If you’ve never cleaned your carpet, it may be covered in dust and grime. Since carpet is covered with woven fibers that can trap small particles, it attracts dirt and dust easily and is a natural breeding ground for mold, fungus, and bad odors. Below are a few health benefits of deep carpet cleaning.

What Are the Health Perks of Deep Carpet Cleaning?

1. Removes Allergens

Dust, dirt, and pollen can thrive in carpets, causing problems like dry, red, itchy eyes, sneezing, and even respiratory distress. However, during the process, hot water is sprayed onto your carpet with cleaners and quickly suctioned away, helping professionals trap and remove allergens. 

2. Eliminates Pollutants

If you allow family members and guests to wear their shoes in your home, they could track oil and even traces of lead into your home. By having pollutants removed, you can improve your air quality, which will benefit those with respiratory issues such as asthma.

3. Prevents Mold Growth 

Mold can start to grow after only 24 to 48 hours, which means deep carpet cleaning is essential after any type of flooding or large spill. During deep carpet cleaning, professionals spray disinfectant cleaners, which can help to inhibit mold growth.

Next, the carpet is suctioned with a powerful handheld tool, eliminating standing water, dirt, mold spores, and other grime from the carpet and the underlying pad. If the ground flooding was significant, professionals can even dry out the carpet and the pad with blowers designed to fit under the edge of the carpet. This entire process helps prevent mold growth, protecting your indoor air quality.
