Summer's come and gone--and left its mark on outside the house.  Time to come inside for winter! Outside the house tend to these autumn chores:

It may well be cheaper to hire a carpet-cleaning machine than bringing in professionals. In the case of wall-to-wall carpeting, washing your own carpets also means you can avoid having strangers enter your home, and you won't have to take time off work to let a team in.
However, there are several reasons why we believe it's best to leave the deep cleaning of carpets to the experts.
At Chelsea Cleaning, we've seen some of the tragic results it can have when DIY carpet cleaning and stain removal efforts go awry.

For thousands of years, people have been using ceramic tiles to decorate and protect their floors and walls. Durable and cost effective, tiles are a prime choice for businesses and home owners, especially for common places such as bathrooms and kitchens. However, maintaining a smooth and clean appearance of your tiles seems to be a challenge because of the dirt that builds up in the thin grout lines that hold the tiles in place. The solution is regular cleaning. Water stains, mildew, mould, dirt and dust can easily hamper the looks of the finest tile in the absence of regular cleaning.

Having your carpets cleaned is a chore that usually falls into the same category as spring cleaning: not very fun to do, but necessary, and should occur at approximately the same level of frequency. Most carpet owners, however, will only have their carpets cleaned once every few years (and some not even that). Carpet cleaning is not just important for removing stains. Having your carpet cleaned will improve and prolong your carpet's performance.


How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet?

To keep your carpet looking and performing well for as long as possible, manufacturers recommend having your carpet cleaned at minimum every 12 - 18 months, depending on the amount of traffic in your home.
