Did you know that carpeting is capable of hiding up to one pound of debris per foot? Essentially, all the particles floating about eventually land on the floor. The good thing about carpeting is that it traps it. For those with hard surfaces, you know how important it is to keep them swept on a regular basis. Unfortunately for carpeting, they are often neglected because dander, grit, and other nasties can be hidden deep below the surface. Out of sight, out of mind. However, vacuuming area rugs and carpets is important as routinely sweeping the hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining room. But over-time, a film of sticky residue forms over carpeting, upholstery, and hard surfaces. Attracting dirt like a magnet, residue sticks to dirt like Velcro. And no amount of vacuuming or sweeping is capable of breaking those bonds. In fact, the residue is the number one cause for an ‘uglied-out’ and dingy-looking appearance.
