Five Reasons to Have Your Rugs Cleaned Regularly

1. When properly cleaned and maintained, carpeting may improve the quality of air through trapping allergy-inducing dust and allergens. Most people, however, do not clean their carpets correctly, which can actually exacerbate allergies.

2. Carcinogens in cigarettes may accumulate in household carpet. Because dogs and cats, not to mention children and infants, spend a great deal of time on the floor, they may be at risk for developing lung cancer in households with cigarette smokers.

3. The five-second rule is a myth: bacteria can live after four weeks on carpet. And, thanks to "microbial adhesion", germs such as the following are immediately transferred to food: Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter, and Salmonella enteritis, a nasty bacterium that causes horrible diarrhoea and vomiting.

4. Bed bugs can live in carpet fibres and wooden floorboards. For their size, they are extremely fast and can crawl more than 100 feet to obtain a blood meal, usually at night from people who are sleeping. Engorgement takes about 3 to 10 minutes yet people rarely realize they are being bitten.

5. Microbiologists have identified air blown from a running vacuum cleaner as one of the five places in the home that has the highest numbers of germs. Other places include dish sponges, washing machines, bathroom toilets during a flush, and kitchen trash cans

Let's face it your carpet is the biggest filter in your home. Everything from soil, dust, pollen, fungus, mould spores, oils, chemicals, toxins, bacteria, smoke residue, and foodstuffs can be found in your carpet. Like any good filter your carpet gets full and needs cleaning.
