Clean and Well-Protected Carpet for a Healthier You

Your carpet and area rug may look clean, cozy and expensive but did you know that underneath its fibers are different types of allergens like dirt, dander, pet hairs, dust mites, molds, mildews and other irritants?

Carpets, draperies, and area rugs not only add elegance and comfort to a home space but also provide warmth and insulation. Carpets function as cushions and shock absorbers on hard surfaces such as hardwood and marble stones.

Keeping your carpet and area rug clean and protected is essential not only to maintain its aesthetic value but more importantly, to keep your family healthy!

If have the nagging feeling of damp, musty, and unpleasant odor around your home more likely your carpet is already harboring molds. Carpet molds can develop in a long run and can live in walls, basements, insulation, and under carpets. Damp carpets and area rugs can be nasty breeding grounds of indoor molds which then can trigger health problems.

Since your carpet is exposed to open spaces and most frequently accessed parts of the house, it will accumulate dirt and irritants over the course of time, resulting in a weaker immune system and health concerns like respiratory illnesses such as asthma and even skin allergies mostly to children and the elderly.

Basic Tips to Maintain Your Carpet

1. To prevent any health issues triggered by dirty carpets, make sure that you regularly vacuum your carpet.
2. Avoid placing wall-to-wall carpeting in certain damp areas of the house like the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry areas that are potential breeding grounds for bacterial and molds growth.
3. Make sure to wipe clean any accidental spills and stains so they will not seep in and penetrate further into the fibers. This will prevent your carpet from molds and mildews.

Unfortunately, it is costly to replace your carpet so proper and regular cleaning and maintenance are highly advised. Also, it is very important to have it professionally protected and expertly looked after not only to slow down the accumulation of irritants but also to ensure its longevity and quality.
