Why professional carpet cleaning is essential

Carpets make rooms look and feel cosy. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s vital to keep the home clean, and this includes carpets.

Carpets can accumulate debris and dust, which can affect allergy sufferers. Allergic rhinitis affects 30% of Britons. In workplaces that have carpets, the performance of staff with allergies can suffer.

Regular vacuuming is essential for carpets, but vacuuming alone does not always remove mites and mould that gets trapped in the pile. It’s unlikely that the Covid-19 virus is caught from touching a carpet, but deep cleaning will make sure that no virus traces remain on the carpet. A professional deep wash of the carpet eliminates all debris, bacteria, viruses and chemical hazards caused by perfume and insecticide residues.

Professional cleaning should be done at least once a year, and more frequently in a heavily used area. Professional carpet cleaners use specialised cleaning products that help keep the carpet fibres intact, and this can prolong the life of the carpet.

A thorough clean first removes dust, food residues, hair, skin flakes and other debris. A wet shampoo suitable for the carpet type is applied. This is rubbed in well with a machine to penetrate the whole of the carpet. Finally, the liquid and dirt are sucked out.

Some households try to clean their carpets themselves in Chester and North Wales, or they hire carpet cleaning machines. For deep-pile carpets, there is a damage risk if the best cleaning machine and solution is not used. Instead, hire a professional carpet cleaning company, which will make sure that the carpet is very clean and undamaged.
