While many people know the benefits of Carpet Cleaning for your home’s aesthetics, many aren’t aware of the serious health benefits that can be offered. In this article, we’ll discuss the serious benefits to your health offered by Acorn carpet cleaning services.
Carpets hold a huge number of Pollutants
Carpets are an amazing environment for pollutants to gather in. If a carpet isn’t provided with regular maintenance and professional cleaning, it will end up hiding a wide range of airborne gases and pollutants.
Some of the common pollutants found in a carpet include,
- Dust mite and Cockroach allergens
- Dust
- Dander
- Bacteria
- Animal/Pet Dander
- Pollen
- Soil and Dirt
- Mould spores
Pollutant’s overtime will be released into the air of your home. From here will worsen the quality of the air and create an odour, but they’ll also spread allergens and disease around your home. Children and the elderly are impacted by these gasses and particles.
Standard cleaning can’t do much to remove pollutants from your carpets; commercially available hoovers struggle to pull the pollutants from the fibres and will never be able to dislodge the full range of dirt and bacteria. While it’s always good to hoover regularly, it cannot deal with the problem properly.
The best approach is to make use of Acorn Professional Carpet cleaning. Acorn Glasgow makes use of high-quality industry standard vacuums, agitators, biodegradable sprays, and hot water extraction to ensure your carpet is kept properly clean of any Pollutants. This will ensure,
- An increase in air quality in your home
- Avoidance of Disease spread by Germs and Bacteria in the carpet.
- Less exposure to gasses, dust, and allergens
These are serious health benefits, especially in the long term.
Getting Rid of Dust Mites and other Allergens
As already noted, cleaning is a great way to handle allergens.
Allergens come in a range of forms. Common allergens are pollen and animal hairs, which cause sneezing, irritation to the eyes and face, and in the worst cases respiratory problems. Dust is another serious allergen. While it might not be obvious, carpets are filled with these things, and will release them into the air of your home.
As many as 20,000 Dust mites can fill a room. Dust mites are microscopic and feed on dead skin and other debris we leave, and are a potent allergen, causing sneezing, irritation to the face and nose, and potentially causing issues to those with asthma or other respiratory issues.
By getting rid of these allergens, you’ll see a reduction in annoying allergic reactions.
Removing allergen particles is hard via traditional cleaning; not only do standard hoovers struggle to properly pull them free from the carpet but they can potentially disrupt them and spread them through the air.
Acorn cleaning has all the technology and equipment necessary to clear out allergens. Our high-power vacuum, agitator machines, and hot water extraction techniques will guarantee your carpets fibres are left clear of any of these
Carpet Cleaning can stop Mould
Mould isn’t uncommon in carpets; spills, food and moisture can end up spurring the development of mould and mould spores in your carpet.
Exposure to mould can cause a range of serious issues, including both allergic reactions (which include serious fever like symptoms, rashes, sneezing and irritated eyes) and respiratory illness. Mould is an extremely common allergen.
Preventing Mould in a carpet will require more than standard cleaning; while it’s important to regularly clean your carpet and handle any spills that do occur, the fact is that standard cleaning equipment simply can’t guarantee the removal of Mould spores or the prevention of Mould Development.
The limited vacuum ability of standard hoovers and the potential of other equipment to spread the spores can cause real worries. The longer that Mould spores are left, the far higher the chance that Mould will develop.
Acorn Carpet Cleaning on the other hand can provide you with an extensive deep clean which can help to rid you of mould spores and prevent the development of mould and mould related health issues.
A Mental Health Benefit
A dirty carpet can often have a serious impact on your mental health, with a negative impact on your perception of your home and loss of a sense of comfort.
Studies have shown that an improvement to the condition of your carpet and its appearance can have a serious positive effect on your overall mental health. The renewed, brand new, and ‘fresh’ look of the carpet can inspire a greater sense of confidence and comfort in your home. While you can help your sense of well-being via regular ‘normal’ cleaning, it won’t compare to the quality of a job provided by a deep carpet clean by acorn.
