CARPET CLEANING
In order to keep your carpets looking new and to protect them from sand, dirt, and debris that break down the fibers many carpet manufacturers insist that their products be cleaned with HOT WATER EXTRACTION on a regular basis for texture retention, and to maintain the carpet’s warranty status.
To maintain your carpets to the level that it contributes to “indoor air quality,” (IAQ) the carpet industry and the EPA suggest that carpets are cleaned every 12 months. Carpets that are cleaned less often can be harder to effectively clean, because of set in stains and continued attraction of sand, dirt and particles that wear your fibers.
In studies conducted by the EPA and other European nations it has been found that carpet helps to improve IAQ. The carpet acts as a filter that helps to trap the particles that are floating around all of our homes (hard floor surfaces do not have this filtering affect). This is a good thing for all of us that have carpet in our homes; the problem comes when we think we do not have to clean our carpets. Carpeting is cleaned for two reasons.
• FOR APPEARANCE
• FOR HEALTH
EPA studies have proven that the indoor environment of many homes are more polluted then the outdoor environment.
Just as we wash our cloths, our sheets, our counters, and our floors we also need to clean our carpets. Unfortunately, many people do not have their carpets cleaned because they mistakenly think that their carpets are not dirty or pose no health risks.
Poor IAQ amplifies the anguish of people that have allergies to dust, fungi, dust mite feces/exoskeletons, environmental tobacco smoke, and animal hair/dander. In some cases, very poor IAQ can result in decreased lung capacity, and possible cardiovascular problems. Respiratory problems in children under the age of five have been traced to poor IAQ.
Anything that filters the air we breathe needs to be cleaned from time to time and carpet is no exception. No one would sleep in a bed for two or more years without changing the sheets. Fortunately, most of us don’t sleep on our carpet, but we do have children that play on carpet, we walk on our carpet, we sit in the room with our carpet, and we spend most of our day at home.
Did you know that much of the debris and microorganisms in your carpets are carried in on your shoes? Thousands of bacteria’s and microorganisms cannot be seen by the naked eye. Up until recently many people use to ignore these health hazards, but in this contentious society health oriented individuals are taking another look at what they bring into their homes around themselves or around their children. Our carpets are no exception the bottom line is our shoes carry vomit, feces, chemicals, pesticides, lead and many other unwanted hazards. That is why it is so important to maintain a regular carpet cleaning restoration process to ensure your family is protected from unwanted health hazards, and your carpets are protected from damage, build up and fiber breakdown.
Only with HOT WATER EXTRACTION can the carpet receive the deep cleaning it needs to bring about positive health benefits, cleaning that will maintain the costumer’s warranty, and give the carpet a long and fresh looking appearance. There are other cleaning methods such as absorbent compound, absorbent pad or bonnet, dry foam, shampoo cleaning, and store rentals. The problem with these other methods is that they are only an interim method of cleaning, and at times can cost more than a professional using HOT WATER EXTRACTION. No matter what you are told by the companies that offer these services you should check with the carpet manufacturer to confirm that their cleaning method will not violate your warranty. You as a customer should always talk with the manufacturer for warranty issues and policies.
A professional should be able to identify your carpet fiber (what your carpet is made out of). Then and only then will they be able to clean your carpet with the proper cleaning agents. One product does not work for all carpet styles and types. Your professional should also be an approved IICRC carpet cleaning technician.
