Clean, beautiful carpets do more than keep your home looking great. They also protect your floors from scratches and stains. However, many contaminants settle into the fibers, which is why professional carpet cleaning should be part of your annual maintenance plan. Below are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you schedule these services.

Why Consider Professional Carpet Cleaning

1. Alleviate Allergies

A variety of allergens can sink into carpet fibers and cause constant flare-ups to family members. Dust mites, pollen, and pet dander are just a few examples. They may even cause serious reactions that require hospitalization in family members with severe allergies.

Home vacuuming isn’t always enough to reach these allergens when they’ve sunken deep into the fibers. Instead, you’ll need the high-powered commercial cleaners that professionals will use, as well as their ultra-suction vacuum and water cleaners. 

2. Prevent Mold

Mold thrives in warm carpet fibers and will create a health hazard in your home. Mold may cause flu-like symptoms in family members, as well as skin reactions. Curious pets that ingest it may experience vomiting and diarrhea. Spores can quickly spread when kicked up and scattered by the HVAC system or ceiling fans.

Mold often follows water damage, which can weaken the decking below your carpets. Cleaning professionals can remove mold spores and also restore your carpets following a flood.

3. Clear VOCs & Pollutants

New carpeting can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that emit a foul odor and cause coughing, especially in children. Carpets can also hold dirt and pollutants drawn into your home through the HVAC system or on pets and clothing.

Professional steam cleaning is an excellent way to remove these materials. It uses both hot water and chemicals to flush contaminants from fibers and the deepest areas of carpets. It will also restore the color and texture in the process.
