4 Hidden Benefits of Steam Cleaning Your Carpets
Carpets in our homes often tend to get neglected when it comes to thorough cleaning. Dirt and grime builds up as we walk on them, but with regular hovering the effect is so gradual that it can be difficult to notice. The colour of your carpet becomes duller and the fibres lose their bounce a little more each day. However, it is hard to realise the extent of this transformation, as the changes happen only a little at a time. It is just like weight change, the appearance of wrinkles and hair growth (or loss). As we look at ourselves each day, we do not notice the extent of the transformation taking place in our bodies until we compare our appearance to an old photo. If we meet up with an old friend after a long while apart though, any changes to their appearance are instantly apparent. Just so, if your old friend was to visit your home several months after your housewarming – they would likely notice the difference in your carpets. Steam cleaning is the answer – but it does so much more than just keep your carpets looking like new. Below we will look at the four major benefits of regular professional steam cleaning.
The Top Three Natural Ways to Remove Red Wine Spills from Carpets
As we all know, spilt milk is nothing to cry about. Red wine spilt on a pale coloured or white carpet may seem like altogether another matter. The horror of the moment is not hard to conjure in the imagination. You have friends over for a dinner party. You’ve finished eating and are enjoying reminiscing and sharing tales over a few more bottles of wine. As a particularly exciting point in a story – the narrator stands and begins to gesticulate – wine glass still in hand. Perhaps he stumbles; perhaps someone leaves to use the bathroom and he tries to step aside. It makes no difference. The result is the same: the world seems to slow as you watch the wine glass slip from his fingers and slowly tumble to the floor. There is stunned silence as you all take in the dark stain spreading at his feet. You know the next minutes are crucial if you are going to salvage your carpet, but what should your next move be?
How to keep your carpet looking as good as new
The first rule of keeping carpets clean is to ensure that you vacuum regularly, even if there is little visible sign of dirt. Dirt, dust and grime get trodden into the carpet pile and build up beneath the fibres. While you might not be able to notice any large conspicuous clumps of dirt, you can be sure that it is there. Most dust particles are very small, but they occupy our living spaces in great numbers and can often cause problems such as allergies, as well as giving your carpets a dull, dirty look if left to build up for too long. You should vacuum at least once a week, moving your vacuum cleaner slowly and going over each section of carpet multiple times to ensure that as much dirt as possible is collected. A crevice tool can be used around skirting boards and under radiators to remove dust and fluff that would be difficult to get at with your vacuum cleaner.
Carpet Cleaning in London
Whether it is to cover the floor of a modern apartment in one of London’s premier tower blocks or a traditional Victorian townhouse, many people choose light shades and pastel colours for their carpet. White and cream are particularly popular choices, providing a neutral backdrop for furnishings and upholstery. Carpets in these light colours give rooms a sense of space and light, while also holding in warmth and providing a soft comfortable surface underfoot. The problem with light coloured carpets is keeping them clean, and this can prove to be a big problem for families with a new baby. Chances are, your carpets were fitted before the new addition to your home was even a twinkle in your eye. Suddenly, those pale pastel colours and plush wool finishes may not seem like such a great idea, when faced with the mess a baby or toddler is bound to make.
