3 Benefits to Carpet Cleaning

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so you should not forget to clean your carpets with family coming! Something that most people may not know is that cleaning your carpet can clear out dust mite infestation. Many homes contain a dust mite infestation but can not see them because they are microscopic. Carpet cleaning also helps eliminate trapped pollutants such as pet dander, cockroach allergens, lead, and everyday dirt/dust. These gases can be spread throughout a home by vacuuming and casually walking across the carpet. Therefore, it can feel like you are cleaning your carpet at home, but it is very important to have your carpet cleaned every 3-6 months depending on the amount of traffic. Lastly, cleaning your carpet can help prevent MOLD growth. This pertains to areas with high humidity levels such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. We tend to forget to remove our shoes after walking in the rain thinking that the front door mat dried it well enough, but that leftover water can settle into your carpet. This leads to mold growth if it is not vacuumed or dried immediately.
