Did you know that according to research, carpets are one of the largest flooring segments in the world? Carpet is a lifestyle, carpet is luxury. People love to buy them and decorate their houses with them because they look amazing, complement their houses, and even keep warm and give a cozy feeling in the cold, dark weather.
Why Do Carpets Need To Be Cleaned?
Carpet cleaning is very important, no matter how good quality or expensive carpet you choose to buy. Here are a few reasons why:
Bacterial Deposition Can Happen
Carpets are very finely woven and this causes bacteria to survive inside them and embed deep in the fibres. This bacteria can survive on the carpet for many weeks. It also multiplies at a high rate and the deposition rate is quite high. Hence, it is extremely important for carpets to be regularly cleaned.
Allergens Can Make Their Way Inside Carpets
Not just bacteria, carpets also trap dust, pollen among other materials which can cause allergy problems in people. This is especially harmful to people who are asthmatic or are more prone to getting allergies.
Dead Skin: Ughh!
Did you know that humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour? That is a LOT of dead skin! Even though this is actually good for you, it is definitely not good for the carpet! Or for anyone else sitting on it. They may actually be lying on dead skin. Gross!
Capacity To Hold Dirt
Carpets can hold in a lot of dirt which is not good for you or for them and can give way to many different diseases and health problems.
The Carpet And Rug Institute states that one square foot of carpet can hold up to one pound of dirt, and all this will probably be invisible. Isn't that scary? Almost every day oily residue is brought in by you and your family and possibly your pets. It dries onto the carpet and makes it easy for the carpet to hold in dirt due to the oily, greasy surface. This can even cause your carpet to change its colour sometimes. Yuck!
Carpets Can Be Stained Easy
Carpets stain a lot and that is normal. It is no one’s fault. When you live in a house you are bound to drop food or drink stains on the carpet. Many people have kids and pets. Kids usually tend to drop a lot of foodstuff and juices on their carpets. And pets? Well, we all know how pets work. Even after you train them, it is highly likely they will put their dirty paws on the carpet or spill their food on them. The stains could be a lot of types, such as:
Fat and oil-based
These could be due to lipstick, cooking oil or food products such as butter. You could feel your carpet go oily or waxy.
Water-based
These could be caused by beverages, sodas, or fruity items. The carpet will feel watery and sticky.
Protein-based
Meat, blood and dairy products could cause these stains. These stains feel very watery and get darker by using hot water to clean them.
