Carpet Cleaning in Carpinteria

You may have seen recent national news reports on how mold, mildew, and other bacteria are growing indoors and making people sick. Carpeting is often cited as a source for these harmful contaminants. While dirty carpeting can be a fertile home for indoor-air contaminants, clean carpet can have just the opposite effect. In fact, well-maintained carpet can actually help keep the indoor air you breathe healthy! Do your part and get a quality carpet cleaning in Carpinteria!

Here’s how it works. Indoor air contaminants naturally settle on the floor. As they do your carpet acts like a trap for allergens and bacteria. Similar to the way your car’s air filter traps dust and dirt, your carpet filters air pollutants from the air you breathe. And just like your car’s air filter needs to be changed to remain effective, your carpet needs to be cleaned regularly to continue filtering your indoor air.

To keep the indoor air your family breathes healthy, and to help alleviate allergy symptoms, follow these steps…

Change your HVAC filter on a regular basis.
Keep humidity at 60% or below.
Vacuum floor coverings regularly with a vacuum equipped with a high-filtration bag. (See related article in this issue.)
Spot clean spills promptly.
Have mold and mildew removed immediately.
Have all your carpeting professionally cleaned annually. (More often if you have small children or allergy sufferers in your home.)
