SERVPRO of Greater St. Augustine is the preferred vendor for many local businesses and residents for all carpet cleaning needs!

Carpet is the preferred flooring material for many homeowners, as it helps create a warm and comfortable living environment. However, over time, the fibers can become embedded with dirt, dust, and allergens. While frequent vacuuming is an important part of carpet maintenance, it’s not enough to remove contaminants that have settled. Therefore, regular carpet cleanings are also necessary to keep floors tidy. Here are some telltale signs you should call a professional cleaner.

What Signs Indicate You Need a Carpet Cleaning?

1. Stains

As dirt gets tracked indoors, carpets can appear discolored. Without a deep cleaning every other year, it’s common to see areas with heavy foot traffic accumulate grime. Also, pet accidents and spills can leave unsightly stains that change a carpet's appearance. Professional cleaners have special tools and products that work to get rid of stubborn stains.

2. Allergy Symptoms 

When carpets trap dust mites, pet hair, and dander, they can reduce your indoor air quality. These particles often trigger allergy symptoms, including coughing, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Household members that have respiratory conditions might also find it difficult to breathe. If you’re consistently feeling sick, a professional carpet cleaning will help you enjoy fresher air. 

3. Unpleasant Odors

Carpet fibers can absorb smells that won’t go away no matter how much you vacuum. Unpleasant odors can come from spills, pets, and smoke. You may be able to hide any stenches temporarily with an air freshener. However, scheduling a professional cleaning and deodorizing treatment is the only way to find a permanent solution.
