There are several reasons why most people get their carpets cleaned. Maybe you have company coming, your pet had an accident or someone spilled something that you just can’t get out yourself. These are all good reasons, but the most important reason to clean your carpets on a regular basis is for your health. If you think about it, your carpet collects and filters various spilled matter, airborne particles and any soil that enters your home. Truth is that by the time your carpet looks dirty it’s weighted down with contaminants. To name a few you have dust mites, bacteria, allergens, dirt and food particles. You carpet collects them and therefore needs to be cleaned out every so often.
I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Why don’t we just get rid of the carpet?” Well, hard surface floors simply allow these contaminants to roam around and stay airborne. Just walking around on hard surfaces disturbs the particles whereas carpet traps them. Hardwood needs to be cleaned on a constant basis and having tile just allows the bacteria to settle in the grout and live there instead. No matter what kind of flooring you have in your house, you always need to have it cleaned on a regular basis. The cost of cleaning carpet is very minimal compared to the cost of cleaning tile or hardwood.
Living with these contaminants in your house could contribute to your family’s health and allergy problems. Carpet manufacturers recommend that at the very least you should be cleaning your carpet every 18 months. Other factors such as how many children live in the home, soiling conditions, allergy conditions, health status of those who occupy the home and the types of activities being conducted play an important role in how often you should clean. If you’ve installed new carpet in your home you manufacturer may require that you clean your carpet every 12 months to maintain your warranty. Between cleanings you should be vacuuming your carpet on a regular basis. Vacuuming can remove a great deal of dirt.
Most people are now aware that indoor air pollution is an issue and growing concern. One type of cleaning that a lot of people overlook is air duct cleaning. All the particles that end up in your carpet are constantly being recycled through the air in your house. These particles can settle in your ducting system as well. Obviously vents in the floor collect more dirt than ones in the ceiling and we have found everything from cigarette butts from the construction crew that built the house to soda cans, kid’s toys and animal waste. Changing the filter on your cold air return every 3-4 months helps a great deal but you should be cleaning your air ducts every 3 to 5 years depending on your home’s conditions. If you have allergies, you may want to clean them more often to help relieve your allergy symptoms.
