Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Ajax, ON

Every fibre in a carpet is catching something. Grit tracked in from the driveway, salt off winter sidewalks, dust settling out of the air, oils off bare feet, whatever the dog brought in. Vacuuming lifts the loose top layer. Everything else works its way down toward the backing and stays there. The grit is the part that actually costs you money. Sand and salt crystals sit at the base of the pile and cut the fibres every time somebody walks across them. That is why traffic lanes go grey and matted years before the carpet under the sofa shows any wear at all - the colour has not faded, the fibre has been sawn apart. GTA winters make this worse than most places. Five months of road salt and grit gets carried in every day, and it does not vacuum out once it has settled deep in the pile. Upholstery collects the same load, plus body oils that pull dirt in faster once they build up. Rented machines and supermarket shampoos usually make it worse. They lay down a soapy film that never fully rinses, and that film becomes a magnet - the carpet looks clean for two weeks and then attracts dirt faster than it did before.
