Helpful Facts Regarding Carpet Cleaning

By Suzanne Herrman


Keeping one's home clean is always a priority, and one way to ensure that your home is as clean as possible is to hire a Baton Rouge carpet cleaner and deep clean your rugs and carpet. This type of cleaning removes huge amounts of dust, dirt, debris and household toxins. A professional can complete an entire home in a matter of hours, and soon your home will smell and look fresh and clean.

Many people mistakenly believe that they need to move all of their furniture prior to a carpet cleaning. This actually is not necessary, as the cleaners will move large furnishings around as they clean. Removing smaller items such as plants or lamps that rest on the floor is recommended, however. It also might be wise to clean items out from under sofas and beds.

People often worry that their carpets will be quite wet after a cleaning and that they need to stay off the carpet for the rest of the day. Typically, though, your carpets should be fairly dry, and turning on fans, your heater or even your air conditioner can speed up the drying process as well. In addition, while you can walk on these freshly cleaned carpets, it is recommended that you take off your shoes. Actually, taking off your shoes as soon as you enter your home is an excellent way to reduce dirt and germs from entering your home.

Obviously clean carpeting looks amazing and brightens the appearance of any room, but the health benefits of professional cleaning services are the biggest reason why you should schedule regular carpet cleaning every six months. Viruses can live for as long as six weeks on carpet fibers, and deep cleaning removes these toxins as well as dust mites, dirt, fungi, mold and also bacteria. If your home includes children or those with severe allergies and asthma, keeping the carpets truly clean can have an enormous and positive impact on their health.

One thing that can make your carpet unattractive is a bad stain, but just about everything really can be removed if you accidently stain your carpeting. The trick is to treat the stained area immediately and to use the proper cleaning equipment, which might be a simple spray of ice cold water, a mix of white vinegar and water or perhaps some other substance. If you aren't sure how to remove a stain, give your carpet cleaner a call or perhaps browse the internet for tips about removing a specific type of stain from your specific type of carpeting.

While deep cleaning is the best way to get your carpets truly clean, you obviously cannot have the cleaners come every week. To keep the dirt at bay, vacuum those carpets thoroughly at least one time each week although two or three times is better in areas with a great deal of traffic. As we shared before, removing your shoes is a terrific way to maintain cleanliness, and if you have pets that often are outside, make sure paws are wiped before they come into the house.
