6 Health Benefits Of Professional Carpet Cleaning

Calling in a carpet cleaner may feel like a luxury, but could actually greatly improve the health of your household. Even if you vacuum your carpet regularly, it will benefit from a professional clean every so often. Here are some of the many ways that expert carpet cleaning can boost your health.

1.   Eliminate dust mites

Dust mites are commonly found in carpets. While they're a normal part of any home, their droppings and bodies can severely impact people with allergies. They aren't visible to the human eye, but the heat of a professional clean can kill them.

2.   Lessen allergy symptoms

As well as removing dust mites, cleaning removes other allergens that have collected in the carpet. This includes dust, pet hair and pollen, which can get ground into your carpet and become difficult to remove. Deep cleaning can help allergy-prone people breathe easy and alleviate their symptoms, improving their quality of life.

3.   Remove pollutants

Your carpet naturally collects all sorts of particles from the air and anyone who walks over it. These particles can be things like dirt, and even things as dangerous as lead. Every time you walk over your carpet, these particles can be spread all over your house. Professional cleaners can properly remove these substances and prevent the harm they could cause.

4.   Sleep better

Cleaner air means better sleep. Polluted air can irritate our airways, cause snoring and obstruct deep breathing. This can lead to interrupted or poor-quality sleep, especially if your bedroom carpet is the source of pollution. Calling in a professional cleaner can help to improve the quality of your sleep.

5.   A better smelling home

A stinky home can impact your mental health. Smells cling to carpets and can be stubborn. Being hit by bad smells as soon as you get home can make you miserable and irritable. By asking a professional cleaner to remove these smells, you can make your home a happier place.

6.   Ensure the appropriate use of cleaning solutions

Not all carpet cleaning solutions are created equally. Professional cleaners know how to select the appropriate cleaning solutions for your carpets – to leave them smelling fresh with no harmful residues.
