Having carpet in your home provides a number of pros and cons. Both hardwood floors and carpet can be beautiful and they both can be easy to clean if you maintain them. Most like carpet because it keeps the home a little bit warmer in the wintertime, and if you are like me you love to walk around with your shoes off. Carpet collects a lot of dirt and dust just as hardwood does, but if you keep it clean and regularly get your carpet professionally cleaned you will love the comfort it brings. There are a few rules to consider when getting carpet installed in your home.

The first should be to ask everyone to take their shoes off when entering your home. This prevents tracking dirt from the outside. Another should be to tell the children not to eat where there is carpet. If you have children then you know trouble is only a cup of juice or a chocolate candy bar away. When a disaster happens nowadays we tend to look online for remedies and DIY blogs to fix the issue. If you want to keep your carpet looking brand new then you should call a professional in times like this. Using some cleaning agents can discolor your carpet in certain spots making your carpet look older than it really is.

Professional carpet cleaning services combine professional-grade cleaning equipment with the best cleaning agents, and most importantly the experience. Carpet can hold germs and in turn, hold smells. If you smoke in the house then you should get your carpet cleaned regularly, this will keep the smell that you are nose-blind to out and keep your carpet smelling fresh. If you have pets you will smell them no matter what air freshener or carpet powder you use from the store. A professional carpet cleaning service uses equipment that deep cleans the carpet getting the germs and small particles out that fall deep inside the carpet.

So if you want to keep those spots in your new puppy from becoming an issue you can call someone with experience, because a dog has a powerful nose and will seek out that same spot until he is properly trained.

If you have a light-colored carpet then it will be near to impossible to keep it cleaned with store-bought chemicals. Once again it takes a professional to get an even clean throughout the entire surface of the carpet.
