Why Regular Professional Cleaning Is Necessary
To Keep Carpets Fresh & Hygienic
ALL STAR BLOG Why Regular Professional Cleaning Is Necessary To Keep Carpets Fresh & Hygienic Like the clothes you wear, carpets need regular cleaning to keep them fresh and hygienic. Accumulated dust and grime can not only have a destructive effect on carpet life, it also poses very real health threats. Dust and other allergens such tiny flakes of skin or hair from certain animals can cause allergies not to mention that carpets left unchecked for a prolonged period of time run the risk of becoming breeding ground for harmful mites and bacteria. But how can you keep carpets clean? Most people resort to regular vacuuming. When you have carpets, vacuuming is a necessity to keep your home clean but most manufacturers recommend that carpets be professionally cleaned every 12-18 months. The reason for this lies in the fact that domestic vacuum cleaners and carpet shampooers, no matter how powerful, do not remove deep-down grime or nasty germs. The truth is: visible dust and grit we notice on carpets that have not been vacuumed for a few days represent a very tiny fraction of the dust the carpet actually holds. Up to 85% of the dirt lies deep within carpet fibers and cannot be completely removed by vacuuming alone. To increase the life expectancy of your carpets and soft furnishings and for a more hygienic home environment reducing the risk of allergies and other potential health problems, regular professional carpet cleaning is necessary. Professional carpet cleaning by All Star Chem-Dry There are two main approaches to professional carpet cleaning: Chem-Dry’s patented cleaning process using a hot carbonating extraction system or traditional steam cleaning. In traditional steam cleaning, water containing a detergent or soap is boiled to generate steam. The steam is then transferred to the carpet through a steam gun at high-pressure to remove dirt and disinfect surfaces. This approach uses an excessive amount and wet carpets can take between 1 and 2 days to dry. Chem-Dry uses a completely different approach to carpet cleaning. The process uses a green-certified and patented cleaning solution safe for kids and pets and the power of carbonation. In a nutshell, Chem-Dry’s proprietary cleaning solution “The Natural” is carbonated to produce millions of microscopic CO2 bubbles. These penetrate deep in carpet fibers and lift grime from even the deepest layers. The dirt is then whisked away using an extraction equipment leaving your carpet looking and feeling Drier, Cleaner, Healthier®.

ALL STAR BLOG Christmas Is Just Around The Corner; It’s Time To Clean & Protect Your Carpets With the holiday season in full swing and Christmas just around the corner, your carpets are probably taking (or will be taking!) more abuse than any other time of the year. This is as good a time as any to make sure your carpets are clean and fresh for Christmas morning when you will all gather on the floor around the Christmas tree to open presents. And while you are at it, you may also want to proactively protect your carpets to resist staining because let’s face it, the Christmas season and inevitable spills tend to go hand in hand. Around the holidays, everyone has family traditions, the most important of which is being together for Christmas. But where there is celebration, there will also be a lot of cleaning both ahead of time and afterwards. Making your carpets one less thing you have to worry about can go a long way in minimizing how much time you spend cleaning up during and after Christmas. To enjoy a noticeably healthier home this holiday season, clean and protect your carpets ahead of time. But here is the thing: even under normal, non-festive conditions, carpets accumulate a lot of grit and regular professional cleaning is important to keep them hygienic. A lot of people don’t realize this but the visible grime we notice on carpets is a very tiny fraction of the dirt that the carpet actually contains. Regular vacuuming helps keep carpets clean but it does not get rid of deep-down dirt or nasty germs.
