Carpeting may seem like an insignificant choice in the grand scheme of life, but in many ways, choosing carpeting is an important decision for your home or business. Not only does the right choice of carpeting make sense cosmetically, it can also be a practical option for building maintenance. The wide range of styles in carpeting encompass differences in material, finishing treatments, colors, and types of fibers. ServiceMaster of Newton offers professional carpet cleaning in Newton, IA, for virtually every type of carpet, protecting your investment and the longevity of your carpeting.
From natural carpets to today’s more common synthetic styles, carpeting can have a wide range of physical properties despite sharing the same role as a floor covering. Virtually all types of carpeting also share another feature: all are made up of multiple fibers held together by a backing. In the majority of carpet types, these fibers are a type of cloth, and either natural or manmade.
Examining Fibers
If you look at any cloth under a microscope or even examine it close up with the naked eye, you can see that the fibers making up that material are made up of even smaller fibers. For example, if you look at a close-up of a carpet fiber structure, you can see the small strands that form the larger fiber. If you look even closer at a carpet fiber under a microscope, you will see the smaller fibers that make up those small fibers forming the section of carpet as a whole.
In short, your carpets are one big cloth piece made up of many, many smaller cloth pieces. As a cloth fiber, they’re porous and soft. So, what does this mean for carpet cleaning?
Carpet Fibers and Cleaning
Of the many different types of carpet fiber cuts available for homes or businesses, all are made up of similar fibers looped or cut in varying ways. Despite the reinforced strength of many strands put together, carpet fibers are susceptible to damage from furniture, abrasive dirt, harsh chemicals, oils and grease, and high heat. Even if you vacuum the recommended weekly amount, exposure of your carpet fibers to damaging outside forces is still a probable and frequent occurrence.
A professional carpet cleaning a few times a year can extend the life of your carpet fibers more than you may expect. Our high-quality cleaning solutions, experienced technicians, and state-of-the-art equipment provide an optimal clean that rejuvenates your fibers and treats them for defense against future damage.
