It is a near certainty that there are some homes in Texas that do not contain a single carpet, rug or floor mat of any kind. Maybe this is because the owner has strong opinions on the aesthetic superiority of marble, stone, ceramic tile and/or wood floor coverings that would lose appeal if sullied by any form of carpeting being placed on their pristine surfaces.
Or, maybe it has to do with allergies to most of the textile materials used for the making of carpets and the like. Which would, probably, be a false reason since it is unlikely to be the carpet per-se that is setting off an allergy/ Far more likely, it is pet fur and/or dust mites hidden away deep within the pile of a floor mat, rug or carpet that has not been properly cleaned.
It is fact that, whatever our reasons may be, most of us do have carpeting around our homes and, in many cases these can be found in nearly every room in the dwelling. Since it is also fact that most people choose to take care of their homes and maintain them in a clean and healthy condition; the result is that Carpet Cleaning In The Woodlands TX is a regular household chore.
Taking Care Of Your Carpets
Some carpets are so valuable that their owners would never dream of placing them on the floor to gather dust and be trodden on but, that is exactly what we do to most of the carpeting in our homes – even fairly expensive oriental rugs. Unfortunately, a dirty and stained carpet of any type (be it cheap and cheerful or a highly prized, handmade antique) has not only lost its “eye and touch appeal”; it has also become a breeding ground for bugs and germs.
Routine Maintenance
Remove things like cake crumbs, etc as soon as they fall onto the carpeting – a manual carpet sweeper might be more effective than a dustpan and brush. Back this up with regular vacuuming of all your carpets (ideally nearly every day).
However, beware of “wonder” chemicals and equipment that are billed as carpet cleaning breakthroughs on the TV Shopping Channels. A wide range of fibers and dyes are used in carpet making and many of these can be damaged when in contact with chemicals (or shrink and fade in contact with water).
Major Cleaning
Either because of build up over time or the result of an accidental flooding, spillage, etc; there is a need to undertake major Carpet Cleaning In The Woodlands TX homes from time to time. Currently a process called hot water extraction is considered both the safest and the most efficient for all types of carpeting. The equipment to do this is expensive and skill is needed to operate it. Therefore, few people will invest in having their own machine; instead, a contractor for Carpet Cleaning In The Woodlands TX will have a truck mounted machine which can be brought to your house to thoroughly clean your carpeting in-situ.
