5 Signs Your Carpet Needs Cleaning

5 Signs Your Carpet Needs Cleaning

Professional carpet cleaning is a necessity to avoid health problems and illnesses that are related to a dirty carpet.

Carpets are indeed a haven for dust, dirt, and other allergens. If these are not properly cleaned, it won’t only damage the fibers and the quality of the carpet, but it’ll also cause other health issues, like asthma. Therefore, having professional carpet cleaning services will improve the life of your family and pets.

Here are five signs your carpet needs cleaning:

1. Your Carpet Looks Old Or Tired

If you have a carpet that looks worn and old, it could mean many things. One of the best ways to make your carpet look newer is to get it professionally cleaned.

Your carpet has the ability to tie a room together or to make it look ugly. Getting your carpet professionally cleaned will make your carpet look brand new and will add years to its life.

2. You Can See Noticeable Stains

One of the signs that you should be worried about is when your carpet’s color is faded and patchy looking. If you’re constantly dealing with carpet stains, then you know how hard it is to clean your carpet and restore its original look. Carpet stains happen all of the time and, most often, you won’t even realize it until they have permanently stained your floor or carpet.

Stains are especially common in households with kids. If you’re dealing with carpet stains, you’re probably getting tired of spending a lot of time and money to clean your carpet. In fact, you’ve probably already tried a number of cleaning products that claim to get rid of stains from your carpet. In the end, all of those commercial cleaners don’t work very well. All they do is make the stain disappear but leave behind all of the old, dried up the mess on your carpet. Worse than this, you may even end up ruining your carpet!

To eliminate carpet stains, you need to contact a professional carpet cleaner to ensure the job gets done correctly.

3. Presence of Mold

If you think that your carpet is contaminated by mold, there’s a simple and inexpensive way to find out for sure.

You should take a close inspection of the suspected carpet, especially if you’ve been experiencing symptoms such as asthma. If your carpet looks wet, then there’s a good chance that you have mold growing inside of your home, whether that’s indoor or outdoor mold.

Mold is one of the most dangerous types of fungus to breathe, so you should act now and get yourself some mold testing supplies. Mold testing kits can easily be found online and are cheap.

4. Your Allergies Are Acting Up

As you might already know, carpets are a breeding ground for airborne pollutants and allergens. If you have allergies or other asthma-related symptoms that keep on constantly acting up, then it’s already a good indicator that your carpets need a thorough cleaning.

Take note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the carpet is dirty. But it just means that you have an abundance of contaminants and bacteria deep inside its fibers. All it takes is one dust mite or one pollen tick to send off a sneeze for you to have an asthma attack or a pollen allergy.

5. You Notice Unpleasant Smells

Carpets with wool have been known to smell more and you might not realize the reason for this until it’s too late. While it may be tempting to try to get rid of the unpleasant smell by using detergents, chemicals, and even rinses, it’s important to keep in mind that if you want to keep your carpet clean and odor-free, you’ll have to give it proper attention and care.

One of the best ways to ensure that your carpets stay fresh and smelling clean is to use a natural product, such as vinegar and water. Use a mixture of vinegar and water on your carpet after cleaning it with detergent. After you’re done cleaning the carpet, thoroughly dry it.

Conclusion

It can be hard to know when to clean your carpet because there are so many of them. If you’ve ever had carpet in your house, you know how difficult it is to get dirt and stains out of it so you can have a carpet that looks great.

If your carpet is stained or dirty, then it can really start to look shabby, making it hard to have an interior that looks appealing. Your carpet is a representation of you, so make sure you hire a professional carpet cleaner to get your carpet looking nice and new.
