Carpet Cleaning

Why Carpet Cleaning?

Your carpets should be cleaned about once a year, even under the best of circumstances. Just like most other fabrics, your carpets will benefit from the occasional deep cleaning. You wash your clothes and blankets, so why not your carpets? Vacuum cleaners can only do so much. They work well enough for dust and crumbs, but what about the dirt that has settled into the carpet fibers? What about deep-set bacteria and other harmful substances? Your best option is to hire a team of professionals to deliver a complete cleaning.

Think about what you bring into your house every day. Dirt and grime from the outside world make it into your carpet daily. Do you have pets? You may kick your shoes off at the door, but your pets certainly don't. What about kids? If you have kids, you've dealt with some spills and stains over the years. Like we said, your carpets take on the full force of whatever life brings into your house. Carpet cleaning can press the reset button and give those carpets new life.

A Deeper Clean for Your Carpets

Sometimes, a homeowner's reasons for hiring a carpet cleaning service go well beyond everyday dirt and grime. For example, a lot of homes have dust mites in the carpets, and the occupants aren't always aware of them. These microscopic creatures can make their homes in your carpet, leaving behind waste and smells that nobody wants. A deep carpet cleaning can get rid of these creatures so that your family doesn't have to breathe in everything that they leave behind.

Carpet Cleaning After Disasters and Emergencies

Sometimes, it's not just the day to day things that harm your carpets. For some homeowners, a disaster like a fire or a flood brings an entirely different level of damage. If you have scorches or water stains on your carpets, can they be saved? It depends on how long your carpets were exposed to the disaster. At Castros Cleaning & Restoration, we provide damage mitigation after emergencies like fires and floods, and we try to save everything that we can. We'll assess the damage, and if we can, we'll apply our cleaning process and restore your carpets. If your carpets are unsalvageable after a disaster, we'll help you replace them instead.

Carpet Cleaning For Your Health

Do you have allergies, asthma, or other health problems? You may notice a change for the better when you get your carpets cleaned. Think about all of the outdoor allergens that make their way into your home. Airborne pollen, for example, can get into your house through something as simple as an open door. Those substances settle into your carpets, and as people walk across those carpets, they get embedded deeper and deeper. Some of those allergens get kicked up into the air, causing potential breathing problems and other illnesses.

Mold and mildew can also embed themselves into your carpets, especially during rainy seasons. Moisture enters the home and sometimes settles on the carpet. If your carpet harbors mold spores, this moisture will activate them. Carpet cleaning kills mold and its spores, so you don't have to deal with the health risks.

When was the last time you had your carpets cleaned? If it's been a while, you may have years of allergen buildup embedded in your floors. With the right kind of carpet cleaning, you may start breathing a little easier.

Make Your Carpets Last Longer

Sometimes, it's just time to replace your old carpets. At other times, a good dose of carpet cleaning is all it takes to make your carpets look brand new again. Don't spend money on new carpets if you'd rather keep your old ones. When you notice your carpet's coloring getting dull and taking on a gray tint, it may not be fading because of old age. It could very well be the dirt and grime that have built up over the years. Often, the simplest way to revive a carpet and get its old color back is to have it cleaned by a professional team.

Also, when you take care of your things, they tend to last longer. That principle applies to your carpets, too. Take care of your carpets, and they'll stick around.
