Research shows that carpet cleaning can not only improve the appearance of your home and help your carpet maintain its long life, but also can be one the best ways to help improve the your families overall health. American Lung Association announced that if people in your household are having current breathing issues, such as asthma and snoring then vacuuming three times a week is crucial. Also having your carpets professionally cleaned once a year helps with maintaining a safer and cleaner indoor air environment. Below I have listed in detail three ways that professional carpet cleaning will help with a healthier home life.
- Deep steam cleaning removes imbedded pollutants
The Environmental Protection Agency has proven that a dirty carpet can carry pet dander, ,lead, cockroach allergens, pollution particles and dirt and dust. Attached to the surface of these dangerous particulates is toxic airborne gases. By simply walking or vacuuming over these particles causes a release of these toxic gasses into the air. One of the best things about professional carpet cleaning is it kills bacteria with special products and remove imbedded pollutants with deep penetrating p.s.i. force, heat and high-powered suction.
- Deep cleaning can remove dust mites.
The majority of homes in America have dust mites living, eating and breeding in them. Most people are completely unaware because they are microscopic. Dust mites are not allergens, but they live and eat on our skin flakes. Their feces contain nine proteins and one of them is known to affect our health. The great thing about professional carpet cleaning the hot temperature used will kill dust mites. Beyond just having your carpets cleaned for dust mites also something to consider. Most carpet cleaners can clean beds, upholstery and drapes. All these materials can also contain dust mites.
- Deep steam cleaning can prevent mold growth.
In areas with high humidity, dirty carpets are capable of developing mold growth by the moisture they can easily absorb. Usually in rainy humid weather vapors of water often make their way into our homes and can sink deep into our carpet fibers without us knowing it. Having your carpets professionally cleaned can help prevent mold growth. However they must use fans and high powered drying equipment to eliminate moisture and not adding to it.
