General Deep Cleaning

Sometimes you need a clean that’s above and beyond the normal day-to-day upkeep. SERVPRO® has the experience needed to provide the best cleaning services, no matter the situation. We’ve answered some common questions below about general cleaning, including carpets, upholstery, ceilings, floors, walls, drapes and blinds.

Why is it necessary to get my carpets cleaned?

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. It’s important to vacuum carpets regularly and to have them fully cleaned on a regular basis, before they’re appearing dirty. Dirt builds up in layers, and when carpet looks dirty, you’re actually only seeing the dirt at the tips of the carpet fibers. If you wait until your carpets look dirty to have them cleaned, they may not be able to be restored to original condition.

Why is it necessary to get my upholstery cleaned?

Textiles such as upholstery and draperies act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair and other soils. Regular vacuuming and spot removal are recommended preventative maintenance for these surfaces, which could increase the time between professional cleanings.

Are you supposed to clean your walls regularly?

Yes, it’s important to clean your walls at least once a year. If you have an alternate heating source that exudes different residues, wall cleaning should occur more often. Additionally, if you plan to repaint a room, cleaning the walls is an important first step to help make sure the paint adheres properly.

You can extend the time between cleaning through regular maintenance that includes dusting and cobweb clearing. Washing your kitchen and bathroom walls more often is a good idea, since these areas of the home are used most often.
