The Problem With Carpets
While your carpets may look clean to the naked eye, carpets that don’t undergo regular deep cleaning can harbour a multitude of dust, dirt, bacteria and allergens. In fact, estimates suggest that your carpets could be up to 4,000 dirtier than a toilet bowl. With this in mind, it’s clear to see that a quick vacuum once a week just isn’t going to cut it!
Unfortunately, the fibres that make up your carpet are great at capturing and clinging onto dirt and dust particles, as well as providing the perfect environment for germs to thrive. Dead skin cells, pet hair, organic compounds and mould are also common culprits for dirtying your carpets. If left untreated, these particles build up and not only affect the overall appearance of your carpet but could also start to impact the hygiene of your home.
How Can I ensure My Carpet Is Clean?
While getting your carpets 100% clean may seem impossible, there are a few things you can do to ensure your carpets areas free from dirt, dust and bacteria as possible:
- Vacuum as often as possible – while vacuuming won’t necessarily remove the particles that are embedded deeper into your carpets, it will ensure that surface dust and dirt particles are removed. This will prevent them from being pressed further into the carpet with frequent use.
- Use carpet protectors – again, carpet protectors won’t eliminate dirt and dust entirely, but they will do what they say on the tin. Carpet protectors help to form a protective layer on your carpet, meaning dirt, dust, and germs are less likely to cling to the carpet fibres. It also means stains remain on the surface rather than soaking through and worsening the issue.
- Enlist a professional to deep clean your carpets – professional carpet cleaners use specialist equipment to lift dirt, dust and germs from the fibres of your carpet. This drastically reduces dirt build-up, not only improving the look of your carpet overall but ensuring they’re as clean and as hygienic as possible.

Why Should Pet Stains Be Removed Professionally
While it may be tempting to mop up an accident quickly with a towel and household carpet cleaner, this isn’t the best method for removing pet staining and can lead to future issues.
Dogs have a powerful sense of smell and will often return to the scene of an accident to repeat the act. While this is a natural behaviour for dogs, it certainly isn’t ideal for you or your carpets. Odours from pet stains must be neutralised quickly and thoroughly, and this is not achievable with household cleaning products. While these products may mask the smell for us humans, dogs will not be fooled and may even want to return to the spot to re-mark their territory repeatedly. Once this becomes a habit, it can be challenging to break.
Without enlisting professional carpet cleaners, you may run the risk of replacing your carpet or rug altogether.
Waste from pet accidents may also seep into your carpets underlay, making it nearly impossible to remove with household cleaning products. A professional carpet cleaning service like Spring Clean Homes will be able to assess the extent of the damage and treat your carpet accordingly.

We endevour to remove all stains, but if the stain has already caused permanent damage to the fibres, this may not be possible. With any stain, we recommend you do not use household cleaners on it prior to professional help as a combination of the product and scrubbing/agitation can cause damage.
Think of a radish and a carrot. A radish can be white on the inside and pink on the outside, this is how we describe a carpet stain that has not been scrubbed or worked on and the stain remains on top of the fibres. A carrot is orange all the way through, so could have already caused permanent damage to the fibres, permanently stained carpet.
The type of carpet also plays a part in stains being ‘removeable’. A wool carpet for example can easily absorb stains as it has ‘fish scales’, where as a polypropylene carpet is more likely to repel stains as it is more plastic based.
This is a common myth unfortunately. Your will notice that your carpets get soiled at the same rate as before cleaning but because the carpet is cleaner, it can appear more noticeable.
When detergents are used, a residue can be left in the carpet, meaning the carpet can go sticky and attract more soil very easily and quickly. We clean using the latest technology and solutions, so strong chemicals and detergents are a no no for us. We rinse through any cleaning solution that we use with an acidic rinse solution. As well as giving the carpet a ‘conditioner’, this also leaves the carpet safe on the pH scale.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words
Absolutely, but please be aware that there is a reason we undergo as much training as we do. We are able to identify issues that may arise. Its also worth considering that a shop rented machine may not have been sanitised between visits so you could be cross contaminating your carpet with the previous users dog wee, blood, or worse!
Shop rented machines also tend to not be as powerful as our machinery, so if you do hire a machine, make sure you give as much attention to the drying as you do to the actual clean itself. Opening windows is a must, and if possible try to do this on a warm day.
The product that is generally supplied with these machines is a general cleaner. We advise that you try and match your problem to the bottle of cleaner that is supplied.
Hiring a machine from shops will generally not remove issues of dog urine odours as this may already be deeper rooted in the carpet. Sometimes, carpet needs to be pulled up and underlay to be replaced.
