Why Vacuuming is Not Enough
If you want to keep your floor looking good and your home looking as tidy as possible, then you may intend to go about this simply by regularly vacuuming and in fact this seems to make up the entirety of most people’s carpet cleaning routine.
However just vacuuming on its own is nowhere near enough to keep your property looking as clean and tidy as it could, and more importantly it won’t be enough to protect your health from the various different hazards that lurk in your carpet. In order to really give your carpet a genuine clean so that it looks as good as new, and so that your health isn’t compromised, you need to use a professional carpet cleaning service. Here we will look at why.
The Composition of a Carpet
In order to understand why vacuuming is not enough you need to first think about the shape of your carpet and how it works. What you need to remember here is that a carpet is not a single flat surface like a wooden or stone floor, but rather is made up of lots of tiny fibers all pointing upwards. This is what makes it so soft and so insulating, but at the same time it also means that the carpet is more likely to trap bits of dirt and other things we aren’t interested in. More to the point though, it also means that when the vacuum cleaner sucks against the surface of the carpet, it often isn’t enough to remove the bits of dirt that are trapped all the way down the bottom at the base of the carpet fibres.
Carpet Crawlers
But is this really such a big issue? Afteral, what could be in your carpet that’s really all that bad? Well actually the answer is ‘plenty’ and there are many different things that exist in our home atmosphere that we really wouldn’t want to rest in our carpet. For instance how about dead skin cells? Over ten years we replace every cell in our entire body, so just imagine how many skin cells we drop over the course of a few days even – and all of this pretty much ends up on our floor. Then there are the bits of food and tiny crumbs we drop, and more importantly the billions of bacteria that get there on their own or get sneezed out onto the carpet by guests. If you want to avoid a nasty cold, then you really need to make sure that you clean this up as much as possible.
Then there are the dead carcasses of tiny bugs and bacteria. Then there are the small bugs that come to eat the dropped crumbs and skin cells. Then there’s the manure of those bugs… and none of this can quite be sucked up by your regular vacuum cleaner.
The Result
The result is that when you use your vacuum cleaner you are going to remove the top layer of crumbs and dust from your carpet and make it look a little better, but there will be plenty of dirt that blew in from outside, dead skin cells and everything else we mentioned still trapped right at the bottom of the carpet.
