Most realtors will tell you that first impressions are extremely important! In addition to taking care of any needed repairs, is a fresh coat of paint indoors and out (especially the front door) needed? The lawn and the landscaping should look their best. Along with these, the appearance of your floors are quickly noticed by your potential homebuyer.
Do your carpets, rugs and upholstery have stains or are they soiled? Are they showing signs of wear and tear? Have they absorbed odors from cooking, smoking or furry friends? If any or all of these conditions exist, then a potential homebuyer will have less interest or offer much less than you were wanting. Conversely, if your carpets look fairly good but are an off-color or out-of-style, this could have a negative impact.
Therefore, you are left with two choices, do you clean or replace the carpet to give your prospective buyer that first good impression? If possible, cleaning should be your first choice as new carpet is expensive, time-consuming to purchase and also new carpet sometimes has a strong smell of chemicals (VOC’s). While these are harmless, they will take time to dissipate.
Reasons to Replace Your Carpets Instead of Having Them Professionally Cleaned:
- The quality of your carpet should reflect your listing price. Do not replace carpeting with inferior or inexpensive brands. These types of replacements will not justify a higher selling price.
- Replacing old carpeting can be less costly than a reduced selling price for your home.
- Consider replacing outdated carpets before you list your home.
- In most instances, new carpeting should increase the selling price of your home as it is one of the main focal points for potential buyers when they tour your home.
- Replaced carpeting should be in a neutral color, such as beige. If another color is chosen, your potential buyer might think it should be replaced even though it is new.
Replace your carpet if it’s in any of the following conditions:
- Visibly worn down in high-traffic areas, especially entry areas.
- Frayed or ripping up at the baseboards.
- Impossible to repair damage.
- Smells like mildew.
- Pet odors and stains that cannot be removed by cleaning.
- Overly stained areas.
- Outdated or out of style, such as shag.
- Non-neutral color instead of off-white or beige.
Quite often, Bane-Clene Systems’ professional carpet cleaning, stain removal and deodorizing can make your carpet look and smell like new, saving you the much higher expense of new carpets.
Reasons to Have Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned Instead of Replaced:
- Professional carpet cleaning is a fraction of the cost of replacing carpeting.
- Do It Yourself (DIY) remedies will not thoroughly clean the carpets and remove stains and any odors. In fact, ineffective machines can actually do more harm than good. Save yourself that cost and hassle.
- Let Bane-Clene Systems® get your carpets looking refreshed, pleasantly fragrant and ready to sell for top dollar.
- Bane-Clene Systems® can in most instances remove even the largest and most stubborn stains. This will save you from having to purchase new carpets.
Carpet Cleaning the Bane-Clene Systems® Way.
A whisper of vapor and a rush of air is all you hear inside your home. Bulky equipment remains in our truck to protect your walls and furnishings from damage. Our truck is quiet, too, and we will not disturb your neighbors.
The Bane-Clene System heats an environmentally safe cleaning solution to just the right and safe temperature. This prevents the chance of harm to carpet fibers. We bring our own pre-softened water in our truck. Then, with these gentle and effective cleaning agents and a properly dispensed water-vapor, we loosen soil, dirt and stains which are then immediately extracted to the holding tanks in our truck. This method ensures sparkling clean, sweet smelling and residue-free carpets.
Our equipment cleans deep without wetting the back of your carpets. Dirt, soil, soapy residue and powders left by previous cleaners are extracted and discharged through our hose into the truck outside, reducing the risk of future re-soiling. No soapy, sticky residue remains in the carpet from our cleaning process. Special attention is paid to problem areas with any number of our uniquely formulated prespotters and stain removers.
A sealed hose from our truck prevents spillage and extracted odors from being released in your home. We don’t use your water or sewage facilities and never pump dirty water onto your lawn or driveway.
Our trained, certified professionals have specially formulated spot removal solutions and techniques for blood, rust, red food dyes and other difficult stains to care for your carpet.
Do you have furry friends? We have special treatments for pet stains and odors.
