Philip Ho Carpet Cleaning

Carpet floors are better for allergy sufferers than hard surface floors. The reason? On a hard surface, floor allergens such as dust mites and their droppings, pollens and mold spores are easily stirred up every time someone passes by or something stirs the air. A carpet traps these allergens and other pollutants as well. However, if the carpet is not cleaned on a regular basis the filtering capacity of the carpet gets over-loaded. Question? Concerns? Call (626)573-8959 for a quick consultation.

TIP: Get at stains quickly, 99% of all stains can be removed by one cleaning agent or another if they are cleaned in the first few days. The longer a stain chemically reacts with the carpet the harder it will be to remove it.

The term carpet derives from the Latin carpere, to pluck, probably because carpets were made from unraveled plucked fabric. Carpet has the same Latin root as carpe diem, literally pluck/seize the day. (via randomhistory.com)

From being in the carpet cleaning business for over 20 years, we've heard just about every myth and misinformed advise there is. Here's one of the most common assumptions people have about carpet cleaning: "My carpet doesn't look dirty so I don't need it cleaned." Wrong! Actually, carpets can easily hide dirt and soil which will eventually damage your carpet due to the constant friction applied even if the surface does not appear dirty. This can lead to the carpet wearing, losing it's fiber protection, or loss of color. Carpet manufacturers recommend cleaning every year and carpets subjected to heavy traffic should be cleaned every six months. For any further questions, feel free to comment below. I hope you all enjoy your evening.
