Why You Want Clean Carpet

Have you ever noticed that only a few days after cleaning, you can see dust everywhere?  It covers the glass tabletops and the like.  Dust happens.  Household dust carries bacteria, mold spores, dander, bacteria, germs and pollen.  To add to the everyday grime in your home, your family, friends, pets and even an open window bring in fresh dirt all the time. A lot of it is settling on your carpet.

Between longer work days, time-consuming commutes and kids active schedule that keep the calendar full, who has time to worry about cleaning the carpet?  Today most people are spending less time on household chores, yet we still expect excellent results when it comes to having a clean house. Lucky for us, carpet cleaning methods, products and equipment are improving all the time.  Cleaning carpet may seem like more of a chore than dusting a coffee table, but properly cleaning and maintaining your carpet makes all the difference in the world.  The carpeting in your home is a huge investment, cleaning it on a regular basis, maintains the beauty of your home, improves your indoor environment and protects your investment.  The beauty and life of your carpet depends on the care it receives.

Just how long should a well-cared for carpet last?  Believe it or not, you can find some 100-plus year old Oriental rugs still in use.  But generally speaking, 10-12 years is given as a guideline for quality carpets that are well maintained.  Use your manufacturers’ warranty as a guide for how long you can anticipate a particular carpet to last and how to best maintain it so that it lasts for the specified period.  Look at those warranties carefully, large manufacturer’s are tying their new carpet warranties to proper cleaning and maintenance with CRI Seal of Approval products.  CLEAN Choice is proud to become the first carpet cleaning company in Maryland to receive the distinguished CRI-SOA Service Provider Certification (Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval Program) in October 2007.
