Prolong the lifespan of the rug
One significant advantage of hiring a professional rug and carpet cleaning service is that it helps to extend the life of your furnishings. Dirt, dust, allergens, and other debris accumulate in the carpet over time. They get embedded within the carpet fibers, causing them to split and deteriorate over time.
Removing this buildup of dirt and debris will help the carpet last longer. In addition, a dirty rug or carpet is more likely to attract dust and other debris than a clean one. Vacuuming daily would help reduce the buildup of debris in area rugs and carpets between cleanings.
Keep the indoor environment clean
Carpet and rugs are beautiful decorative floorings. They also act as giant filters, trapping dust, dirt particles, insects, and pests.
Just like other filters, if you do not clean the rug regularly, it gets dirty and becomes a breeding ground for microorganisms. Common microorganisms that thrive in rugs are dust mites, mold, and bacteria.
Prevent mold growth in the rug
Dirty rugs are especially vulnerable to mold growth in areas with high humidity levels. Especially in tropical countries like Singapore, our indoor spaces can get quite humid, which increases mold growth in soft furnishings like rugs. Mold growth in the rug is unsightly, and the spores can be a health hazard in the long run.
