Did you know carpet does a great job as a filter by trapping air pollutants such as pollen, fungi, chemicals, bacteria, cigarette smoke, and much more? Just like a filter, it needs to be cleaned out or it will cause some serious health issues. You may not be aware of just how much your carpeting contributes to the wellbeing of your family. A dirty carpet can trigger asthma, eczema and rhinitis attacks.
Our carpet is a very effective filter, the biggest one in your home. It acts just like the filter that you replace in your heating and air conditioning system. It filters out the airborne soils and particles that pass through it. Without that filter, those soils and particles just sit on the floor, swirling around to cause health worries. During the colder weather months when the windows remain closed, that filtration becomes a bigger issue. Your carpet actually traps and filters those soils and prevents them from becoming airborne. Then, they can be removed with regular vacuuming and regular professional cleaning.
Carpeting absorbs and traps tracked-in soils, pollen, insecticides, bacterial matter and even fungus. As evidence, the black lines that appear on light colored carpet around baseboards, under doors and around cool air returns shows the effect of this "filtration soiling”…. essentially dirt that did not get vacuumed up.
Think of it this way, would you leave your air filter unchanged for a long period of time? No, absolutely not! Likewise, the lack of proper carpet cleaning results will affect the quality of the air that you breathe within your home.
