As carpet cleaning equipment becomes affordable to homeowners, DIY seems like the way to go for most households. After all, cleaning a carpet yourself is cheaper and more convenient, right? Unfortunately, it is not entirely the case because making mistakes during carpet cleaning can be costly. Besides, professional carpet cleaners don't disappoint; therefore, while the service costs money, it is cheaper than DIY strategies in the long run. Additionally, professional carpet cleaning kills germs and bacteria, extends carpet life and improves indoor air quality. However, did you know that professional carpet cleaning services have other benefits besides the obvious ones? This article highlights a few unique benefits.

Eliminates Traffic Lanes — Humans are creatures of habits, which is evident in how we use our carpets. Notably, some carpet areas experience more foot traffic than others. For instance, the central region on a stair carpet gets a lot of traffic than the extreme ends. Similarly, carpet sections close to entryways and exits receive the most foot traffic. As a result, the fibres on high traffic spots tend to deteriorate faster, leaving behind conspicuous traffic lanes. Restoring high-traffic areas can be challenging because the fibres tend to clump together. However, professional carpet cleaning services can easily eliminate traffic lanes by untangling and raising affected carpet fibres. As a result, a carpet appears as if it has never been walked on.

Prevents Water from Seeping to the Floor — Carpets can either be glued to the floor or stretched and hooked to angled nails around the walls. Such installation techniques make a carpet immobile; hence, cleaning must be done indoors. However, if you decide to clean a carpet yourself, you increase the chances of water seeping beneath the carpeting. It can happen without your knowledge and bring about a host of other issues, including mould, foul odour and floor damages, especially on timber flooring. Unfortunately, most homeowners realise the mistake when it's already too late. Professional carpet cleaners understand the damages water can cause underneath a carpet. Most importantly, service providers clean carpet edges strategically to prevent water from straying.

Warranty Validation — Did you know that some carpet suppliers issue warranties on their products? Buying a carpet from such a store guarantees a replacement in case of damages related to manufacturing. However, such stores also require customers to use reputable and professional carpet cleaning services strictly. Consequently, washing a carpet yourself voids its warranty even if it is still new. The only way to validate a carpet's warranty in case of an issue is to provide a receipt from a professional cleaner.
