A very popular question from many homeowners is how much will it cost to clean my carpets? If it has been several years since you had your carpet cleaned by a professional, then it is likely they are quite dirty and may need some special attention and care. You may or may not know, that in order to keep your carpets fresh and free from grime, dirt, bacteria, and allergies you should have your carpets cleaned by a professional carpet cleaning company at least once a year. You probably wonder whether it is affordable or even a bit on the expensive side? So, let’s take a look into carpet cleaning and the factors that can influence the cost price.
Factors which influence the cost
There are several factors that may have an effect on your carpet cleaning quote. These can include the following:
- How dirty or stained the carpet is
- The size and how much square footage
- The degree of soiling (if the carpets have not been cleaned for several years it will take a lot longer to remove the grime and grit built up over the years)
- The fabric and type of carpet
- The type of treatment you have booked in

The process involves cleaning the surface fibres with the use of a heavy-duty motor machine with a spinning pad that is soaked with a cleaning solution in ways of absorbing dirt from the surface of the carpet. Bonnet cleaning is a popular cleaning method used in hotels as a quick cleaning solution in a public area. The carpet can be cleaned with little moisture and have quick drying times in ways to prevent inconvenience to the hotel guests.

Why you need your Carpet Cleaned?
While carpets are an ideal flooring option for your home, it is important to have them cleaned on a regular basis, at least once to twice a year. Here are some of the benefits of having your carpets cleaned.
-
Prolong the carpet life
Having your carpet cleaned regularly by reputable companies such as Unique Clean, will ensure they are cleaned, sanitised, and looking their best all year round. Routine and Maintenance of your carpet will prolong the carpet life. Professional and trained cleaners will use only the best cleaning equipment and carpet cleaning solutions that won’t damage or harm the carpets.
-
Improve the feel and the appearance
By having your carpets cleaned on a yearly basis, this will help make them look and feel sparkling clean. When dust and dirt build-up in your carpet, it can cause the fibres to become matted which makes the carpet look worn and old. Cleaning the dirt and grim away will ultimately give your carpet a softer feel and look better in appearance.
-
Improved health
Carpets are breeding grounds in a home for dust particles, bacteria, and allergens. Contaminants in your carpets can lead to many health problems such as breathing difficulties especially in children and the elderly. Having your carpet professionally cleaned will remove all allergens, dust particles, and dust mites which will dramatically reduce health problems and also make it much easier to breathe.
-
Improve Air Quality
Dirty carpets can impede the airflow around your home. Carpets that are clogged with dirt and dust can compromise the airflow in the home, especially in areas along the walls where the air needs to move the most. The rooms can become stuffy and unpleasant if your carpets are dirty. Having your floors cleaned will improve both air quality and airflow. At premierflooringdublin.ie/carpet-fitting/, they also recommend having your carpets deep cleaned soon after new carpets are fitted to keep away any possible allergens or bacteria/viruses that may be present.
