Isn't Carpet Cleaning Just Scrubbing?

There is a lot more to carpet cleaning than mere scrubbing. Due to advancements in knowledge about the different kinds of germs and bacteria that the average carpet can harbor and to the development of modern high-tech carpet cleaning machinery, cleaning a carpet has turned into a kind of science. Besides obvious issues, like treating stains in a quick and Eco-Friendly way, these machines are specially designed to not only clean your carpet on the surface, but also to get rid of all the microorganisms in it. In doing so, experts make use of several chemical solutions and germicides. This ensures that your carpet is not laden with potentially deadly germs.

Doesn't Vacuuming Work?

Well, yes and no. It does get rid of a lot of dust on the surface of a carpet but fails to destroy all the germs that live in it. Several studies have shown that vacuum cleaners spit dust particles and bacteria into the air, thereby spreading infections and triggering allergies. Moreover, depending upon the fabric of the carpet, excessive vacuuming may lead to wear and tear.

While our carpet cleaning specialists do recommend regularly vacuuming your carpet, we also think that getting it properly cleaned by a professional is a must. This is especially true if you have infants, toddlers or pets in the house because they are prone to playing on the carpet. Additionally, steam cleaning has been shown to increase the lifespan of your carpet. To ensure that your carpet is not spreading diseases and allergies, have your carpets professionally cleaned by Feet Up Carpet Cleaning DC today.
