At Wizard Cleaning Perth®, we always say that “carpets are a significant investment in your home”, and it’s true. It always seems like they endure a lot of daily wear and tear – from muddy shoes to pet accidents, carpets can suffer quite a bit. When it comes to a professional carpet clean, it might be hard to know when it’s time to call in the experts, as although regular vacuuming and spot cleaning help, there comes a point when a professional carpet clean is necessary.
4 Signs you need a Professional Carpet Clean
1. Stubborn stains you can’t remove
Spills will always happen but some stains such as red wine, coffee, or grease are some of the most stubborn spills to clean up. If you’ve tried multiple cleaning methods without success, it’s a sign that the stain has settled deep into the carpet fibres.
In order to completely remove these types of stains, a specialised cleaning method called “hot water extraction” can help to do this and restore your carpet to its former glory.
2. Strange odours lurking in the carpet
Have you noticed any unusual smells coming from your carpet, even after vacuuming? Carpets can trap odours from pets, food, and daily life. Over time, these odours become embedded in the fibres, making them impossible to remove with DIY cleaning methods.
If it feels as though your home is being taken over by these nasty odours, it is generally a good sign that additional assistance is required, as from our experience, the smells only get worse if left untouched.
3. Dampness or mildew
Did you know that damp carpets can be a breeding ground for mould and mildew, especially in high-humidity areas or after an accidental spill?
If your carpet has started to feel damp or show signs of mildew, it could be a good opportunity to get it looked at as soon as possible. The nasty impacts of mould build up and the way it can impact indoor air quality isn’t worth the risk to see if the problem will ‘sort itself out’. Depending on what is causing the dampness, a professional carpet clean can treat your carpets thoroughly and help to prevent the spread of the mould and mildew.
4. Your carpet is looking worn out
Even if your carpet doesn’t have visible stains, odours, or mildew, it can still show signs of wear and tear. High-traffic areas might look matted, discoloured, or simply dull.
If it’s important for you to have these carpeted areas looking fresh and lively again, it might be time to consider a professional carpet clean. A lot of home owners can make the easy mistake of replacing their carpets without giving them the opportunity to be refreshed. You’d be surprised at what a difference it can make. Here is a recent story of how we transformed decades-old carpets. We think you’ll be quite impressed with the results!
