Health Hazards Caused By Unclean Carpets

A carpet is a thick woven fabric often used to cover the floor or stairs. It not only insulates the cold concrete floor but also adds a cozy and homely space to the entire room.

But often, the professional Carpet Cleaning Melbourne is neglected partially due to the tedious process and due to the absence of knowledge about the health hazards brought forth by an unclean carpet.

Risks of a Dirty Carpet:-

Even though a carpet "appears" to be clean, it can host a number of microbes, fungi and bacteria harmful for health. The untreated mold and dust can cause respiratory diseases, skin infections, allergies, and can overall weaken one's immune system. If a carpet is damp, then it provides a hospitable environment for the growth of molds and when inhaled, it causes some serious pulmonary diseases. Living in this flea infested carpet area can also cause mental anguish and disrupt the clarity of thoughts. And such an individual will not only fall sick due to the repercussions of this dirty carpet but will also transmit other infectious diseases to others. If proper cleaning of carpet is neglected, then it can harbor more germs than a toilet seat. Another interesting thing is that, a category of virus called "Norovirus" can survive in a carpet for about 4-6 weeks causing air borne diseases and stomach flu.

Vacuuming :-

It is the basic carpet cleaning method one can do at home but it is not an effective solution as it only cleans the surface materials and does not provide an extensive deep cleaning. In this method, the chances of immediately returning microbes is quite high due to the lack of in-depth cleaning. This method is also not efficient in cleaning stains which would otherwise get cleaned by other methods like steaming easily.

Professional Cleaning :-

This is the best alternative of carpet cleaning as it not only involves deep cleaning using efficient chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and synthetic resins  but also sanitizes the entire carpet preventing the microbes from further housing there. Thus, it ensures the proper sanitisation and increases the longevity of carpet by restoring the essential fibers making up the carpet. This small investment of professional carpet cleaning saves the money and energy spent in buying a new carpet. Not only that but it also improves the  look of a carpet by adding a shine to it. Many companies nowadays provide such services at a very minimal cost since the demand for them has increased in the  past few years due to people's awareness about good hygiene and health.

Duration of Cleaning :- 

Ideally, the carpet should be daily cleaned by a vacuum to get rid of pet furs, small debris, dust and other unwanted materials. One should have the carpet professionally cleaned at least thrice a year to restore it's shine and kill any harmful germs, microbes, fungi and bacteria. This procedure should not be neglected as a clean surrounding brings forth a good physical and mental well-being around an individual.
