Why is it important to keep your carpet clean?

Your carpets demand plenty of TLC if they’re to last as long as they should and retain their appearance. Unfortunately however, simply vacuuming them is nowhere near enough – and here we explain why.

Indoor Air Quality – A Scary Statistic

The air quality of your home can be as much as eight to ten times worse than the air outdoors – and your floors and drapes are prime sources for harboring the chemicals and by-products that produce this pollution. Only steam cleaning can overcome this, and you should also air your home regularly by opening your windows.

Soiling, Stains and a Warranty That Could Be Voided

Where dirt and grime is left to linger on your carpets, fibres can become stained – leaving discolouration that’s difficult to shift. This makes regular vacuuming essential, however this chore is also vital if you are to meet your side of the bargain when it comes to your new carpet and its warranty. Finally, thorough cleaning also prolongs the life of your carpet.

When Cleaning May Not Be Enough

You could vacuum and steam clean your carpets every day, and still knock a single glass of wine, cup of coffee or beaker of child’s juice over it at the end of the day. Unfortunately, these drinks contain acids that can prove incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

FiberShield® is a fabric stain protectant that overcomes this problem – providing advanced protection for carpets, as well as rugs, upholsteries and even wall coverings. This clever spray on liquid is completely non-toxic (making it safe for pets and children) and will never discolour your fabrics.

We supply and apply FiberShield® to protect our clients’ carpets – effectively coating every last fibre and thread and protecting them from dirt, spills and even from general wear and tear. If you want the investment you make in your carpets to pay off year after year, we’d strongly recommended FiberShield®, as would the hundreds of interior designers and architects who also use it.
