How Carpet Cleaning Can Prevent Your Family From Getting Sick

Avoid Placing Wall-to-Wall Carpeting in Certain Spots

Damp areas are breeding grounds for mold. Instead of wall-to-wall carpeting, pick an area rug for the spots in your home that possibly hold a large amount of moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, or basements. Try to avoid placing them in rooms of people with allergies or asthma.

Consider a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Vacuum for Carpet Cleaning

As mentioned before, it is highly recommended that you deep clean your carpets every six months to one year. Depending on the kind of carpet and its thickness, it’s recommended that you pass the vacuum over the carpet several times or at least one minute per square yard. HEPA vacuums have special filters that help reduce dust, so make sure to replace the filter as directed for the best possible results. Hydro Clean & Certified Restoration will use truck-mounted state of the art equipment, high-end detergent, and a hot water extraction method for carpet cleaning. This outstanding combination will leave your carpets beautiful and clean.

Take Note Of Unusual Smells Within Your Home

A musty, disgusting odor around your home could be a sign of mold. Mold can live within your walls, basements, insulation… and underneath your carpets. Indoor mold can create health problems. If you suspect any mold issues, take action immediately to have it checked out and removed by an expert so you can take steps to protect your family’s health.

Replace Worn Carpets in Your Home

One of the simplest carpet cleaning solutions – remove any old carpets with lots of irritant buildup. This is the easiest course of action for older carpets.
