Even if you don't think your carpet needs a thorough cleaning, here is why you should call us now.
Fact One: Your Carpet Is Crying For Help!! Sand and dirt are scratching and dulling your carpet. Spread the fibers apart and look deep. It's grinding your expensive yarns into worthless fibers that fill up your vacuum bag. Dirt is abrasive, like sandpaper. Every time you step on your carpet, you grind the dirt into the carpet fibers. This cuts your fibers just as if you'd used a knife. This cutting causes your carpet to wear out faster
Fact Two: How do those traffic lanes feel? Oily residues from the street and air are attaching to the carpet. Slightly sticky, they grab dirt and lock it in. Soils bond with the carpet through a process called "oxidation," causing color change and becoming permanently attached.
Fact Three: Is the air starting to smell stale? Pollutants in the air are filtered through your carpet. The carpet traps them so you don't breathe them over and over. Until the natural filtering ability if full, then they are release back into the air for you to breathe in.
Fact Four: Clean every six months and you will breathe easier. The fact is, clean your carpets frequently and they will filter better, last longer, look better, and protect your family's health.
Fact Five: According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 50% of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by polluted indoor air. Over 40 million Americans suffer from allergies due to home bio-pollution. If you or your child have allergies or asthma, you already know many things can "trigger" an asthma flare or episode. Some things that trigger asthma attacks are called allergens. Some people get symptoms from only one allergen like dust mites. More than one kind of allergen can trigger an episode, such as cigarette smoke or pet dander.
Fact Six: OUTDATED BELIEFS, That "HOT WATER DAMAGES YOUR CARPET." Are Not True! Years ago, many people believed this was true because carpets were damaged by "technicians" who didn't know how to properly clean using hot water. But today, we know it's false. By washing then rinsing your carpet with hot water, your carpet is thoroughly cleaned, in the same way that the person who showers then rinses off the dirt and soap will be much cleaner than the person who takes only a sponge bath.
Fact Seven: Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction from a truck-mounted unit. Here's why: a truck-mounted unit cleans much better than a portable unit for three reasons:
1) It heats the water to a higher temperature. For every 18 degree increase in temperature above 118 degrees F, you double the waters cleaning ability.
(2) It shoots the cleaning solution into your carpet at higher pressures, which breaks up the dirt, bacteria, chemicals, and pollens.
(3) The machine uses stronger suction to draw the dirt, chemicals, bacteria, pollens, and tobacco smoke residue, and pet dander out of your carpet.
Fact Seven: A reminder that there are living breathing, breeding creatures in your carpet. Like your common dust mite, and don't forget about fleas. Let's take a look at a few other "things" finding home in your carpet: asphalt, bacteria, car exhaust, chemicals, dirt, dead skin, dust, food particles, fungus, germs, gravel, grease, grime, hair, industrial waste, lint, mud, pet dander, pet stains, pollens, pollutants, rocks, sand, scum, smoke, soil, soot, tar, tobacco smoke, and disgusting accidents.
Fact Eight: Carpet Protection is worth the investment! Your carpet was chosen with careful thought, and is a large investment for your home. Applying protectant to your carpet and upholstery will protect your investment and extend the life of your carpet and furnishings. It seals each individual fiber, not the air spaces in between, giving the carpet and furniture extra protection. Routine maintenance is faster because dry soils are held in suspension for easier removal by vacuum. The wicking action of the product assures uniform protection and increases the carpet’s ability to resist and release soil and stains.
These four reasons are why we recommend protection for your carpet and upholstery:
* Repels dry soils and both oil and water-based spills.
* Soil, stains, and grit easily vacuum out, eliminating the grinding motion between soil and fiber which can wear out carpets.
* Extends the time between shampooing, eliminating unnecessary expense.
*Dirt and stain build-up is eliminated. Carpets retain their natural texture and appearance.
Fact Nine: In the average home over two million dust mites feed on dead skin scales. They hide and live in your carpet, upholstery, drapes, mattresses, and pillows. Mites can double their numbers in just ten hours and produce ten to twenty pieces of feces per day. You get 100,000 dead bodies and 30,000,000 pieces of feces added to your home every day. Mite feces are so microscopic, they blow up into the air as you walk around and get into your lungs. Eighty percent of Americans suffering with allergies are allergic to the airborne mite feces in their home
