Carpets and rugs give a home and office character and warmth. But could it also be behind that funny smell hanging around or the reason you feel an allergy attack coming on? The answer is: Yes!

Carpets are made of fibres that can capture tiny particles from the air which can absorb and trap odours, allergens and all kinds of “funny stuff” from the environment.

Regular carpet cleaning and vacuuming is a must for the following reasons:

Reason 1. It prevents dust and dirt from accumulating

Walking on carpets pushes dirt and dust deeper into its fibres. So even though it doesn’t look dirty, it is!

Reason 2. It reduces allergens

Carpets can harbour common allergens that affect many people. These include pollen from outdoors, pet dander from animals, and dust mites that thrive in carpet fibres.

Reason 3. It can help to prevent stains

When spills occur, immediate cleaning can often prevent staining. However, even with prompt attention, some residue may remain.

Reason 4. It can improve the hygiene of the office or home

Carpets can become breeding grounds for bacteria, especially in high-traffic or damp areas. Mold and mildew can also develop in when exposed to moisture.

Reason 5. It enhances the appearance of the carpet or rug

Over time, dirt can dull carpet colours and make fibres appear matted.  Clean carpets and rugs on the otherhand look brighter and feel softer.

Reason 6. It helps improve longevity

Dirt and grit in carpets act like sandpaper, slowly wearing down the fibres. Protect your carpets by addressing this regularly.

Reason 7. It assists with odour elimination

Carpets can trap odours from various sources such as cooking, pets, smoke, or dampness. These odours can persist even after the source is removed.

If you are thinking that carpet cleaning is a mission – think again.
