When it comes to getting your carpets professionally cleaned, there are a number of factors as to why this makes sense.

Quite often people may be put off by the cost, and may fall into the mistake of thinking they can simply clean their own carpets for free. While of course they can do this, having your carpets cleaned by a team of professionals can make a huge difference to the quality of your carpets.

One of the biggest differences between a professional carpet clean and doing it yourself is the quality of equipment used. A team of expert cleaners will use the latest cleaning equipment which usually entails using the latest hot water extraction process.

This is what makes the biggest difference in our opinion, and by applying this heated water, the dirt and grime particles are melted away and are easily extracted. This in turn results in a beautiful finish that is hard to achieve when doing it yourself.

While vacuuming your carpets yourself may give the appearance that they are clean, the truth is the fibres of the carpet will still hold dirt particles that are not possible to remove when using basic domestic equipment.

Another great reason to pay for a professional clean is to keep your carpets looking great year after year. In our opinion it makes sense to have your carpets cleaned at least once a year, which will keep the fibres looking healthy and strong, prolonging the lifespan of your carpets.

So if you're considering paying for your carpets to be cleaned by a professional cleaning company, then don't be tempted to save the money and do it yourself. Sure, you'll want to shop around and make sure you get a reasonable quote, but having your carpets cleaned is a fantastic way to look after them and keep your home looking and smelling great year after year.
