Have a brand new vacuum that is already starting to lose its power? We have all had similar experiences. When a mess happens it is our first instinct to hurry to grab the vacuum to clean it up. Vacuum cleaners have their limits and can start to lose power once they reach them. Chem-Dry Carpet Tech understands how important it is to keep your house clean. Vacuuming is an important part of this, and no one wants to have to keep replacing their vacuum. We have gathered a few tips to help keep your home clean & your vacuum in shape.
#1. Leave the Deep Cleaning to the Professionals
Vacuuming is an important step in keeping a clean home. Vacuums are great for picking up dirt and crumbs but aren’t always able to get rid of the invisible threats that are hidden in your carpets. There are non-living allergens* that can linger in your home even after vacuuming. Your average vacuum cleaner isn’t made to clean deep down into the fibers of your carpet to get rid of pet hair and odors that are stuck in your carpet pads.
#2. Avoid Vacuuming Moist Carpet
Do not vacuum over wet carpet. This is a death sentence for a vacuum. It might not sound like a big deal, but the moisture in your carpet causes erosion, mildew build-up, and mold growth inside your vacuum. Wet spills can negatively affect your carpet, but if you do end up with a spot that needs to be vacuumed, wait until it is 100% dry or contact Chem-Dry Carpet Tech to use their professional equipment so that the job gets done correctly.
#3. Know when it is Time to Say Goodbye
If your vacuuming is losing suction power it might be time to start looking for a replacement. You don’t want to be using a vacuum that isn’t working properly because it could damage your carpets. To help keep your carpets in good shape you should call Chem-Dry Carpet Tech for deep cleaning at least once a year.
To keep a healthy home it is important to have both a good vacuum and a professional cleaner on hand. This will help your carpets look their best & last longer. Chem-Dry Carpet Tech is here to help!
