoming and cozy atmosphere in your home. However, like all things, carpets do have an expiration date. Though how soon that expiration date arrives is up to you and the carpet cleaning professionals here with ServiceMaster Fire and Water Clean Up.
One easily forgotten carpet care tip in the average household is that regular vacuuming is a great and simple way to help keep your carpet in good condition. Rather than vacuuming after a major incident or spill, or only vacuuming when company is coming, introducing regular vacuuming into your standard cleaning routine can significantly improve the overall condition of your carpet. Not only does it keep your carpet fresher, but it also prevents grit and oils from building up near the carpet fibers. If you forgo carpet cleaning for too long, that grit and oil can be ground deeper and deeper, slowly adding to the erosion of the carpet’s integrity.
If you already include regular vacuuming in your carpet care regimen then you’re already doing your carpets a great service. Your next step is to learn how to deal with major carpet messes when they occur. For instance, in the event of stains, train yourself to clean smart not hard. Too much water, too much cleanser, over-powered cleansers, and tough scrubbing can all do more harm than good when it comes to effective carpet care. Too much of any of the above can lead to mold, product build up, discoloration, and fiber break down.
If you’ve noticed that your carpet cleaning techniques aren’t working, or you’ve encountered a mess that you just don’t know how to tackle, consider turning to carpet cleaning professionals instead of crossing your fingers in the home cleaning section at your local store. Having your carpets cleaned professionally on a regular basis will not only ensure that the right tools are being used to get the job done, but it can also extend the life of your carpets by preventing dinginess, dustiness, and mustiness from settling in for the long haul.
