Having brand new carpeting installed in your Toronto home may be a great feeling. Maybe you saved up for brand new carpeting for a long time, scrimping and saving, sacrificing certain things you wanted, all to make your home as comfortable as possible.
You circled the date on the calendar for when they would be installed, took off from work, and watched the workers come into and out of your house laying the carpeting, cleaning everything up, and then leaving, allowing you to soak in that wonderful new carpet smell.
For many people, the smell of new carpeting can provide a sense of rejuvenation. After all, you’ve just made a significant investment in improving the condition and quality of your home. You should be proud of that.
However, the smell of new carpeting is not really a pleasant thing. It is a chemical that gets trapped in the carpet when it is rolled up from the factory and shipped out. When the carpet is unrolled, that chemical is being released into the air and will continue to do that for quite some time.
Some people have an aversion to the new carpet smell. Whether you enjoy it or have a distaste for it, it’s a good idea to consider having those brand new carpets professionally cleaned to remove the chemical and ensure safety for yourself, your family, and even your pets. While the chemical in carpeting is not tremendously dangerous, some people might have an allergic reaction to it or it could cause problems in other areas of your life.
It may seem ridiculous to have your brand new carpets professionally cleaned, but when that new smell becomes a nuisance, it’s time to call professionals to help out.
