How Carpet Cleaning Reduces Asthma and Allergies
Research shows we spend nearly 80 percent of our time indoors which means that indoor air quality is of the utmost importance.
Many urban legends state that carpet reduces indoor air quality, but the facts support quite the opposite in that carpet is better for indoor air quality because it acts as a filter by trapping allergens and keeping them out of the breathing zone. In fact, there is no scientific study linking the rise of allergies and asthma to the use of carpet.
If you have carpet in your home, keeping it clean is the best way to eliminate the negative effects of allergens.
Vacuuming is the simplest and most effective way to remove dirt and allergens from carpet. In fact, 90 to 95% of all dry soil by weight can be removed from carpet by following a routine vacuuming schedule.
Another imperative in improving indoor air quality is a regular deep carpet cleaning.
A deep carpet clean every 12-18 months by a professional carpet cleaning company will renew the look of carpet by removing the deepest dirt. Companies like the Carpet Doctor use equipment that effectively removes soil to get carpet looking like new.
If you’re committed to improving indoor air quality in your home, choosing carpet and choosing to clean it is the best way to accomplish this.
