Most people would agree that carpets should be cleaned when they start to look bad or generate an unpleasant odor in your home. While these are great reasons to clean your carpets, they aren’t the most important reason. It is estimated that those allergic to biopollutants (fungi, cockroaches, bacteria, and fungi) make 500,000 to 1,000,000 hospital visits every year. Regularly cleaning your carpets helps keep your family out of the hospital and protect them from harmful pollutants. Cleaner carpets make your home healthier!
So, what are some specific benefits of regular carpet cleaning?
Helps Prevent Asthma and Allergic Reactions
Did you know the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has estimated that one out of five people in this country are affected in some way by allergies and asthma? Indoor air quality is a serious problem. Dirt, toxins, and allergens in our carpets are all triggers for asthma and allergies. When you get your carpets professionally cleaned, you eliminate these triggers and help your family stay healthy.
Eliminates Pollutants Trapped in your Carpets
Dirty carpets can trap many types of indoor air pollutants. Whether it’s pet dander, lead, cockroach allergens, particle pollution, or just dirt and dust, your carpets can collect just about anything. When toxic airborne gases are released, they can cling to these various pollutants and get released back into the air when you walk across or vacuum the carpet. Baker’s Chem-Dry uses special, environmentally-safe shampoos to professionally clean your carpets. Combined with our high-powered vacuums, we can remove all types of trapped pollutants lurking in your carpet.
Helps Eliminate and Prevent Fungus and Mold Growth
If you live in an area with high humidity levels, your carpets have a greater risk of developing mold and fungus growth because the air contains more moisture. Wet and damp weather are also contributors to mold growth in carpet fibers. Outside the kitchen and bathrooms are typically the areas with the greatest risk of mold and fungus because they are the wettest rooms in the home. Moisture from outside and inside sources can seep into the carpets. If it’s not dried and vacuumed quickly, it can cause fungus and mold issues that can trigger headaches and eye, nose and throat irritations. At Baker’s Chem-Dry, we have a professional vacuuming system that pulls the moisture from the depths of your carpets. By eliminating all moisture from your carpets, we are able prevent mold and fungus growth. This, in turn, creates a cleaner, healthier environment for you and your family.
While these are only some of the reasons you should get your carpets professionally cleaned regularly, there are countless other reasons as well. Clean carpets just last longer! Another economic way you can keep your carpets clean is by putting a mat both inside and outside each door in your home. While the outside mat will remove the majority of the dirt and pollutants on your feet, the inside mat removes the remaining dirt before your feet even reach your carpet.
