Few people are aware of the impact their carpets can have on their health. Many are aware of the serious aesthetic benefits of professional carpet cleaning, like the refreshed aesthetic benefits and new feeling provided to your home. But carpets can also have a big impact on your health. Carpets will overtime become loaded with dirt, grime, bacteria, dust, and other pollutants we track in on our shoes. These can impact air quality, cause allergic reactions, and cause illness.
With Acorn Carpet Cleaning you can ensure your carpet is kept free of this dirt, grime, and bacteria. In this article we’ll discuss the serious health benefits you can derive from using Acorn Carpet Cleaning.
The Benefits
Acorn Carpet Cleaning can do a huge deal to improve your carpets and offer serious health benefits.
Dealing with Dust Mites
Dust mites are a common nuisance in just about any home. They love carpets and rugs, where they can feed on shed skin, food particles and the other debris that are left and gather amongst the fibres. Dust mites are a noticeable allergen; they cause sneezing, itchiness in the eyes and congestion. There’s been suggestions Dust mites might also cause problems for those who suffer from Asthma, Standard hoovering and other methods of amateur cleaning do little to stop Dust mites. A room can host as many as 20,000 of them, and they live deep within carpets.
The deep cleaning methods used by Acorn ensure the Dust mites can be eradicated. Our team makes use of a powerful vacuum industry grade vacuum cleaners and hot water extraction to ensure the best results, which will guarantee you’re on the route to eradicating one of the many allergens that can end up popping up in your home.
Mould
Mould is a serious problem in carpets. The tracking of dirt and moisture into the carpet can result in mould and mildew developing. Not only can this damage the carpet, but mould spores are well known for badly impacting people with pre-existing breathing conditions such as asthma and impacting those without them. It can also result in the development of breathing issues and other illnesses.
Mould is difficult to prevent via traditional cleaning because it often is deeply entrenched in the carpet, and standard methods such as hoovering cannot do a great deal to drag out the mould spores. In some cases, they might even spread them around. As such, if you want to ensure you avoid mould, a good approach is the use of professional carpet cleaners like Acorn.
Acorn’s high-power vacuum will ensure any mould spores are removed while our agitation and hot water extraction will guarantee your carpet is freed of any mould spores.
Get Rid of Pollutants
We track all kinds of dirt, grime, bacteria, and dust into our carpets. These will become rooted in the fibres of the carpet, and overtime be released into the air. These can cause a host of allergic reactions, as well as spread disease. Some of the various materials found in carpets include,
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Dirt
- Dust
- Pet hair
- Bacteria
- Dead skin cells
- Food particles
These will overtime be released from the carpet and enter the air, sometimes taking the form of gasses. All of them can seriously impact allergies, causing sneezing, congestion, irritation and in some cases causing illness and disease. Pollutants can’t easily be removed by normal hoovering or cleaning; indeed, this can make them much worse. They’ll be thrown into the air and spread around. Many normal vacuums will transfer them around a carpet.
Pollutants in particular impact the health of children and the elderly. They cause diseases such as colds, and adults are by no means immune.
The best way to deal with Pollutants is to make use of Acorn’s professional services. Our powerful vacuums, agitation units and hot water extraction methods will quickly ensure any pollutants are removed from your carpet and properly dealt with. This will ensure you are able to cut out a swathe of allergens from your home, as well as helping to increase both your own protection and that of your family from any potential illnesses or diseases.
Mental Health
Another serious benefit of getting your carpet cleaned is the impact on your mental health. It might not seem like a lot, but the experience of having a refreshed, clean carpet can be a huge relief. Studies have shown the condition of your home does a lot for your mental health, and so ensuring your carpet is renewed in such a professional manner can really do wonders for your sense of wellbeing.
