Carpets can make any living area in your home look elegant and beautiful, but if they are not maintained properly, they can have negative effects. Dirty carpets are a sight for sore eyes for your guests – this gives them an impression that you are untidy. In addition, carpets that are neglected will become a breeding ground for germs and parasites due to the accumulated dirt and debris that are trapped within the fibers. Lastly, the lifespan of your carpets will shorten if they are not cleaned on a regular basis.
