In a few weeks, Christmas will have crept up on us once more, and the family will be eager to gather at your house, eager to unwrap gifts, eat a Christmas dinner, and sit cozily in front of the TV. So, this year, why not go the extra mile to guarantee that the family is in a clean, fresh, and comfortable environment? Here are five reasons why you should hire a professional carpet cleaner before the holidays.
1. A pet and child-friendly environment
When a carpet becomes dirty, believe it or not, the appearance of the stain is the least of your worries. As the amount of soil and dust increases, so does the number of dust-mites, germs, and bacteria.
And, while these little house guests are normally unnoticeable to the human eye, they can pose a serious threat to you, your pets, and your children. These little demons are especially annoying for allergy sufferers and those suffering from illnesses such as asthma. Dust-mites can lay up to 80 eggs at a time, so keep their preferred filthy environment as clean as possible to keep them away.
2. Carpets that are odorless and clean
When we host Christmas, we want the family to feel at ease and settled. This is much easier to do if the carpet is clean, soft, and smells nice. Although you should vacuum routinely, carpets can absorb scents from debris, spills, and, yes, feet over time.
The smell of damp feet on Christmas morning just doesn’t compare to the anticipation of fresh mince pies and mistletoe, which brings us to reason number three…
3. A clean environment literally improves one’s mood.
The family, full of Christmas spirit, approaches Christmas Day. When we think of Christmas, we see ourselves sitting in a warm, pleasant environment, soaking in the perfume of the Christmas tree and candles that surround us. We don’t envision ourselves sitting on a drab, dirty, and unclean carpet that smells like wet feet.
A clean home has the same influence on employee morale and productivity as a clean workplace. Family members may relax and feel at ease with their feet resting on a bright, spongey carpet, rather than seeking for an excuse to leave early and grumble about the state of your carpet on the way home.
4. Longer-lasting carpets
Most of us can attest that carpets are not cheap. They are, in fact, pretty costly, which is reason enough to want to maximize your investment and have your carpets last longer.
The vacuum does not pick up all of the dirt when you vacuum. A lot of dirt gets tracked into the carpet, where it becomes trapped among the strands and is out of reach of the vacuum. This dirt immediately solidifies, leaving a layer of stiff grit beneath the surface of the carpet. This not only results in a darker, duller appearance, but also in damage. The dirt grinds away at the deep fibers of the carpet as it is trampled on, producing matting and thinning of the fibers. As a result, having your carpets cleaned professionally every 12-18 months is a great idea.
5. Removes stains and blemishes from holiday photos
Spills happen, especially in a family with children and/or pets. While most spills are easily removed, there is the occasional stain that refuses to go away. It won’t look good in the Christmas photos shot while the kids open their gifts, whether it’s red wine, coffee, blackcurrant, or something worse.
You’ve probably observed that store-bought stain removal products aren’t always as effective as they appear. A competent specialist, on the other hand, can use a comprehensive carpet cleaning technique and specialized carpet cleaning equipment to quickly remove even the most tenacious stains.
