Allergen Accumulation: Carpets can trap allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen over time. Without regular cleaning, these allergens can become deeply embedded in the carpet fibers, contributing to poor indoor air quality and triggering allergies and respiratory issues in occupants.
Mold Growth: Moisture and spills can lead to mold and mildew growth in carpets, especially in humid environments. Neglecting to clean and dry the carpets properly can result in the development of mold, which poses health risks and creates an unpleasant and musty odor in the home.
Bacterial Contamination: Carpets can harbor bacteria and germs, especially in high-traffic areas. Without routine cleaning, these contaminants can multiply, leading to the risk of infections and illnesses for individuals who come into contact with the carpet.
Stains and Discoloration: Spills and stains that are not promptly and properly cleaned can become permanent, causing unsightly discoloration on the carpet. Neglected stains not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of the space but may also necessitate costly carpet replacement.
Dust and Dirt Buildup: Regular foot traffic can bring in dirt, dust, and debris, which can accumulate deep within the carpet fibers. Over time, this buildup can cause premature wear and tear on the carpet, leading to a worn appearance and reducing its lifespan.
Unpleasant Odors: Odors from spills, pet accidents, or general use can become trapped in the carpet fibers. Without proper cleaning, these odors can persist and create an unpleasant living environment.
Pest Infestations: Carpets that are not regularly cleaned may attract pests such as fleas or carpet beetles. These pests can cause damage to the carpet and become a nuisance in the home.
To address these potential issues, homeowners should schedule regular professional carpet cleanings. Professional cleaners can effectively remove embedded dirt, allergens, and stains, improving the appearance of the carpet and promoting a healthier living environment.
Additionally, prompt spot cleaning of spills and accidents and the use of doormats to reduce dirt entry can help maintain the cleanliness and longevity of the carpet.
First, we assess the fiber type for appropriate cleaning agents, and identify stains and spots
All carpet is pre-vacuumed to remove hair and loose soils. We then pre-condition all carpet with a spray emulsifier to loosen soil before cleaning.
Water is heated to 230 degrees Fahrenheit via our van-mounted steam cleaning machine in your driveway.
Hoses are connected to the van and brought inside. Starting at the furthest part of the house, we will clean all exposed carpet, working our way out backwards so we do not have to walk on the wet carpet.
Furniture moving is available, if arranged in advance.
Dry times range from 2-6 hours, depending on fiber type and length. Speed drying is available with optional fans we can leave behind.
