Refresh your home with professional carpet cleaning in Christchurch

Hands up if you are ready to see the back of winter! As the chilly wet days of winter gradually give way to the warmer days of spring, you may be getting the urge to undertake the annual ritual of spring cleaning – do not resist it. From dusting neglected corners to decluttering, spring cleaning is not just about tidying up but also revitalising our living spaces after the long winter months.


If you have a chore list as long as your arm, here’s one more to add to it: get the carpets professionally cleaned.


Why professional carpet cleaning should be part of your spring clean checklist

Christchurch’s climate takes a toll on our homes over winter significantly impacting a home’s upholstery and carpet. Even if you haven’t had flood damaged carpet, there’s a significant  increase in wet dirt and debris being trampled into the house, especially in heavy foot traffic areas such as by the external doors, but there’s also the impact of the climate on behaviour.


Damp and cold weather lead to windows being kept shut, heating systems cranked up and more hot foods being cooked; key conditions to create a buildup of moisture and the perfect breeding ground for mould, mildew, and bacteria. We spend more time indoors which increases the risk of accidental stains and spills that, if left untreated, can become embedded in the carpet fibres.


The cost of professional carpet cleaning

Yes, it costs money to have your carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned but think of it more as an investment. How much do you value:


You and your family’s health

Carpets that have experienced moisture during winter are susceptible to mould and mildew growth. The increase of respiratory illnesses and allergies is not coincidental. Professional carpet cleaning removes existing spores but also eliminates the conditions they thrive in. With professionally cleaned carpets you gain a healthier indoor environment, better air quality and the removal of allergens, and pollutants. Advanced hot water extraction techniques mean the best carpet cleaning in Christchurch is chemical free too.


Prolonging the life of the carpet

Ask any homeowner about the price of replacing carpets, and there’s usually a sharp intake of breath, it’s a big-ticket purchase. Regular professional carpet cleaning significantly extends the lifespan of your carpets. Dirt and debris that is not removed erodes the fibres which causes premature aging; the carpet loses colour and texture before eventually going threadbare. Upholstery is similarly affected by a lack of maintenance and needs replacing sooner if it is neglected.


Kicking winter to the kerb and the feelgood factor

Who wants to start enjoying the joys of spring with the remnants of winter lurking in your home? Spring is a time when you naturally feel refreshed and reinvigorated and getting rid of the detritus of winter makes you feel fantastic. Don't underestimate the impact of professional carpet cleaning on the overall ambiance and health of your living spaces. When your home looks great, it makes you feel great too.
