There’s no surprise that carpet cleaning is important not just for appearances, but for your health. Carpets can hold a lot of unwanted dirt and as well as dust mites.
If you could look at your carpet through a microscope, what you would see may shock you. Out of sight is an entire world of microscopic mites that live deep in the carpet fibers and inevitably number in the hundreds of thousands.
Dust mites are linked with dust allergies and have been the root of many health problems. People are not allergic to these actual insects, but what has been proven is that some suffer allergies to the protein in the fecal matter and body parts of these dead bugs. It is these that become airborne. It’s estimated that 70% of those who suffer from house allergies, are sensitive to mite debris in airborne dust.
These microscopic creatures are small enough that ten of them could fit on top of the dot of the letter i. Dust mites are in the same family as spiders and pesky ticks. They also love in upholstered furniture and bed mattresses.
Carpet cleaning once a year is not enough, especially for family’s who have a loved one suffering from allergies. Dust mites feast on our skin cells, fungi and bacteria. We shed 50 million skin cells every day and our dead skin provides an enormous amount of food for these insects.
Vacuuming the carpets will not get rid of these dust mites. To make a serious dent in their numbers a vacuum with filtration capabilities of filtering particles at a rate between one and five microns is required to do a relatively good job. Having a heavy duty vacuum is necessary to help prevent these vacuumed up carpet dwellers from being blown into the air and returning to the carpet.
Cleaning carpets is very important to keep these bugs at bay. Cleaning carpeting using products sold in stores just can not do a proper job. Renting a carpet cleaning machine is bulking, awkward and costly all for results that don’t come near the services professionals deliver.
For those people who suffer with allergies, having a professional cleaner come to your house to do a deep cleaning twice a year is highly recommended. Dust mites are worse than cockroaches because dust mites are in every home.
Don’t wait any longer. Regardless of whether you are a homeowner or you rent a home or apartment, let a professional into your home to get your carpets smelling fresh and looking clean.
