How do Carpets Affect your Health

In a typical house carpet, in addition to the visible dirt and grit on the surface, there are microscopic particles that are embedded in the deep fibers. These particles include:

• Traces of pet waste
• Dust mites and their feces
• Cheese mites and their feces
• Pollen
• Germs
• Mold
• Mildew
• Fungus
• Food particles
• Plus other harmful allergens and bacteria

Are you a pet owner?

How do carpets affect your health? Even if they look clean, carpets carry micro germs and bacteria that can be passed through from one being to another through the air. As for stains, they can be seen on the surface are only the beginning of the stain problem.

Keep your family safe by engaging us for a thorough cleaning. We will sanitize all affected areas, eliminating bacteria and infested debris from your carpets.

Regular Carpet Cleaning is a Necessity

Carpets and upholstery should be considered as giant filters in your home. Air constantly moves, attracting unwanted substances which are then trapped in the carpet fibers. Like any filter, carpets need to be emptied or cleaned on a regular basis. Vacuuming removes a portion of the unwanted substances but leaves a lot more than you realize. This is why virtually every carpet manufacturer recommends that their carpets are professionally cleaned every 6 to 12 months. In fact, some manufacturers are now making professional carpet cleaning a compulsory condition in their wear warranties. The idea that you need not clean new carpets and the idea that you do not need regular and frequent cleaning are some of the myths about carpet cleaning you should discard once and for all.
