4 Myths You May Believe Regarding Professional Commercial Carpet Cleaning in Kirkland, WA
by Whiteshark Media White Shark MediaMany homes here in the Kirkland area have
carpets. This means yours probably does. Do you think much about your carpets?
Probably not. There are a lot of other things around your home that need
attention! Unless you take the time to do research, you may believe some common
myths, misconceptions, and non-truths. Have you ever heard or thought any of
the following?
#1 Your
carpet is clean if it looks clean.
Sorry- no! Carpets can hide one pound of dirt
for every square three feet and still appear clean. Plus, the average carpet
contains about 200,000 bacteria per square inch, making it much more
germ-filled than even a toilet seat. Toilet seats are smooth, sealed surfaces
that get cleaned and disinfected regularly, so while you may think they’re
disgusting they actually are pretty clean. Your carpet, on the other hand, may
go years with germs, bacteria, and bugs before you get professional commercial carpet cleaning in Kirkland, WA.
#2
Germs only live on hard surfaces, like doorknobs. Germs
and viruses live in your carpet and can stay there, waiting to make your and
your family sick. Have you heard of the Norovirus? It is a very contagious
virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. It can live for up to two weeks in
carpet, even regularly vacuumed carpeting. The good news is that getting
carpets professionally steam cleaned at a temperature of at least 158° F for
five minutes or 212° F for one minute has been shown to completely kill off Norovirus.
This is just one example! You can’t wash the carpet like you wash your hands,
but you can hire a professional cleaning team!
#3 Dust
is on shelves and books, not the floor. While dust
mites will gladly set up shop anywhere you allow them to, they are particularly
fond of carpets due to their favorite foods being there (skin cells!) and the
fact that you don’t wash it as often as other items around your home. If anyone
in your home has a dust mite allergy, it can be anywhere from uncomfortable to dangerous
to let them fill your carpets.
#4
Carpets get dirty, which means having carpet in your home is dirty.
Actually the opposite is true! Carpeting is
actually one of the most powerful natural air filters, trapping dirt, dust, and
germs in their fibers. This is great news for your lungs, as long as you make
sure your carpet then gets cleaned. Don’t let it catch all of that tiny debris
and hold onto it. Just like you change your HVAC filters, get your carpets deep
cleaned in order to avoid breathing all of that in.
Vacuuming regularly on your own is not a sufficient way to deal with germs, dirt, and dust trapped in your carpets. Even the most powerful personal vacuums struggle to extract dirt and germs from the base of carpet fibers. You need to bring in the best commercial carpet cleaning in Kirkland, WA!
