Facts About 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.

You don't have to accomplish a ton of prep work prior to a carpet cleaning visit. Your cleaners will move the large pieces of furniture for you, so you simply need to remove any smaller items such as floor lamps and plants that rest on the carpet or flooring. It's also a good idea to do a quick clean under your beds and sofas, as many items end up in these dusty spaces.

People sometimes mistakenly believe that carpets are very wet after cleaning and that you must avoid walking on them until they are perfectly dry. Your carpets might be a bit damp, but they really shouldn't be wet, as the cleaning equipment removes most of the water. While you shouldn't wear street shoes on freshly deep cleaned carpets, walking on the carpet is usually fine. In general, removing shoes before you walk on your carpet is a great way to keep them clean for as long as possible.

While clean carpeting certainly looks and smells better than dirty carpeting, the main reason why deep cleaning needs to be completed once or twice each year is to improve your health. Professional cleaning removes the dust mites that trigger asthma problems and allergies as well as a large amount of other fungi, bacteria and even viruses. There are viruses that actually can live on unclean carpeting for as long as four or five weeks. If you have children or someone in your home has a weak immune system, carpet cleaning definitely can improve your health.

Stains are something that we all try to avoid, but realistically, at some time or another we are going to spill or splatter something on our carpeting. In general, most stains can be removed, but the sooner they are treated, the better chance you will have of removing the substance. Before you treat, it is wise to know what type of carpet fibers you have and then seek some advice. Call a trusted carpet cleaner for advice or find a carpet-related website with advice about stain treating.

In between the cleanings, you can keep your carpets clean by careful vacuuming. Vacuum all of your carpets and rugs every week, including the edge areas of your carpet. If an area has a lot of people walking around during the week, consider vacuuming this area at least two times per week. Keep your outside shoes by the door and keep your dogs' paws as clean as possible to limit the excess dirt.
