Over days, months and years our carpets attract and maintain a variety of unseen pollutants. What might look like a clean, stain-free carpet may be a breeding ground for contamination. According to the EPA, your home’s indoor pollution may be worse than outdoor pollution.
Most people clean carpets because they look bad. Rarely does anyone acknowledge that their carpet needs to be cleaned in order to protect their health. Carpets that are not cleaned and properly maintained can cause many health problems. The dirt, dust and bacteria that collect on carpets can be harmful for kids and other family members who may be easily susceptible to asthma and skin problems.
Dust mites are microscopic creatures that are very hard to spot, and chances are you won’t notice when they move into your carpet. Even though you can’t see them that doesn’t mean they won’t affect you. The feces and body fragments these mites leave behind can create allergens that may be breathed in when the carpet is disturbed or even simply walked on.
Regular vacuuming and carpet cleaning is recommended to improve air quality. However, the quality and technique of cleaning matters greatly. Vacuuming with an old, worn-out machine can do more harm than good, resulting in the further spreading of contaminants.
