In this day and age, there are so many ways that you can spend your money. Everywhere you look, there is yet another greedy advertisement vying for your attention and the attention of your wallet. It can be hard to discern what things are worth your time and resources and what things are better left alone.
When you hear about professional home cleaning services such as duct and vent cleaning, tile cleaning, or house washing, you may be inclined to think, “what’s the use? I can clean my own home just as well as anyone else.” However, those who have tried it know that there really is a difference, and that spending your hard-earned cash in these ways is an investment for the future. At the top of the list of things that are totally “worth it” for what you’ll pay? Professional carpet cleaning. Don’t believe us? Carpet cleaning will not only make your carpets cleaner, but it will also extend the lifetime of your carpets. You might still believe some things about carpet cleaning that are simply not true. We at Mummert Home Services in Harrisburg recommend you check out these 3 common myths about carpet cleaning.
This lie, like some of the others, is based on a sliver of truth. If your carpets are left wet after cleaning, there is a decent chance that mold and mildew will start to grow. This happens surprisingly fast. Did you know that mold can start to grow on damp surfaces as quickly as 48 hours after they become damp? However, it is not at all caused by the cleaning itself nor is it unavoidable. To prevent this, go with a carpet cleaning company with expertise and equipment that will extract water completely.
These remedies all do different things with varying levels of effectiveness, but one thing is for sure; they never do a great job and can have adverse effects in the long run. One common one, for example, is baking soda, it will mask odors for a while but does not attack odors at the source, and they’ll likely return. Furthermore, it is hard to remove from your carpet once you’ve poured it on there.
This doesn’t have to be true, although it depends on how you get carpets cleaned. Some methods can leave behind a residue that attracts dirt. The right cleaners, applied in the right way and removed in the right way, ensure that your carpets are actually clean and dry and not just free of dirt but not of residue. This is why it is better to have your carpets professionally cleaned than it is to do them yourself.
So, you want to know where you can invest in your home that will leave you with current and long-term satisfaction? Try out professional carpet cleaning; we here at Mummert Home Services dare you, and are confident that you will not be disappointed.
