The Problem with Dirt

No one wants a dirty carpet. That’s why the vast majority of our Redding customers have vacuum cleaners and clean their carpets at least weekly. Still, even with today’s high suction vacuums, dirt gets left behind. It gets stepped on and ground down into your carpet and its fibers, becoming a permanent resident. Make the dirt a little wet and combine it with a carpet that has just enough pile, and it will grab down deep below by getting twisted into the fibers.

What’s the problem with dirt you don’t see? When it’s really deep, it takes considerable build up before you even notice a stain. And here’s the issue — if you wait for the stain, you’ve waited too long!

Look at dirt underneath a microscope and you’ll notice that it’s incredibly rough. If it comes from ground down granite or other types of stone, it’s also quite sharp. Think too of sand. What do we regularly use it for? Sandpaper! And now you can start to see the real problem with dirt.

Dirt does more than just stain your carpet. When dirt has worked itself into your carpet fibers, it starts to wear those fibers down whenever your flooring experiences the slightest movement. The end result is a carpet that wears out faster and doesn’t even last for its scheduled lifetime.
