Cleaning your carpet yourself may not eliminate all the dirt and dust. While your concern may be the carpet's beauty and outward appearance and how to eliminate those annoying stains, you're forgetting something- allergens.
Without a professional carpet cleaning, the source of your sneezing, scratching, teary eyes, and other allergies still remains deep within the material.
How carpets retain allergens
Within the thick folds of your carpet are several organisms, spores, old stains, dust mites, and other allergens. The carpet acts almost like a magnet, accumulating them and holding on to these allergens long after you carry out regular cleaning.
More often than not, the source of the constant scratch or sneezing you suffer from is the allergens in your carpet. Here are some of the benefits of a professional cleaning service in this regard:
How professional cleaning removes allergy
Reduces dust
A professional cleaning service can eliminate dust from your carpets much better than you would if you did it yourself. Professional cleaners use high-powered equipment, specialized solutions, and comprehensive drying techniques to eliminate every last allergy-causing spore.
Removes pet dander
Pet hairs are another source of allergies and often cause irritation to those sensitive to them. Deep cleaning can help extract these deep-set hairs and flakes from your carpet, while high-temperature cleaning can help kill allergy-causing bacteria.
Enhances indoor air quality
More often than not, you trigger the allergens by merely walking on the carpet. Deep professional cleaning can help improve indoor air quality by eliminating the sources of allergens from the carpet, where the fibers trap them.

You can follow these tips:
Clean your carpet twice a year.

This stage involves using powerful vacuum suctions to remove the dirty water.
