From the benefits of professional cleaning to the ins and outs of the cleaning process – we cover it all. So, buckle up and discover how you can make your carpet shine like never before!
Why have your rug or carpet cleaned?
Imagine this: you have just invested in a beautiful Persian rug. It is the showpiece of your living room. But over time, it loses its shine. This is where the importance of regular cleaning comes in. A rug is more than just a decorative element; it's an investment in the ambiance and health of your home.
Let us tell you why having your carpet cleaned is so crucial:
- Longer lifespan: Think of your rug like an expensive coat. The more often you steam it, the longer it will last. The same goes for your carpet.
- Fresher air: Your carpet is like a giant filter. It catches dust, pollen and other invisible culprits. By cleaning it regularly, you literally breathe in cleaner air.
- Eye-catching appearance: A clean rug is like a fresh coat of paint for your room. It brightens up the whole space!
- Goodbye, stubborn stains: Remember that red wine stain from New Year’s Eve? Professional cleaning can tackle even the most stubborn stains.
As one of our satisfied customers, Mrs. De Vries, put it: “I thought my old carpet was ready for the trash. But after a thorough cleaning by Randstad, it looks like new. It's like a facelift for my living room!”
The Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning vs. Doing It Yourself
You may be wondering, “Can’t I just clean my carpet myself?” While your enthusiasm is commendable, there are good reasons to seek professional help. Let us give you a peek behind the scenes:
| Professional cleaning | Self-cleaning |
|---|---|
| Deep cleaning that penetrates to the base of your carpet | Superficial cleaning that only addresses the tip of the iceberg |
| Use of industrial equipment that you do not have in the shed | Limited household resources that often fall short |
| Years of expertise in treating even the most delicate carpets | Risk of unintended damage due to lack of knowledge |
| You can put your feet up while we do the work | A time-consuming job that you would rather leave to experts |
| We guarantee a result that will amaze you | Uncertain result that may be disappointing |
Our customer Mr. Jansen recently told us: “I tried to clean my Persian carpet myself. The result? A vague stain became a gigantic stain. Never again! From now on I leave it to the professionals.”
How often should you have your carpet cleaned?
“How often should I have my carpet cleaned?” We get this question a lot. The answer? It depends on a number of factors:
- Busy at home: Is your rug the focal point of a busy living room or does it grace a quiet den? More feet mean more cleaning.
- Pets: Do you have a furry friend in your home? Then you know that their hair gets everywhere. Including your carpet.
- Allergies: Do you sneeze a lot? Your carpet could be a hiding place for allergens. More frequent cleaning can provide relief.
- Color and material: A light, silk carpet requires more care than a dark, synthetic one.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend having your rug professionally cleaned at least once a year. But as with everything in life, customization is key. We are happy to work with you to find the best approach for your specific situation.

Special Considerations for Different Types of Rugs
Not all rugs are the same. In fact, each type requires a unique approach. It’s like cooking – different ingredients require different preparation methods. Let us guide you through the specifics:
- Wool rugs: These are like a fine wool sweater. They require extra care and attention. We avoid high temperatures and harsh chemicals.
- Silk rugs: Think of silk as the diva material of rugs. Only the most delicate, dry cleaning methods are considered.
- Antique or valuable rugs: We treat these as museum pieces. We use our most experienced specialists to treat these treasures.
- Synthetic rugs: These are the workhorses of the rugs. They can take a beating and tolerate more intensive cleaning methods.
Our customer Mr. De Boer, owner of an antique Persian carpet, told us: “I was nervous about having my family heirloom cleaned. But the care and expertise you showed put my mind at ease. The carpet now looks better than ever!”
