Vacuuming is an important part of cleaning your carpets, but a professional steam carpet cleaning like we provide not only offers a deeper clean, it is an important part of carpet maintenance. The difference between frequent vacuuming and a carpet cleaning is similar to the difference between a car wash and an oil change. Washing your car will help extend its life – slowing rust and wear on the surface, but an oil change is needed to keep the entire thing going for as long as you expected.

Vacuuming carpetsVacuuming carpets only touches the top surface of your carpets, and typically only removes a portion of the loose dirt and dust in your carpets. A Boise carpet cleaning goes further and is much more thorough – it removes dirt and grime down to the base of the carpet, and it washes the fibers of most foreign material that has attached itself to the carpet fibers themselves.

Beyond that, vacuuming has a negligible effect on the bacteria and germ levels in your carpets. With the hot, high pressure spray a carpet cleaning uses, most types of bacteria are killed, and more are washed and vacuumed out of your carpet. Vacuuming has nowhere near the same disinfecting affect on your home or business.

Relying on just vacuuming to clean your carpets or rugs would miss the dirt that causes the most wear on your carpets. In fact, most carpet manufacturers now stipulate in their warranties are void on carpets that do not get a professional carpet cleaning every 12-24 months (check your warranty for the exact timeframe)

Vacuuming is still key to keeping your carpet clean and looking good on a daily basis, and can in fact help extend the time between when your Boise area carpets need cleaned, but it’s not a substitute to a thorough carpet cleaning.
