Our pets are so well-loved that we often overlook some of the “minor” effects that their fur and dander can leave behind on our carpets. Many people do not realize some of the effects that pet hair and dander can have when left sitting on your carpet for too long, nor are they aware of the unaesthetic appeal of a carpet covered in hair. ServiceMaster Clean by LoveJoy discusses the reasons why you should have pet hair removed from your carpets and rugs regularly.
Why Pet Dander Must Be Removed Regularly
As a pet owner, while you love your pets and everything about them, others may not enjoy the long-lasting effects that pet hair and dander can leave behind.
Allergies
- Most pet owners are not aware of the serious allergies that pet dander can cause. Itchy, watery eyes are often a reaction to a large amount of dander that has settled in the home.
- Take into consideration the next time a guest comes into your house and begins sneezing and uncontrollably blowing their nose; maybe it is time to relieve those carpets of some long-accumulated dander.
Bad odors
- The odor that is often smelled in the houses of pet owners can be attributed to pet dander as well. It may not be your dog that needs a bath; it may be your carpets.
- Dander can accumulate on the carpet and can carry the odor of your pet. Going long times between carpet cleanings can leave your carpet smelling like a pet left outside on a hot summer day. No one would want to smell that!
Appearance
- A nice, hair-free carpet is much more aesthetically appealing compared to a silky layer of dog hair covering every square inch of the floor.
- If someone walks into your house and thinks you have drifted back in time to the days of shag carpet and fur rugs, then it just might be time to get those carpets cleaned up.
How Often Do I Need to Get My Carpets Professionally Cleaned?
- If you have children, pets, or if anyone in your home smokes, your carpet should be cleaned several times a year.
- To keep your carpets in good shape, we recommend setting up a carpet care program to provide regular care and maintenance, which can help extend the life of your carpets.
- It’s best to get your carpets cleaned quarterly using our low moisture method to remove soil before it gets ground in your carpet fibers.
- By doing a quarterly carpet cleaning, you may only need a ServiceMaster Clean by LoveJoy professional deep cleaning carpet service once a year.
