We have to admit that carpet cleaning is something not too many people think about. If the truth were known, most people don’t even "see" the state of their carpets until it’s time to have some important visitors – such as during the holiday season. Do we all neglect our carpets this way, or is this just something we accuse single men of doing? Regardless, it’s a good idea to schedule regular carpet cleanings throughout the year, no matter who you are. You do not need to shampoo your carpet every month, but you should vacuum every week. If vacuuming regularly isn’t something you do, then you need to begin – for your health and the cleanliness of your carpets.
The very first habit you need to develop is to vacuum your carpets every week. But that is the bare minimum recommended, and you may need to do it more depending on your situation It’s obvious that, if you vacuum on a regular schedule, you will keep your carpets free of the dirt that accumulates, even if you can’t see it. You can’t prevent dirt from being packed into the fibers of your carpets, and the longer you wait before vacuuming, the more dirt will be ground into your rug’s fibers. You should make an effort to avoid this problem because the more dirt that gets ground into your carpets, the harder it is to remove. If you have high traffic areas, then you could even vacuum that once per day, but that is just spot vacuuming and will help.
We ran across some interesting information pertaining to carpets that have been in use for at least ten years. What you will find is they are very heavy if you roll them up and carry them out such as when the carpeting is changed. Of course, rugs are heavy when they are new, but their weight increases over time. Carpets get heavier over time because they collect a lot of dirt that isn’t removed. Even a carpet that does not necessarily look like it has standing dirt has it ground and rubbed into the carpeting. You may find this tidbit interesting. People who work with carpets say it’s true. You can understand why you need a strong vacuum cleaner and, if yours isn’t, you should replace it so you can vacuum your rugs thoroughly during the week.
Many people tend to take their carpet cleaning with less seriousness than it really deserves. The cleanliness of your carpets can impact your overall health, so they should be kept clean. It’s easy to skip vacuuming if your carpet doesn’t look dirty. That is actually not the best approach because you do not see just about any of the dirt that is laying on or in your carpet. If we see something, we do what’s necessary; however, if something is invisible to our eyes, we ignore its existence. We assume if we don’t see obvious dirt on our rugs, that they are OK and we can vacuum another time. But that is deceptive; so just get in the habit of running your vacuum at least once a week and twice is ideal.
Remember that you can help prevent future allergic reactions with a sound carpet cleaning process in place. It’s not hard to do. All that’s required is to vacuum at least once a week and shampoo no less than two times a year. Your respiratory system will thank you for forming good procedures for keeping your carpets clean.
