Are my carpets making me sick?

Are my carpets making me sick?

We all take precautions to avoid germs and bacteria when we are at work or schools, and around large crowds. We regularly wash our hands, and sanitize counters and workspaces but, did you know that your carpets may be contributing to health issues too? Issues like allergies or respiratory problems can develop when your carpet has built up dust, pet dander, and pollen.

Professional carpet cleaning can help to manage your carpets, and maintain a healthy indoor environment. Trust your local professional, Gord, the best in the Squamish and Whistler area, to combat allergies and sinus pressure this season by sanitizing your carpet and removing common allergens and irritants.

How can a regularly scheduled professional carpet cleaning service help improve my health?

Improve Indoor Quality

Carpets can trap allergens and irritants over time. Pollen, dust and dander can collect on carpet fibers or burrow deep into the carpet where a vacuum cannot reach it. Professional cleaning equipment has the suction and power needed to provide a deep clean to lift and remove allergens and restores the air quality in your home.

Remove Mold and Mildew

Mold is another irritant that may linger in your carpets. Homes with frequent spills and homes in humid areas have more exposure to moisture which can develop into mold when untreated. Professional carpet cleaning with hot water will eliminate all mold and mildew effectively.

Better Respiratory Health

If you or a family member suffer from frequent sneezing or coughing and respiratory issues it could be time to clean your carpets. Allergens can aggravate conditions like asthma and allergies for your family and kids, but ongoing carpet care will minimize the airborne allergens in your home.

Clearer Skin

Allergens in your carpet can irritate your skin when they build up in the carpet fibers. When you are rolling and playing on the floor with your children and pets, put your mind at ease about the presence of dirt and bacteria by hiring a professional cleaner to sanitize your carpets with the hot water extraction method.

Ongoing Symptoms While Indoors

If you notice that when you are away from your home or on vacation and your respiratory issues clear up but they return once you get back home, this could be a sign that it is time to schedule a regularly scheduled carpet cleaning.

Lasts Longer

Yearly carpet cleanings can prolong the life of your carpets by keeping mold and mildew to a minimum. Mildew, stains and dust can cause damage to your carpets and break down the carpet fibers which will leave your carpet looking dull.

You will have to clean your carpets more frequently when using non-commercial equipment if you do it yourself, versus a single cleaning a year when done by a professional. Professional truck mounted equipment provides a powerful suction and high pressure to spray cleaning solution deep into the carpet fibers for a deeper clean.

Which type of Carpet Cleaning is Best for my Health?

At Eagle Springs Carpet Cleaning we use the hot water extraction method which is approved by carpet manufacturers as the best choice to extend the life of your carpet and maintain warranty.
The hot water extraction method creates steam with water that is heated to about 100 degrees celsius.

The hot water is mixed with our eco-friendly cleaning solution that is both kid and pet-friendly, but tough on grime. Next, a power vacuum suction removes the soiled water, leaving no residue behind. The final result is a sanitized carpet that looks and feels fresh with very little moisture. Minimizing moisture in the carpets helps to prevent the formation of mold and mildew in your carpet.

This specialized method is manufacturers preferred means to extend the life of your carpets and minimize wear and tear on your carpets. The high heat eliminates bacteria and dust mites that can worsen asthma and allergies for your loved ones. The contaminated water is removed and dumped outdoors so contaminates do not recirculate into your indoor air.
