A home with wall-to-wall carpet can feel like a luxury. Warm and soft under your feet, it’s a great surface for small children to play on and brings elegance and style to any room. The only downside is that it can also be a magnet for dirt, allergens, and stains. This is especially true for homes that have children, pets, and high traffic areas.

All hope is not lost, however! You can keep your carpet clean and beautiful with regular, professional cleanings. Not only do cleanings help your carpet last longer, they also offer many benefits to the health and wellness of the people who live in your home. Professional carpet cleanings offer the following impressive health benefits:

Improve your air quality.

Unfortunately the dust, dirt, and debris that inevitably finds its way into carpet fibers can and will migrate to the air. This can be especially bothersome in the winter, when we keep our windows closed and fresh air is at a minimum, and can lead to sinus irritation, respiratory infections, and even asthma attacks. Professional carpet cleaners can minimize these risks by removing deeply embedded debris from your carpet—we’re talking the nitty-gritty stuff that vacuums alone can’t handle. Whether you’re worried about your home or your office, you deserve a clean, breathable place to live and work, and professional carpet cleaning can deliver.

Fight mildew and mold.

Mildew and mold are a fairly common carpet problem, especially in southeastern North Carolina, where heat and humidity are our constant companions. One of the ways mold can creep into your carpets is after a DIY cleaning—when done improperly, the carpets stay wet for too long, and spores quickly settle in. Not only will mildew spread throughout your house and ruin many fabrics, it can also trigger allergies and respiratory issues, especially in the very young and the very old. If you want to clean your carpets, it’s worth it to hire a professional and ensure they job is done correctly.

Prevent muscle strain, aches, and pains.

Cleaning your carpets thoroughly isn’t an easy job. It’s time consuming and the prep work alone can take all day. You have to move your furniture, and this can result in injuries. If you’re older, you may not have the strength to push your couch or bed from one side of the room to the other. If you’re busy (and aren’t we all) you may not want to dedicate a whole weekend to such a tedious job. Enter: professional carpet cleaning. We do the heavy lifting and the deep cleaning, allowing you to save your energy for something a bit more fun. As professional handymen, it’s the least we can do.
