Many people are aware of the aesthetic benefits of professional carpet cleaning – a renewed look for your home and a reinvigorated appearance when it comes to your carpet. But few people are aware of the serious health benefits that come with carpet cleaning.
Acorn Carpet Cleaning has been working in the industry for years and has extensive experience providing service to a huge range of clients. In this article, we’ll discuss the kind of health benefits which can be derived from a professional carpet cleaning service by our team.
The causes of Indoor Pollution
Indoor Air Pollution is the by-product of a range of contaminants. These include,
- Food
- Bacteria
- Dust
- Dust
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Dead Skin cells
These will always be found in our homes. They’re the by-product of our everyday habits, and sometimes result from us tracking them into the house on our shoes or clothes. These then become trapped in fabrics, linens, and most important – our carpets. Overtime they’ll manage to escape the carpet and float in the air. All of these are allergens, and as such can cause effects like,
- Sneezing
- Congestion
- Irritation to the eyes and nose
- Issues with breathing
If you have any kind of respiratory allergies, these can be seriously impacted by the presence of allergens and particles in the air.
In some cases, these can also spread disease, such as colds. The bacteria that are trapped in carpets is especially a problem for both young children and the elderly (as their immune systems aren’t as robust as those of adults).
Carpets will rapidly fill up with these particles. Dust is especially prevalent in carpets, and many people are unaware of just how much is in a carpet. This isn’t to mention the huge number of dust mites or pollen to be found, or the build-up of bacteria that occurs. We often take the cleanness of a carpet at face value, and regular hoovering can ensure a carpet maintains a clean appearance. But much of the dirt, grime and other particles that fill the air are found in the fibres and cannot be seen.
Professional Carpet Cleaning Can Handle It
Regular cleaning can only do so much – and while it’s important you keep up with regular hoovering and ensure stains are quickly cleaned up, the best way to approach carpet cleaning is using professional carpet cleaning provided by Acorn.
Acorn Carpet Cleaning can offer a range of serious benefits when it comes to your health. Our treatment involves the use of powerful vacuums and other techniques which will ensure,
Good Air Quality
One of the biggest issues with domestic and commercial vacuums is that they cannot reach the deepest layers of the carpet, where much of the contaminants lie. Because of this, vacuuming via traditional methods will rarely help to improve your homes air quality which is so often badly impacted by the dirt and dust in your carpet.
Acorn Carpet Cleaning makes use of a powerful vacuum which will drag the contaminants right out of the carpet, while our use of an agitator and biodegradable sprays will make sure any dirt or grime is properly pulled out of the carpet and from the fabrics. This will help to guarantee an excellent air quality in your home, and free the air of any unpleasant particles or pollutants.
Handling Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic insects not dissimilar to fleas. Many people are completely unaware of the presence of Dust mites in their homes.
Dust mites are an allergen and can cause a range of allergic reactions. This includes sneezing, irritation to the eyes and nose, and there’s been suggestions that they may worsen asthma.
Dust mites are difficult to remove by normal means of cleaning as they infest the deepest parts of a carpet. But Acorn Carpet Cleaning’s industrial standard vacuums, hot water extraction and agitation technology will guarantee the Dust mites are handled.
Cutting out Pollutants
Standard cleaning methods will struggle to remove pollutants such as Bacteria, Dust, Bacteria, Dirt, and Pollen. It can help cut down the amount, but it will never fully remove in. In some cases, commercially available vacuums and cleaning products can cause a worse spread of the Pollutants in the air.
Acorn Glasgow can perform extensive, deep cleans that will see Bacteria, Dust, Dirt, Pollen, Dust mites and other toxic gasses and pollutants pulled out of your carpet and not freed into the air itself. This is accomplished via our use of powerful industrial quality vacuums, hot water extraction and other techniques that ensure the trapped pollutants are safely removed.
