Vacuuming alone is not enough!

If your home or office has carpet, you probably do a pretty good job keeping it clean by vacuuming...or so you think.

While vacuuming removes dirt that is embedded within the carpet fibers, it doesn't fully remove the debris. Because dust and other particles are typically not visible to the naked eye, they tend to not only embed themselves into the carpet but also fall below the carpet, making it even harder to reach by vacuuming.

Before you go out and purchase or rent a carpet cleaner, know that while the job you do will provide immediate visual results, the deep rooted stains will eventually reappear on the surface, causing you to have to re-clean your carpets every couple months. This is because the carpet cleaners that you can rent are available to use with only certain types of solutions that are not as heavy duty as the ones used by professionals.

It's Just Carpet, How Can Cleaning It Make Me Healthier?

Regardless of what type of carpet you have, it is harboring dirt, debris and bacteria. This causes you and your family or your co-workers to have not only poor air quality within your home or office, but it also can cause allergies in otherwise healthy individuals. If you already suffer from allergies, a carpet that is not properly maintained will cause your allergies to flare up continuously.

While religious vacuuming does help eliminate some of the obvious tracked in dirt, it does not fully remove all microscopic particles. It is not uncommon for mold to be growing under the carpet. Unfortunately, even daily vacuuming cannot remove the mold. Having a proper carpet maintenance routine with a carpet professional allows you to live or work with the carpet in your home or office without it affecting your health. This maintenance includes not only vacuuming but utilizing professional water and/or steam cleaning as well.

Below are some common types of bacteria and debris that can live within your carpet fibers as well as how effective vacuuming vs. water/steam cleaning are on removing those allergens.
