Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

Regular foot traffic adds to wear and tear of the carpet as well as the accumulation of dirt. But although it’s important to keep your carpet clean to make your property pleasant for visitors, there is also a range of health benefits of having your carpets cleaned professionally.

Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

Removal of dirt and bacteria

Household vacuums only remove dirt on the surface of the carpet, leaving dirt and bacteria to build deeper in the carpet fibers. Over time this will cause additional wear and tear to the fibers and make the carpet deteriorate faster.

Professional carpet cleaning uses industrial equipment to fully extract dirt and bacteria deep within the fibers. This removes the bacteria that cause bad odours and smells and leaves your carpet looking and smelling fresh once again.

Cleaner air for allergy sufferers

Large amounts of microscopic dust and allergens make their way into the depth of your carpet fibers and are difficult to remove using household vacuums.

Over time, the build-up of these irritants causes them to be easily pushed back into the air which can cause allergic reactions. Not only does this reduce the air quality in the indoor environment but it also creates difficulties for those with sensitive allergies including asthma and eczema.

Professional carpet cleaning penetrates through the lower fibers of your carpet to effectively remove and clean these microscopic particles and prevent allergic reactions.

Extend carpet longevity

As dust, dirt and debris collects in your carpet it becomes embedded with the fibers, causing them to split. The split fibers deteriorate quicker than normal fibers and add to significant wear and tear to your carpet.

Using a professional carpet cleaning service will prevent the fibers from splitting and the hot water will effectively sanitise the carpet to ensure that they remain clean for a longer period.

Start by wiping the wood with a soft dry cloth to remove any dirt. Lay a soft t-shirt over the water stain and gently iron in circular motions for at least thirty seconds. The heat from the iron will help the moisture from the water spot to evaporate. Repeat the process until the stain has been fully lifted. How to remove water stains from wood with baking soda Baking soda is a natural, cheap and effective way to remove moisture that is trapped in water stains on wood. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with water until a paste is formed. Apply the paste to the water stain with a soft cloth and rub for a few minutes. Always follow the grain of the wood and avoid applying the paste to areas around the stain. Leave the paste to work for five minutes and remove using a dry cloth. Apply a little oil or furniture wax to re-seal the affected area. How to remove water stains from wood with vinegar Mix equal parts of white vinegar and olive oil into a bowl and apply the mixture to the stain using a dry cloth. The vinegar will work to lighten the stain while the olive oil will help to restore shine in the wood. Wipe in the direction of the wood grain until the stain has been removed. Finish by wiping the mixture away with a clean cloth.

How to remove blood stains Top tip: always check the manufacturing label for guidance and avoid using warm or hot water as this can set the stain. How to remove fresh blood stains Acting fast when treating blood stains will make the stain easier to remove. Rinse the stain in cold water immediately to try and remove blood from the fibres. If treating a lighter material, use distilled white vinegar to life the stain. Spray the affected area with the vinegar and leave to soak for at least 15 minutes. Use a soft cloth to blot the vinegar away and place the item in the washing machine on a cold cycle. For darker materials, mix a few tablespoons of water with baking soda until a paste is created. Place the paste on the affected area and leave for at least 20 minutes. Scrub the paste mixture away using a soft brush (such as an old toothbrush) and wash on a cool cycle. How to remove dried blood stains Dried blood stains can be tougher to remove and may require more patience and elbow grease. Start by removing any solid deposits by scraping them away with a blunt knife. Soak the item in a bowl of cold water, laundry detergent and a few tablespoons of salt for at least one hour. Salt is an effective way to break down blood stains without using any harmful chemicals. Then, remove excess water from the fabric and apply more detergent to the affected area. Place the item in the washing machine on a cool cycle. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process above and create a thick paste using cornstarch and water. Apply the paste on the blood stain and leave to dry before scrubbing away with a soft brush.

Understanding when to Replace your Mattress

15 January 2023

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our health and one of the biggest factors to getting a good night's sleep is the comfort of a mattress. But how often should you replace your mattress? We've put together some key indicators that show that it's time to replace your bedding. Read our top tips for when it's time to replace a mattress below. At MMCS we have over two decades of experience in cleaning properties across the North East. Our trained staff use environmentally-friendly cleaning materials to make your property sparkle around your schedule. From one-off deep cleans to a regular holiday let changeover service in Northumberland, get in touch to book your service today. Understanding when to replace a mattress Noise Your mattress shouldn't make any loud noises, even if you toss and turn regularly in your sleep. If you start hearing loud sounds such as grinding metal or springs then it could mean that your mattress is not supporting you as well as it could be. As well as keeping you awake throughout the night, the moving springs can create an uneven surface which can later cause body aches and pains. If you notice that your mattress is making noises, it's often a sign that it needs to be replaced. Allergies Dust mites are a common household allergy. The build up of dust can cause allergic reactions such as sneezing, a dry mouth and throat and a runny nose. While regular vacuuming and deep cleaning of the mattress can help to ease this , older mattresses tend to store more dust and could be the root issue for allergy symptoms. If you don't notice any improvement after deep cleaning and vacuuming your mattress, it could be a sign that it needs to be replaced. Aches and pains If you find yourself regularly waking up in pain or stiffness in areas such as your hip, neck, back and shoulders then it could be a sign that your mattress is no longer supporting you. Over time, older mattresses tend to drop and sag in places which reduces support that can impact the alignment of your spine while you sleep.
