Why professional floor cleaning is so important

Carpeting and hardwood floors add comfort and beauty to your home and are often a huge investment. However, floors can also harbor allergens like dirt, dust, mold and as well as bugs that most homeowners cannot remove with everyday cleaning methods.  Allergens and bugs can affect the health and comfort of you and your family as well as accelerate the breakdown of your floors.  That's why it's important to have a professional floor cleaning at least once per year.

Hardwood Floors

Deep-cleaning hardwood floors is not something that most homeowners can do on their own. Most homeowners clean the surface dirt and dust but actually push a lot of the dirt around and into the fine crevices and tiny bevels in your floors. The biggest threat to hardwood flooring is dirt and grit that gets ground into the surface of the finish and causes ugly scratches and a worn finish.  Over time, the dirt will become embedded into the worn surface of the wood and cause dark areas within the floor. A professional cleaner will remove all of the deeply embedded dirt that ordinary cleaning cannot get.

Carpets

Like hardwood floors, carpets also need regular professional attention, for several reasons. For instance, carpet is an excellent breeding site for mold, especially and cold and humid climates. Mold can cause skin allergies and even breathing issues if left unchecked. With deep cleaning, you discourage the formation of molds in the fibers of the carpet.
Carpets can also often harbor bugs and beetles- yes, it's true. Carpets are giant filters that end up trapping dust, dirt and allergens. Certain insects are attracted by these things. Since carpeting creates a warm and inviting environment, it's all a bug or beetle needs to start eating up the fibers in your carpet and even cause a bad odor.
Maintaining the form of your carpet is another byproduct of regular professional cleaning. Dirt and sand particles contribute to the wear-and-tear of the fibers with their abrasive edges. Over time, through constant use and accumulation of dirt, certain areas can start to look pushed down and distorted. However, with regular deep cleaning, the wear-and-tear is minimized and the carpet looks newer much longer.
