carpet cleaning ' hint of the day ' from Custom Steam
Many folks wonder, "How often should I get my carpets cleaned?"
Answer,As soon as they are dirty!
When soil gets into your carpet, it embeds into the carpet fibers. After a short time, the fibers become brittle and will start to break off. This results in a "wear pattern."
It's the same as your laundry. If you get your shirt dirty and wash it right away, you have the best chance of getting it clean The longer it sits unwashed, the harder to get it clean.
"Does carpet cleaning too often damage my carpets?
No! No! No! As stated above, you NEED to get the dirt out before it does any damage. Also, you want to make sure that you are hiring a company that uses truck-mounted machinery, which is, hands down, the best, most professional way to clean your carpets.
A good rule of thumb is:
For high traffic carpets with pets and children...
2xs/yr.
For low traffic: Once a year/year & 1/2.
Bottom line...
Protect your investment and keep your home,
"Clean, Sanitary & Beautiful!!!
