Christchurch homeowners are seeking to make their household budgets go in the present economic climate. Concerning the maintenance of your home, the idea of hiring professional carpet cleaners is alluring as luxurious or a nice-to-have cost. But the professional cleaners and knowledgeable house owners in the Canterbury area have realized that frequent professional cleaning is in fact one of the best methods of saving huge sums of money in the long run.
The Humungous Replacement Price.
In order to see the financial benefits, we have to have a glance at the cost of the alternative. Resurfacing an average house of three to four bedrooms in a Christchurch suburb such as Halswell or Rolleston is a huge capital expenditure. With such a wool or wool blend, you may need to spend a fortune up to 15,000 dollars plus the underlay, and installation after considering the logistical nightmare of having to have all your furniture moved after, depending on the quality of the wool or synthetic blend you ordered.
The average life of a good quality carpet is 10-15 years, and with the lack of professional care, most of the Christchurch carpets start to look tattered and shabby after five years. Having spent a good money with Business Sun Carpet Cleaning Services to have a deep clean, once a year, you will have prolonged the life of that money of yours, that 10,000. When you do the calculation, a couple of hundred dollars a year is quite a penny to pay to keep off five figures replacement bill every five years or so.
The “Abrasive Grit” Factor
The profile of environment in Christchurch is very specific and unfavorable towards flooring. The grit blown over by the Nor’wester winds in the Canterbury Plains, and the fine silt which the earthquakes have left behind them, serve as depositories of abrasive particles upon our carpets.
As you step on a carpet that has not been properly cleaned these minute sharp particles brush against the bottom of the carpet fibers. It is just as much as rubbing a piece of sandpaper on a tender cloth. This mechanical action shears the fibers permanently with time resulting in the permanent bald spots and traffic lanes that we observe in busy places. Even high-end vacuums used by regular users cannot reach this deep-seated grit since vertical lift is not built into these vacuums. These abrasive particles are flushed out by our industrial grade extraction systems that prevent the sandpaper effect.
Protecting Your Warranty
A lot of New Zealand carpet manufacturers have incorporated special conditions in their warranty that the carpet be cleaned at least once in 12 to 18 months by a professional. In case of manufacturing fault or premature wear and you are not able to prove that you had done professional maintenance, your warranty might be canceled. Having your receipts of a professional service will guard your legal right to a replacement or repair of the product itself in the event something does wrong with it.
Health Cost and Energy Efficiency.
Another benefit is a thinly veiled financial gain on the efficiency of your home. The heavy, filthy carpet fibres may literally hold moisture particularly the damp winters in Christchurch. This causes your home to be even more difficult to heat, your heat pump must over work to cut through the humidity in the room. Moreover, since the family has to manage asthma or allergies, which are common in the “Garden City” the medical visits and prescriptions can be expensive. A clean carpet enhances the quality of air in the house which results in a healthy family and reduced absenteeism days.
