Carpets add style to your home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Over time, though, even the most well-maintained carpets can start to look dingy and hold odors. Professional carpet cleaning is important to keep the fibers fresh. There are some clear signs it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning. 

When to Schedule a Professional Cleaning

1. Carpet Looks Dingy & Old

Over time, regular wear and tear can start to show on your carpet. Foot traffic, dust, spills, and everyday activities can leave your carpet looking old and worn. Professional carpet cleaning gets deep into the fibers and refreshes them, giving you a “new carpet” look. 

2. Pet Dander Accumulation

When you vacuum your carpets, you probably lift up a great deal of pet hair. Sadly, even the most powerful vacuum can leave pet hair behind—along with dander, dirt, mites, and other allergens.

There’s always the chance that your pet has an accident or two on the carpet, as well. This can cause odors, stains, and health concerns for your family, and it can also make the carpet look dirty and worn. 

3. Allergies Increase

Pets aren’t the only potential cause of allergens in your carpets. Dust, pollen, smoke, and other airborne allergens can collect in your carpet, exacerbating respiratory ailments. Professional carpet cleaning provides a deeper clean that vacuuming or spot treating doesn’t offer. 

4. Stained Carpet

Quickly treating minor spills and stains on your carpet often removes them completely, but when you have stubborn stains that won’t go away, it’s time to call the professionals. They have the tools and solutions to remove even the toughest stains without damaging the carpet. 

5. You Want to Preserve Your Carpet 

When you invest in a new carpet, you want to preserve it for as long as possible. Regular cleaning—at least once a year—helps keep your carpets in good shape while also making it easier for you to maintain them. Dirt and stains aren’t given the opportunity to build up, ensuring you have clean, fresh carpets for many years.
