These days we are so busy with work, kids, pets and our day to day lives, we forget to maintain items within our home.
Having a proactive maintenance schedule for the home is a way to help prolong the life of your carpet, upholstery and rugs and make it a more safe and healthy environment. Most times we won’t call to get our carpets done until they start to look dirty and there are traffic marks in the carpet. Or unless something is spilled on the upholstery or there is change in colour to the leather, is when we call in the professionals.
It is recommended to clean your carpets and upholstery every 12-18 months. By vacuuming regularly (at least once per week) this will remove any loose soiling or dust within the carpet fibres. By not doing this, the soil alone in the carpet will cause damage and abrasion to the fibre and wear it down very quickly, making your carpets look worn and tired. Maintaining your carpets and upholstery is very similar to maintaining your teeth. Regular check-ups at the dentist with regular cleaning will incur small interval costs as opposed to a large cost for a root canal after 5 years of not maintaining your teeth. By maintaining your carpet and upholstery with interval cleaning throughout the year will prolong the life of the fibre, which will save you money in the end.
Some of our clients book to have their carpets, leather or fabric upholstery cleaned every 6 months. Some of these items are 8-10 years of age but look brand new! So there is certainly some benefit to maintaining these items regularly.
Besides the asthetic or monetery benefits, there is also the health benefits. Our trained technicians can also offer information as to further treatments that are available, such as antimicrobial treatments. This treatment is effective for bacteria caused from dirt buildup, pets, sweat or vomit.
