There are hundreds of thousands of people just in the Greater Toronto Area who spend a significant amount of their time focused on improving their health and quality of life. They might go to the gym, eat healthy every meal, exercise regularly, and also focus on keeping their home environment clean.
When you’re talking about indoor air quality, there is certainly a direct link between cleanliness and improved air quality. For those homeowners who don’t clean on a regular basis, it increases the amount of dust, allergens, and other air pollutants that get into the air on a regular basis.
For example, if you don’t vacuum your carpeting consistently, at least once a week, every time you or somebody else in your household walks on that carpeting they are stirring up the particulates that get caught in the fibers. If you don’t dust the shelves, picture frames, trinkets and other mementos, windowsills, ceiling fans, and more, all of that dust, all of those allergens, all of that bacteria that is sitting there gets stirred up.
When it gets stirred up into the air the next thing that will happen is you begin breathing it in. While the human body is designed to help trap most of these external air particulates, keeping them from entering the lungs, some will get past the body’s line of defenses.
That can affect health in many ways. It can also lead to the development of certain allergies.
It’s important to clean on a consistent and regular basis, but it’s also important to consider professional carpet cleaning services at least twice a year. Just because you vacuum once a week doesn’t mean those carpets are getting cleaned as well as they look or that you think. The carpet fibers can trap a significant percentage of the dust and other particulates that settle on them. Using water, high-powered, truck mounted equipment is the only way to truly ensure that your entire house is clean, as long as you focus on every other aspect as well.
