It’s easy to forget about carpets because they collect dust directly under our feet. Anyone who has looked for Carpet Cleaning North Shore probably knows this all too well, maybe because they saw a dust bunny that was as big as a small animal. But let’s look at it more closely. Carpets do more than merely make our steps softer. They attract dust, pollen, pet hair, mold spores, and whatever else the wind (or your kids) bring inside. So, what do those soft surfaces do to the air you breathe in your home? Find out more information here!

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that indoor air can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. Carpets are like sponges that soak up all kinds of pollutants. This is good because it keeps them from floating around, but it’s also bad. As time goes on, these particles build up, and every time you walk, shuffle, or playfully fall, they go back into the air. It’s like confetti that you can’t see, but it’s not as much fun.

The moisture in the air on the North Shore can speed up the growth of mold and germs in carpet fibers. That “musty” scent you occasionally notice? It’s not only in your mind. Your carpet is a clue that some undesirable guests are living there. Studies by groups like the American Lung Association demonstrate that dirty carpets are really bad for your lungs, especially if you have asthma, allergies, or a weak immune system.

Even the greatest vacuum cleaners can’t get rid of everything that’s firmly embedded in carpet fibers, but regular vacuuming can help. Small particles, dirt, and tiny allergens can often get through the cracks. That’s why it’s best to deep steam clean your home at least once or twice a year. Hot water extraction goes deeper than vacuums can, cleaning the carpet completely. Not doing this step is like brushing your teeth without flossing for families, pet owners, and people with allergies. Important things get left behind.
