Health Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

Keep Your Family Healthy & Happy

Most homeowners have professional carpet cleaning done in order to improve the look and feel of their carpet, as well as extend its life. Having professional carpet cleaning, though, can also greatly improve the health of you and your family. According to the American Lung Association, it is crucial to vacuum at least three times per week in homes where people have breathing conditions such as asthma. In addition to the vacuuming, having professional carpet cleaning at least once a year can offer several health benefits.

  • Exterminate Dust Mite Infestations: Because dust mites are microscopic creatures, many homeowners may not even realize that they have an infestation.

  • Remove Trapped Pollutants: As comfortable as carpet is on your feet, its tight fibers can retain a lot more than dirt. Your carpet can retain several indoor air pollutants including pet dander, lead, particle pollution, dirt, dust, and toxic gases. These substances can contaminate the air in your home when carpet is vacuumed or walked on, and particles are released. Regular carpet cleaning can kill the bacteria found in these substances and remove pollutants trapped deep in the carpet’s fibers.
  • Prevent Mold Growth: During months with high precipitation or humidity, moisture is tracked into the house and onto the carpet. If not dried immediately, this moisture sinks into carpet fibers causing the growth of mold. By having regular carpet cleaning, you can prevent the growth of mold and mildew. This will eliminate unnecessary allergies and sickness in your home.
