Let’s talk about something that we don’t pay much attention to: how dirty the carpet is. People who live on the North Shore know all too well how quickly those beautiful carpets can collect dust, allergens, pollen, and a wide range of microorganisms that you can’t see. A lot of people in the area trust Carpet Cleaning North Shore for good reason. Clean carpets not only look good, but they also have a big impact on the health of your home.
Think of your carpet as a big, soft filter. It gathers up pet hair, crumbs, dust mites, and even bacteria that are circulating around your house every day. If you don’t tidy, things could get messy, but the quiet companion underfoot is doing its best. First, those with allergies get a runny nose, and then they itch. The American Lung Association says that dirty carpets can hold onto indoor air pollution sources that regular vacuuming can’t get rid of.
Kids and dogs are especially at risk since they spend a lot of time near to the ground. Kids, especially little ones, roll, tumble, and play, and their noses get quite close to the carpet threads. Those threads full of dust and bacteria show how easily even your best intentions—like letting the kids crawl and play—can go wrong.
Mold is another problem, especially in our coastal area where there is a lot of wetness. If you don’t clean up a spill or two, mold spores will grow. The Environmental Protection Agency says that even people who don’t have allergies might have nose and throat problems from being around mold inside. A thorough professional cleaning can get rid of mold spores that are still there before they become a problem, though.
What does having clean carpets truly do for your health? Studies have shown that regular professional steam cleaning can cut the number of dust mites by as much as 87%. That is not hype; it is based on Harvard research. Your lungs and nose will be very grateful many times over.
