There’s More than One Way to Skin a Cat (and Clean Your Carpets, too)

carpet cleaning tipsThere is an old adage that goes something like, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” As graphic as this may seem, it basically means there’s more than one way to do just about anything.

When you need to ensure that your carpets in your home or business or clean, there are several ways to go about doing it. Many people simply pick up a vacuum, roll it across the carpeting, and assume it has gotten up all of the dust and dirt. This is simply not true.

The vast majority of small particles of dust, dirt, and allergens get caught in the carpet fibers. A vacuum cleaner, even an extremely powerful one, will only get a small portion of the top part of the carpeting clean. This is the part that you visually see. The deeper the carpet pile, the more difficult it will be for vacuum to get up all of that dust and dirt.

Vacuuming on a regular basis, especially once a week, at a minimum, is going to be essential to maintaining good health and cleanliness for that carpeting. However, it’s also a good idea to get a professional carpet cleaning service to come to your home every six months to do a thorough cleaning.

Commercial carpet cleaning services have much more powerful machines, inject water into the carpeting, and this helps to get up 90% or more of the dirt and other allergens they get caught in the deep portions of the carpet fibers.

A carpet cleaning service like Royal Interior Cleaning can also take care of area rugs, including Persian rugs that can be extremely delicate.

Spilling something on the carpet can be frustrating, to say the least, and there are many ways to try and clean this up, most of them potentially causing more problems than they solve.

No matter whether you experienced a spill or just want your carpets to be as clean as possible, contact Royal Interior Cleaning today.
