Why Regular Carpet Cleaning is Necessary

In order to keep carpets fresh, clean and hygienic they require regular cleaning. Dirt from outside can cause the carpet to age considerably and also enable bacteria and mites to multiply.

Vacuuming is an important part of keeping your carpets clean. Carpets in heavy traffic areas should be vacuumed daily to keep them in prime condition.

Carpet Cleaning can be a steamy business....

In the context of carpet cleaning, The hot water extraction method "steam cleaning" seems very popular, This method uses equipment that sprays heated water, sometimes with added cleaning chemicals onto the carpet. Simultaneously, the water is vacuumed up, along with dissolved dirt. “steam cleaning” is the preferred method of many carpet manufacturers as it removes more dirt and abrasive particles resulting in less wear and pile abrasion

Portable steam cleaning equipment that plugs into an electrical outlet can be hired from many large DIY stores or alternatively go onto Google for companies that offer professional carpet cleaning service.

Carpet Cleaning ask the experts

If you have a preferred carpet supplier it may be worth speaking to them for advice on the best way to clean your carpet as different materials need different treatments, jute-backed carpets and loose rugs with natural fibers such as wool could shrink after a wet treatment, Velvet piled carpets and Berber carpets could become fuzzy if cleaned the wrong way.

It is also worth speaking to your carpet retailer at the point of purchase about pre treated carpets this is often recommended in heavy traffic areas.

Ways to create a more relaxing feeling at home

The lives we live are ever getting busier and more hectic, we are spending more time out of home than in it. Our lives are now so full of frenzy that we must take the time to slow down a little bit. 

Unfortunately for a lot of us, this isn’t something that still comes naturally and relaxation needs to be forced upon ourselves.

A chaotic disorganised home is not a relaxed one, but don’t fret, there are a few straightforward basic things that we can do to create a more pleasant and peaceful home to return to after a busy day.

·         Invest in some flowers, they are very soothing both aromatically and visually.

·         Place candles around to add an air of calm, but try and stay away from the scented versions as they can sometimes be a little overwhelming.

·         Let in the light, don’t block out a rooms natural sunlight. Natural sunlight is a great spirit lifter, so be sure to keep curtains and drapes fully open and blinds pulled up.

·         What paint colours you choose to use in your home can have a distinct effect on your mood. Go with blues, greens and greys to create a more relaxing atmosphere, white and beige are also suitable but stick with natural tones. When it comes to furniture and fabrics bright colours tend to energise, so stay away from them if you want a calm and relaxing room.

·         Clear your clutter, its distracting and will instantly create a sense of disorder. Ornaments and trinkets should be tucked away and replaced with fresh flowers and plants.

·         Grab a good book and surround yourself with soft throws and cushions.
