Three Reasons Why You Should Schedule Carpeting Cleaning

Carpeting is an excellent choice for a home when you’re looking for comfort and appearance. But it’s not a set-it-and-forget-it feature. Like most things in your home, carpeting should be cleaned regularly. Not only will frequent cleanings prolong the lifespan of your carpeting and keep your home looking inviting, they benefit your health.

Here are a few of the health benefits of professional carpet cleaning.

Removes pollutants.

Your carpet is like a grandmother’s purse, collecting all sorts of things. But, unlike nana’s purse, which is filled with fun things like hard candies, restaurant sugar packets, tissues, and old lipsticks, your carpet collects dirt, dust, pet dander, mold spores, and insect particles. These pollutants, released into the air in your home through daily activity, can cause and exacerbate respiratory and allergy problems.

Prevents mold and mildew.

Mold and mildew can grow on carpet and go undetected for years. You might not even know it’s growing underfoot unless you pull up the flooring. Mold growth can lead to ailments such as chronic allergies, bronchitis, and asthma.

Prevents an infestation of dust mites.

Dust mites are tiny bugs that thrive on the dust and dander that accumulate on household items like furniture, bed linens, and carpets. While they might be visible only through a microscope, they can cause enormous health problems. Your carpet can house as many as 2,000 dust mites. Each of those mites may leave as many as 20 droppings a day, which you unknowingly kick into the air. 2,000 x 20 x the last time you had your carpet cleaned. We’ll let you do the math. Keeping your carpets clean benefits the look of your home and, most importantly, the health of you and your family.

3 Important Reasons You Should Schedule a Deep Clean Before the Holidays

The holiday season is here! Your to-do list is probably overflowing with planning, and shopping, and celebrating. And carpet cleaning might be the last thing on your mind right now. But before you deck the halls or hang the stockings, we encourage you to make an appointment to have your carpets, floors, rugs, and upholstery professionally cleaned. Family and friends will soon be gathering for the holidays. But, even if it’s a small gathering, there are several reasons not to delay a holiday deep clean.

Health

The fibers in your carpets, rugs, window treatments, and upholstery can trap a variety of airborne pollutants, allergens, toxins, and bacteria. While regular vacuuming can help reduce their accumulation, it can’t remove them as thoroughly as a professional carpet cleaning. We all have a heightened awareness of health right now. A deep cleaning will remove dirt and toxins, improve the air quality, and reduce anxiety.

Odors

During the holidays, you want your home to smell of freshly baked treats and balsam fir; not your kiddos spilled milk or your puppy’s latest accident. You might think you cleaned up the messes well, but there’s always a lingering smell until the area is thoroughly and professionally cleaned.

Stubborn Stains

You’re putting a lot of thought and effort into creating a gathering everyone enjoys and appreciates. Don’t let stains and ground-in dirt take center stage. The Rugsies stain removal experts will use all their know-how and specially-designed keep guests focused on your beautiful setting, not your stained carpets. The holidays can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you’re hosting a gathering. Don’t let the cleaning prevent you from enjoying this joyous time of year.

Exactly Why You Should Be Doing Regular Carpet Cleaning

Ahhhh, the feeling of plush carpeting between our toes. According the a national survey by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 92% of homes have a carpet or rug in at least one room. But besides popularity among American homeowners, carpets can attract an array of other things, many of which you don’t want as a house guest. The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) reports that carpets can accumulate 5-25 grams of dust and dirt per square meter of surface area, significantly more than hard flooring options. This can take a toll on those sensitive to allergens and with asthma. Furthermore, within this debris are flakes of human skin, the main food source for dust mites. Once they take residence in your carpets, dust mites are difficult to remove. Moisture and humidity can bring on additional pests, such as mold and fungi. The good news is that, according to NCHH, research has shown that airborne dust levels can actually be lower in carpeted rooms than in non-carpeted rooms due to their ability to hold particles as they settle from the air. However, this was true in scenarios where the flooring was maintained with a consistent cleaning schedule. NCHH goes onto report the importance of intensive carpet cleaning, for it can result in a 50% reduction in airborne fine particles. Vacuuming is a must, but supplemental cleanings can also make a huge difference. Enter South Florida’s top home cleaner, Rugsies, where we employ an advanced HOST® Dry Extraction Cleaning System. We pre-vacuum to capture loose particles before getting into the nitty gritty, using Green Seal Certified solutions in combination with organic HOST® extractor sponges to lift and remove dirt. The process uses minimal liquid, so fibers dry almost immediately to avoid any mildew build-up or dirt re-attraction that would defeat the whole purpose of a good cleaning. All Rugsies carpet cleaning services are environmentally-friendly, meaning they are also safe for your family, including children and pets. Now, that carpet under your feet is really starting to feel good. Rugsies Tip: To ensure the cleanest environment possible, we recommend a professional carpet cleaning every 6 – 12 months, supplemented with regular vacuuming (vacuums with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are preferred according to NCHH).
