Carpet Cleaning: What you can’t see CAN hurt you


Carpets provide more than just esthetic purposes for a room. They help regulate room temperature and they also improve acoustics. However, it as a well known breeding ground for bacteria. Thus, the need for regular and proper carpet cleaning is imperative.

The Environmental Protection Agency has identified indoor air pollution as one of the top 5 urgent environmental risks to the public and foreign particles from carpets are part of the causes for health complications, specifically, respiratory problems.

Here are 3 of the most common bacteria found in carpets:

MOLDS

Carpet cleaning companies shared that molds are the most common problems in households and commercial establishments. Constantly changing weather and prolonged exposure to moisture elevates the growth of m molds. Pets and people are often the carriers of the spores from these molds which allow them to multiply and reach dangerous levels that ultimately cause asthma attacks, allergy outbreaks, and skin rashes. Carpet cleaning—shampooing, bonnet cleaning, dry cleaning has to be done at least once a month is required to control molds.

SALMONELLA

These bacteria dwell in animal feces and dirty water. Households with pets should be meticulous about carpet cleaning. Babies, who are always crawling on the carpets can easily ingest and get infected with Salmonella. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and sometimes, vomiting as soon as 12 hours after exposure. Carpet cleaning companies will use chemical disinfectants to eliminate these bacteria (as well as to get rid of any odor from pet stains).

CAMPYLOBACTER

These are food-borne bacteria. Logically, crumbs that are left to sit in between carpet fibers become more and more suitable for this type of bacteria. Even dried fluids such as milk can become an easy breeding ground for Campylobacter. Symptoms can appear as quickly as 2 days after exposure. Common symptoms are stomach cramps and bloody stools. Again, this puts a highlight on the need for regular and thorough carpet cleaning to eliminate crumbs and dried fluids on your carpet.

Getting your carpets cleaned once a month ensures lower risks of digestive, respiratory, and skin complications. Hiring professionals to clean your floor covers is an effective preventive measure to keep people inside your home or work place safe.
