Look after your carpets!

The majority of the dry soil can be removed by vacuum cleaning.
However, you need to clean your carpet on a regular basis to get rid of the oily,
sticky soil that builds up in the pile. Odours and dirt that is tracked in from outside, as well as the dead skin that we shed create this sticky soil.

If you clean your carpet before it becomes too bad,the end result will be easier
to accomplish and help to prolong the life of your carpets.

The carpet with the average family should be cleaned every 12 - 18 months.
It depends on the number of persons living in the home and the amount of traffic
that walks on the carpet.

Choosing the right vacuum is crucial as well. Certain vacuums leave residues behind,
which helps re-soiling.

Your best option is to hire professional carpet cleaners because their experience will
allow them to do a much better job than you can do yourself.

Professional cleaners use the equipment that has more extraction power
and the carpet will dry faster as well.
They know which cleaning chemicals to use,how to neutralise the chemicals used and
understand the differences in carpet fibers.

The system most professionals use is called hot water extraction is strongly recommended.

It is considered one of the best methods for carpet cleaning.
This system is also known as steam cleaning.

You spray a mixture of water and detergent into the pile and
recover the water and soil with a strong vacuum.
This system is perfect for soiled carpets or pet stains.

Upholstery cleaning is important

Many people get rid of their soft furnishings purely because it is dirty.
Such a shame when so much time and money is spent on finding just the right furnishing for their home.
What many people dont realise is that Fitz2kleen the professional carpet cleaning company in Coventry, can also clean upholstery to the same high standards that is given to carpets.
Furnishings are very similar to carpets, in the fact that the same spillages, dirt ,  stains and dust mites that get into your carpets are also in your furnishing.
That doesnt mean you should panic and dispose of it, it means for a fraction of the price of replacing it, you can get your upholstery professionally cleaned too.
