“New year, new me” – we bet you’ve heard that quite a lot since 2016 kicked in, right? With the dawn of a new year comes new hopes and aspirations, new goals and objectives. For many, a new year brings about renewed enthusiasm in maintaining a healthy body and mind. For others it may be to revamp their home or promise to make a continuous effort to ensure the presentation of their home is at its very best.
If your goal is the latter of the above, getting the carpets in your home cleaned will be of top priority. Here are three specific reasons why you should be thinking of getting your carpet regularly cleaned in 2016 and beyond:
- Improves air quality
Carpets trap airborne pollutants, dust mites, bacteria and other common allergens. This can impact the health of people who frequently enter your home, can lead to an unpleasant odour lingering in a room and it can have serious effects on the overall comfort of a room. After all, no one wants to spend too much time in a room where their allergies are ignited or where they have to endure an unpleasant odour.
- Prolongs the life of the carpet
Regular carpet cleaning helps to prolong its lifespan. Even if you’ve invested in a good quality carpet, it can still wear quickly if not maintained correctly and you may find yourself having to purchase and install new carpets a lot quicker than you might have expected. Most carpet warranties can be declared invalid if you cannot provide evidence of getting the carpet professionally cleaned at least once every 12 months.
- Enhances the appearance of a room
Contrary to what some homeowners might think, stains and dirt cannot be lifted by hoovering or light cleaning with regular household cleaning products. And since the evidence of spots and stains on a carpet can really detract from the entire appearance of a room, you’ll find yourself having to cover these areas with mats and furniture, and thus cluttering the room as a result of trying to hide the appearance of the carpet. A stained carpet can be more off-putting than marks on a painted wall and can totally diminish the comfort of a room too. No one is going to feel comfortable walking on a carpet in bare feet if it has dirt embedded or noticeable stains on it.
As well as the other obvious reasons of removing nasty odours and revitalising the vibrancy of the colours and texture of the surface, the above are three benefits of carrying out your New Years resolution of getting your carpets cleaned regularly. Getting it done before the spring time will ensure that your floors will be in tiptop condition right into the latter half of 2016.
Trust us; once you see the results of your regular carpet cleaning routine, it will be a New Years resolution that you’ll keep for next year and beyond.
