Why We Need To Clean Carpet?
Microbes are everywhere. While most are totally harmless, some do pose a health threat to your family. The chemical process used to clean your carpets alters the living environment of microbes, thus eliminating many of them from your home. All of the elements that go into producing a clean carpet, including changes in pH, hot water, and the chemicals used, go into reducing the life of microbes.
Did you know?
Carpet and upholstery cleaning can actually have a positive impact on allergies if proper cleaning is performed. Dust mites, mold, mildew, fungi, and allergens are easily and effectively removed with proper carpet cleaning. Prior to removal these allergens are trapped out of the breathing zone within the carpet pile fibers. Other flooring surfaces allow allergens to become airborne with each footstep.
With extra attention given to carpet and upholstery during fall and spring, many allergy symptoms can be greatly reduced. Carpet and upholstery should always be deep cleaned every six months. This will ensure a much happier and healthier home!
Indoor air quality is becoming a major concern to our health. Imagine carpet can help keep the air you breathe, cleaner. Carpet acts as a large filter, trapping bio-pollutants and contaminants removing them from the breathable air.
However, when these filters (carpet) become full of contaminants, the filters must be cleaned or replaced. From another side, if you do not long clean your carpet:
Have you ever heard that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air? Well, it’s true as reported to Congress by the Environmental Protection Agency. This is because indoor air doesn’t get circulated. It never gets completely replaced. Outdoor air on the other hand gets blown away and new, cleaner air replaces it.
It is advisable to deep clean carpets at least once in 12 or 18 months. This will not only remove the dust and the dirt but also the deep stains. As a result of deep carpet cleaning, the life span of your carpet will increase and it will also look as good as new.
So don’t forget about carpet cleaning and your health!
