Carpet is a popular flooring material for several reasons: it is attractive, comfortable for bare feet, and is an excellent insulator for sound. However, the fibers can easily trap contaminants. Routine carpet cleaning will remove these to improve your indoor air quality for a healthier and better-smelling home.

What Does Professional Carpet Cleaning Remove?

1. Dirt

When people come into the home, they track in dirt on their shoes. Pets and children tend to track in even more. This brings with it bacteria such as salmonella, campylobacter, and E. coli. It also weighs down the carpet fibers and wears them down, so the carpet will age prematurely.

2. Dust Mites

Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live in your carpets and upholstery. They leave behind droppings that are harmful when inhaled; they can be especially dangerous for people with allergies or respiratory health issues.

3. Dander

These skin cells contain proteins that can cause allergic reactions, such as congestion, sneezing, runny nose, itching, rashes, and watery eyes. This dander will build up incredibly quickly if you have a dog that sheds a lot.  

4. Mold

Carpeting is one of the most common problem areas in the home for mold growth. The fibers can easily trap spores. When moisture is added from your shoes, the fungus reproduces. Some mold types produce mycotoxins, which can have very toxic health effects, while non-toxic mold can still exacerbate respiratory conditions.

5. Smoke

For households with smokers, secondhand smoke is a serious health concern. In homes without smokers, smoke from cooking can still get trapped in the carpet. While cooking smoke isn't as harmful to a person's health as nicotine smoke, it can still create unpleasant odors. Carpet cleaning helps to refresh your living spaces.
