The carpet is one of the biggest areas in your home, attention is drawn to it easily and if it’s dirty, there’s just no where that you can hide it. But your carpet also comes under a large amount of wear and tear. It is walked on, rolled on, dropped on and even spilt on. It’s almost impossible to keep your carpet consistently clean and if you have children or pets… well, we won’t even go there!

You may have spent a lot of money on your carpet and/or area rugs so it’s important to look after them so that they last well, and keep looking good for as long as possible.

There is no doubt that regular vacuuming of your carpet is the first place to start with your carpet care and maintenance. With many carpets you will see that they ‘look’ clean enough, but there is more dirt lurking deeper in the pile. The dirt is traipsed into our houses by feet and objects that we bring into the house. But you also have dust and dirt flying in with the wind along with insects and other bugs. If you have pets then you already know that they bring along their own set of bugs and dirt… and smells. Many people don’t realise that contaminants can also come into their house via heating or air conditioning systems .

Regular Maintenance

So we all know that vacuuming of our carpets needs to happen on a regular basis. Not only does it pick up the big and visible bits of dirt but it also prevents a buildup of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers. But vacuuming only really gets into the top third of the carpet pile. It’s not powerful enough to suck up the dirt right down in the carpet and there are stains and dirt that need a chemical process to release them from the carpet fibers.
