People have a tendency to become sick more often during the winter. This has to do with the necessity of keeping windows and doors closed to keep the cold out and the warmth inside. With these windows and doors closed, it reduces fresh air flowing throughout the house and makes it more likely that bacteria, germs, and other viruses have longer incubation and survival periods.
Cleaning your house more frequently is a good way to stay healthier.
However, just vacuuming, washing the floors, and wiping down the countertops or bathroom surfaces is not enough. You may not realize it but a lot of germs, bacteria, and other foreign contaminants get trapped not just in the heating ducts, radiator systems, and vents, but also carpet fibers.
You could vacuum those carpets every day and still not get everything up. Many of these foreign particulates and materials get embedded in the carpet fibers and become impervious to traditional vacuum suction. However, when people walk over those same areas, they kick up these materials, including dust, dead skin cells that comprise 80 precent of the dust in your house, bacteria, germs, and even viruses into the air where people breathe them in.
If you want to help reduce the risk of colds, allergens, bacteria, germs, and other things affecting the health of you and the rest of your family, have your carpets professionally cleaned. If this hasn’t been done in years, now is the right time to start. You can be at the start of winter or even in the midst of it and still enjoy the benefits of fresh air, clean carpets, and a completely new atmosphere within your home.
If you really want to be particular about the overall health, safety, and cleanliness of your house, this is a good habit to get into (hiring a professional carpet cleaning service regularly).
When was the last time you had your carpets professionally cleaned?
