Here are some reasons why you should clean your carpets and upholstery:

• Because they're expensive to replace. Your carpets and upholstery are probably some of the most expensive items in your home to replace; it makes sense to look after them and protect them.

• To prolong their life. Regular cleaning, once every 12 - 18 months (depending on wear and tear) will help prolong the life of your carpets and upholstery. (See Maintenance Cleans )

• To stop them looking shabby and grimy. Make a decision - the longer you put off having your carpets and upholstery cleaned the sooner they will look shabby, and grimy and they will wear out much quicker than if they are regularly cleaned

• Your health (and your loved ones') is important. Your indoor environment is in direct relationship to the pollutants that build up in your carpets and upholstery. We use eco friendly products as well as anti-allergy products.

• To rid your carpets and upholstery of these: Dust mites and their faeces, pollens, dirt, grit and grime (not to mention what is walked in on the bottom of shoes) all serves to reduce the life of your carpets and upholstery by many years.

A regular professional clean will:

• reduce wear and tear

• keep carpets and upholstery looking good for longer

• remove dust mites, their faeces, and other pollutants

• add to your indoor air quality

• reduce the severity of allergies 

• leave your carpets and upholstery smelling fresh

Real and Apparent Soiling

Know the difference (a little knowledge is better than none)

Abrading   Is the diffusion of light reflected from a fibres' surface and is caused by abrasive particles, soil and traffic walked in every day

Fading       Is due to a gradual loss of colour due to exposure to light e.g. sunlight

Wear           Is a reduction in pile density due to traffic and abrasive soil (dirt and grit) thinning out individual fibres. It works its way deep down into the pile, cutting the fibres and accelerating the damage and wear

Prevention

How can you prevent your carpets and upholstery from looking drab, and wearing out?

A good doormat    Will help prevent a lot of soil being walked into your home. 

Vacuuming              A good vacuum on a regular basis will help to pick up dirt and keep your carpets looking good (See SEBO)

Regular Cleaning  Cleaning your carpets and upholstery every 12-18 months will without doubt prolong the life of your carpets and furnishings (See Maintenance Cleans)
