Maintaining your home is very important as it improves the health and well-being of your family and a clean home is also a reflection of who you are as an individual. But home maintenance extends to more than just the floors and surfaces – it includes your carpets as well. Carpets should be cleaned at least once or twice a year, especially in a warm and dusty environment like Dubai. Luckily, many cleaning companies in Dubai also offer professional carpet cleaning. But what exactly does carpet cleaning entail and how will it benefit you?
Our cleaning experts at ServiceMarket have put together some interesting facts about carpet cleaning.
1. Regular dry-vacuuming is important
This is something that you can do to keep your carpet looking good and your home fresh. Dust and soil particles can sift downwards over time and get trapped in the base of the carpet. Regular vacuuming contributes to improved air quality in your home by keeping these particles from being recirculated in the air we breathe.
2. Carpets that are regularly cleaned last longer
Professional carpet cleaning helps remove coarse soils and dust particles that wear away your carpet fibers. Regular carpet cleaning can extend the life of your carpet and improve the health of your family by ensuring that dirt, dust and mites are removed.
3. Professional carpet cleaning removes all dust particles, water damage and most stains
Vacuuming will only remove the dry, surface dirt particles. Professional carpet cleaning companies use specially formulated shampoos and chemicals, and processes (such as steam cleaning) to get down to the base of your carpet for an extremely deep clean.
4. Start with a pre-vacuum
Always ensure that your cleaning company pre-vacuums your carpet before beginning the cleaning process. Vacuuming your carpet before beginning the carpet cleaning process will ensure that all the dry particles (such as dust and soil) will be removed before they are mixed with water and turn to mud.
5. An acid conditioning rinse should be part of the process
Alkaline materials are often used to clean your carpets, so the acid conditioning rinse will balance out the cleaning products used by your cleaning company and also contribute to softening the cleaned carpet fibers.
6. The “wet dog” smell does go away
You may notice that after your professional carpet cleaning service, there is a lingering “wet dog” smell. This happens if your carpet is wool and the moisture sets off a gas from the natural Sulphur in the wool. This a natural occurrence and will go away once your carpet has been thoroughly dried.
7. Does not remove stain protection applied by manufacturers
Professional carpet cleaning services will not remove the stain protection that already exists on your carpet. Many professional cleaning companies in Dubai will use materials that protect the existing stain protection. Wear and tear, and age are the primary reasons the stain protection on your carpet may not work as well anymore.
8. Gets rid of dust mites
Dust mites are fairly common, but you may not have noticed them because they are microscopic creatures that live within your carpet fibers. These little creatures can stir up allergies in your family. Regular professional carpet cleaning gets rid of dust mites that come to live within the fibers if your carpet.
9. Gets rid of mold
Mold growth is often a problem in dirty carpets, especially when you live in a humid environment like Dubai. Some forms of mold can cause severe allergies in your family and can even worsen some. Professional carpet cleaning companies will use tools that strip your carpet of the mold trapped in the fibers and then use special drying equipment to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
10. Clears your home of trapped pollutants
Without regular professional carpet cleaning, airborne toxic gases from your surrounding environment can become trapped in your carpet fibers and slowly be released into your home. Regular carpet cleaning done by a professional cleaning company will help eliminate this risk.
As you can see, there are plenty of benefits that come with keeping your carpet clean. Regular cleaning helps your carpets look newer for longer, eliminates potentially dangerous toxins, dust mites and mold and it helps to protect the health of your family. To get the best results, it is recommended that you hire professional carpet cleaning services in Dubai through ServiceMarket.
