What About My Hard Surface Floors & Area Rugs?
Hard surface floors can also be permanently damaged by not being professionally cleaned on a regualar basis. For example, hardwood floors get deep scratch patterns. The grout on stone and tile floors isn’t sealed or the sealer hasn’t been affected by household cleaners and no longer repels the dirt and spillage. Also, the grout is a “valley” that the soil gets mopped into on a daily basis. And finally, a 9×12 Oriental rug can hold up to 87 pounds of soil without looking dirty! This was demonstrated by a study done by the Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company. So, get your rugs cleaned about once a year as well, including removing the dry soil.
