While vacuuming does a good job at picking up loose dust and dirt, you need to do more in the long run.

Carpet manufacturers recommend having your carpets cleaned professionally at least every 12 to 18 months to make sure all of the allergens and other bad things are removed from the carpet fibers.

Maybe you don’t think your carpets are that dirty, but you should check out these statistics and see if it sheds some light on just how dirty your carpets can be.

  • 75% of people wear their shoes in the house and on their carpet. This tracks in dirt from the outside and grinds it into the carpets, which is the main culprit of carpet wear. It’s easy to see the effect this can have on your carpet when you look at high traffic areas around doorways and furniture.
  • Studies show that your carpet could be up to 4,000 times dirtier than your toilet seat. Bacteria can live for up to four weeks in your carpet, turning your floors into a wall to wall breeding ground.
  • Vacuum air vents that blow air while running is one of the top five dirtiest places in your home. This means vacuuming is essential, but doesn’t remove deep-down dirt and bacteria.

So what are the benefits of carpet cleaning? Keep reading to find out how important clean carpets really are.

1. That “Clean” Look

Have you ever witnessed less than clean carpets in a home or office?

You can easily tell when carpet cleaning is needed. Just like tile cleaning and maintenance, if you have a good vacuuming routine dust and debris is usually kept at bay.  However, a regular deep steam clean is the only cleaning method that successfully removes some of the tougher substances that build up in the fibers over time.

High traffic areas also take a beating from the wear and tear of constant compression due to foot traffic. If you clean these areas when they just begin to look soiled you can stop the dirt from spreading to the rest of the house. With clean, fresh carpets you will appreciate your clean home far more and be proud to show it off to your guests and visitors.

2. Carpet Cleaning Saves You Money

Noses are sensitive, except when you’ve gone nose blind to the smells in your home or office. The problem is other people can still smell the dirty carpet. This is especially true for homes with pets or children who may contribute to unfortunate smells that cling to your carpet.

Steam cleaning is a great option if you want fresh smelling carpet. Research indicates hot water extraction cleaning is best for all types of carpets. It leaves the least amount of residue and therefore will provide the lowest amount of re-soiling.
