Have you ever stopped to think about what is lurking deep down in your carpet? An article in Men’s Health Magazine cited research published in 2001 which showed that the average indoor carpet had about 200,000 bacteria per square inch. That’s about 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat.
When you get home, dirt and grime that is on the bottom of your shoes or pet’s paws is wiped off on your carpets and rugs. Many of the particles that fall on a carpet or rug settle and never get removed. Your carpets are a harbor for all sorts of gross material: dead skin cells, dust mites, pet hair and dander, bacteria, pollen, dust, bugs, not to mention odors like pet urine.
Isn’t Vacuuming Enough?
Vacuuming is crucial to minimize and control all the things that collect in carpeting and rugs. However, it can only do so much. To deep clean and remove the small particles, it’s best to get your carpets and rugs professionally deep-cleaned every six months to a year. Don’t use an at-home carpet cleaner as they do not have enough suction to get all the grime out. It often leaves a layer of moisture which can lead to mold deep in your carpet.
Besides dangerous bacteria and disgusting grime, dirty carpets also harbor copious amounts of allergens. The pollen, dust, and other allergens that get trapped in your carpet can cause respiratory issues and wheezing when they get kicked up into the air when someone walks on the carpet or vacuums it.
If people in your house have allergies or sensitivities, being in carpeted areas of the house can become miserable for them. No one wants to sit in a room and immediately start to sniffle or sneeze.
Believe us, they do. Take a look at this video to see the filthy water coming out of ONE RUG.
