Carpet cleaning is a must
Rugs and carpets need deep cleaning at least once a year especially those in the highest traffic areas. Besides dust, carpets tend to collect dirt particles, dead skin flakes, and microorganisms. Accumulated dust on the carpet pile may cause carpet to look dull and even discoloured.

Especially during this pandemic period, keeping carpets cleaned and hygienic during the festive season should be a must to welcome the new year.
To ensure your carpet is thoroughly cleaned, contact De Hygienique professional carpet cleaning service provider and give your carpet a deep cleaning treatment.
Mattresses
Let’s set things right on this special day of the year, starting with the mattress that we sleep and wake up on each morning. The mattress is in fact the dirtiest soft furnishings in a home, so it’s important to use the occasion as a reason to deep clean the mattress. Hire a professional mattress cleaner to deep clean your mattress, and go for fresh sheets and blankets. You’ll enjoy a better night’s sleep this way.
Furniture & Upholstery
In preparation for the upcoming festive occasion, consider give your soft furnishings a deep cleaning to welcome the new year. Vacuuming sofas and chairs regularly is insufficient to be considered as deep cleaning. For a thorough deep cleaning, besides deep vacuuming, it’s best to give your upholstery a good wash or hire a professional upholstery cleaner to do it.
