Even though most people are aware that routine carpet care can significantly prolong the life of your carpet, the tendency is to wait until carpets are soiled before undertaking that task. However, there are many unseen benefits of regular professional cleaning, regardless of whether it "appears" to need it.
While carpeting makes your home beautiful and is benefical as well, it also is a very efficient collector of pollutants. These contaminants collect in our carpets and without routine cleaning they start to filter back into our indoor air, aggravating allergy and asthma symptoms. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes that "indoor air quality in most homes is often 10 to 100 times worse than outdoor air." Routine, professional carpet maintenance helps to improve the air you breathe inside your home, giving you and your family a healthier indoor environment.
In fact, did you know that dust mites are more likely to be found inside the bedroom than any other room in your home? According to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), "ridding your carpets and upholstery of dust and dust mites can significantly alleviate the symptoms of allergies and asthma."
Keep in mind this also includes cleaning your mattresses. Millions of harmful dust mites thrive in every mattress along with our dead skin cells (which you inhale all night long while you sleep!) and the only way to thoroughly remove them is to have them professionally cleaned.
Removing dust and soil regularly from all surfaces within your home is a key ingredient in achieving and maintaining good indoor air quality. While vacuuming often helps to keep indoor air cleaner and extends carpet life, the EPA recommends regularly scheduled professional cleaning and extraction for total soil removal as well.
The EPA also suggests that truck-mount extraction cleaning is the most effective way to remove soil. This environmentally sound cleaning technology is a relatively new process whereby vacuums attached to the truck siphon the dirt directly from your home into the truck for a more thorough dirt removal. This service is available only from someone who is properly trained in the application of those methods and technology.
