We live in a very germ-conscious society, one that admires cleanliness. A lot of us take extra precautions to keep our home and ourselves clean. Most of us change our bed sheets frequently, wipe the kitchen counters, dust off our furniture, and in general, appear to have a relatively clean home. But despite the work we put into having tidy homes, many of us unknowingly expose ourselves to hidden health hazards—health hazards that happen to be right below our feet.

Did you know that most homes’ carpeting contains more bacteria per square inch than the toilet? While the surface of our carpets may look clean, in reality, most carpets contain dirt, bugs, dust mites, molds, allergens and other potentially unsafe pollutants. These hidden lurkers—the ones that aren’t so easy to spot—can run rampant on the floors we congregate on. For example, if not properly cleaned, dirt blown in from an open window, food spills, or animal accidents, can leave unwanted microscopic particles and residues deep within our plush carpeting.  Vacuuming cannot remove these pollutants.

So how do we get our carpets to match the rest of our clean house? Well, regularly vacuuming is always a good start, as long as you remember to occasionally change the filter. But vacuuming isn’t enough. To rid your carpets of these pesky contaminants, invest in a professional carpet-cleaning.

Getting you carpet professionally cleaned is much more effective than vacuuming. It is both the safest and fastest option to keep your carpet at peak performance. Deep-cleaning your carpet lays the foundation for a hygienic and spotless floor. Vacuuming your carpet is then a good practice for maintaining that original deep cleanse. While it depends on the cleaning methods and products you choose, carpet manufacturers recommended that you have your carpet professionally cleaned using hot water extraction (steam cleaning) every 12 to 18 months.  Anything less and you run the risk of voiding your carpets warranty.
