Carpet Cleaning for Your Health

When someone is diagnosed with indoor allergies, one of the first things he’s probably told to do is to remove any wall-to-wall carpeting in the house. It’s true that carpeting traps allergens, but let’s take another look at this view.

Just what is an indoor allergen and where does it come from? The things most likely to make you sneeze and wheeze are pollen, household dust, dust mites, pieces of cockroach carcasses, chemicals, mold spores, dried food particles, clothing and bedding fibers, soil tracked in from the outdoors, pet dander, and dead human skin cells. Yuck! Unless you walk around in a plastic bubble, you can’t avoid all of them. Every time you walk outside to go to work or school, you bring at least some of these allergens into your home with you.

You might think with good reason that hard-surface floors are easier to keep clean because you can actually see the dirt you just cleaned up. Take a look at the dust drifting through a sunbeam right after you’ve swept the floor. That stuff floats around until it settles back on to the floor and furniture. When you walk across the floor, you disturb the dust and it starts floating around again where you breathe it in. That’s not allergen-free living, is it?

If you’ve ever fallen off a bike or if you are middle-aged, you probably know that gravity isn’t your friend. If you have allergies, sometimes gravity can work in your favor, though. Gravity causes allergens to settle back to the floor. Here’s the beauty of carpeted flooring. Carpeting is actually the biggest filtration device in your house. Dirt and allergens settle into the carpeting fibers where they remain trapped and can’t drift around.

All those yucky things we mentioned above are now trapped in your carpeting. Daily vacuuming is your best friend in removing some allergens from your indoor environment, as long as you take the vacuum outdoors to clean it afterward. Otherwise, you’re recontaminating your house with all the dust that puffs out of the filters and bags. Most household vacuums don’t have enough suction to pull everything out of your carpeting. Periodically, you’re going to need to bring in a hired gun, a professional carpet cleaning NJ service.

You already have enough problems with indoor air quality. You don’t want to add to them by using a carpet-cleaning service that depends on toxic cleaning solutions to do the work.

Step one. Give and purge mags and books you haven’t read or do not need. If you subscript to a book club or have various magazine subscriptions, ask the following questions. Am I reading the material? Am I able to do without the subscriptions? Is the magazine/book accessible online? When was the last time I actually sat down and read a magazine or book?

Step two. Start cleansing and donating undesired VHS, DVD’s, tapes, etc . Do invest in a strong unit to provide housing for the items you are keeping. Do not forget to group and alphabetize them.
