Carpets and rugs add a touch of elegance and warmth to any home but maintaining them in good
condition requires more than just a regular vacuum. Regardless of the brand or price of your
vacuum cleaner, a simple vacuum is not sufficient to keep carpets and rugs pristine. Regular
professional deep cleaning is essential to maintain their beauty and longevity.
Here are five key reasons why vacuuming alone will not suffice for your carpets or rugs.
1. Some Dirt is Left Behind Household vacuum cleaners can only remove surface dirt and
debris.
Many deep-seated particles and grime, embedded over time, are left behind. Even if your carpet or rug looks clean post-vacuum, plenty of dirt remains deep within the fibres, particularly in thick or plush carpets.
Ingrained dirt can damage carpet fibres, often irreversibly. Professional cleaning, a few times a year, can eliminate this embedded dirt, protecting your investment. Our professional rug cleaning service in London uses industrial-strength technology for a thorough clean, ensuring no hidden dirt is left behind.
2. Stains and Odours Persist Carpets and rugs inevitably acquire stains over time.
Vacuuming alone cannot remove stains or odours, and shop-bought products often fail to fully eliminate residues. Stains and odours make carpets look unattractive and can deter guests or customers.
Professional carpet cleaners use commercial-grade stain removers and deodorisers, effectively tackling stains and smells. Our London-based service ensures complete removal of all residues, leaving your carpets fresh and clean.
3. Mould and Mildew
Carpets and rugs can harbour mould, mildew, and fungal spores, especially in humid or damp conditions.
Vacuuming cannot fully remove these spores, which often hide at the bottom of the pile or under the backing.
Professional cleaning with high-pressure heat and steam systems can sanitise carpets and eliminate these harmful organisms, improving both carpet condition and indoor air quality. Our technicians also diagnose and address mould and mildew issues, preventing reoccurrence.
4. Longevity
To ensure your carpets and rugs last up to 15 years, regular professional cleaning is essential. Vacuuming alone leaves behind harmful debris that can damage delicate fibres, leading to matting or bald patches.
Professional cleaning prevents dirt-related damage, extending the lifespan of your carpets and rugs.
5. Warranty
Many new carpets and rugs come with a warranty that requires professional cleaning to remain valid. Check your warranty terms to ensure compliance.
To uphold your warranty and maintain your carpets’ condition, regular professional cleaning is a must, and it can be done for a very low price (see our professional cleaning prices for the London areas).
Keep proof of professional cleaning services during the warranty period and continue these services even after the warranty expires.
