Why have my carpet cleaned?
Carpets are like the lungs of our homes. They soak up the dust, pollen and allergens in the house, trap pet hair, sand and grit, and soak up soot from traffic fumes, helping to keep the air in your home cleaner.
Have you ever noticed how often you have to dust, sweep, or mop your hard floors? Carpets soak all this dirt up, keeping it out of the air in your home - and out of your lungs!
Vacuuming only removes some of this dirt, so every once in a while your carpets will need a deep clean to remove the build up of all this debris.
Having your carpets deep cleaned will make them look better, improve air quality in your home and extend the useful life of your carpets. It might even impress the neighbours!
