If you can afford to buy a dishwasher, you must also remember about its maintenance costs – cleaning, filter replacing, service, purchase of rinse aid, dishwasher tablets, salt. Without proper care of your dishwasher, it would become unusable quickly.
It’s the same with carpets.
If you do not take proper care of your carpet, the layers of dust, dirt and soiling will become more and more visible, carpet will lose aesthetic values, colours will start fading and carpet will become the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other nasty creatures and odours. Above all a dirty carpet never looks pretty.
We often wonder why wash it? Better to buy a new one!
Of course. You can buy a new one, but it is an expensive solution and definitely not ecological. It is estimated that a carpet made of polypropylene takes 30 years to decompose in a landfill!
The cost of carpet replacement will always be much higher than preventive maintenance, so try to clean it regularly. These are serious savings for your household budget!
If you take a good care of your carpet and schedule it to be cleaned regularly, it will last many years while dust, dirt and bacteria are easy manageable.
How often to wash the carpets?
If you are single and spend more time away from home than at home, once a year is enough. If you have a dog at home or small children, at least 4 times a year. If it’s a bedroom carpet, cleaning it twice a year should be enough. If it is a carpet in the living room, we recommend 4 times a year.
To sum it up – it really is worth having your carpets cleaned professionally. If you can’t afford it, you can try it yourself, if you know how and feel confident! We have seen countless carpets soaked or damaged by the use of inappropriate detergents! Use only cleaning chemicals designed for carpet and fabric cleaning or let professionals do the job!
