No matter what type of carpeting you have, it's important to have it deep-cleaned at least a few times a year, such as during the spring and fall. In addition to looking and smelling better, your professionally cleaned carpeting will be healthier to live with because professional products can remove allergens as well.


Carpet is a beautiful floor covering that can feel quite luxurious. Eventually, like any other floor covering, it will wear out and you will need to purchase new carpeting. Unfortunately, many people don't fully understand how to buy and maintain carpets in order to get the maximum life and enjoyment out of them. This can result in carpeting that looks dull and lifeless only a couple of years after installation.
Before you go shopping for your next carpeting, it's important to understand this material as much as possible. The better you understand what you're buying, the more value you'll have. A good carpet can last two decades or more, but this is only true if you know what you're buying and also maintain it properly. Some things to know about the carpet buying process include:



- Dust -
Dust collects on everything. What many people don’t know is that some dust is composed of residue from microscopic creatures called dust mites. These microscopic creatures thrive in warm environments and feed off dead skin cells. They reside in bedding, upholstery and carpets.
- Fungi -
Houses collect moisture, which are breeding grounds for fungi such as mold and mildew. Though these fungi typically start out in rooms such as the bathrooms and kitchens where moisture collects more readily, they can migrate into other rooms and settle into carpets.
- Pollutants -
In addition to dust and fungi, other carpet pollutants can get trapped in carpets. Outdoor dirt with oil and other elements can be tracked in and get imbedded in the carpet.
