No matter if you’re seeking out residential cleaning or janitorial services in the greater Boston, MA area, anyone with a carpet could benefit from professional carpet cleaning. Echo Cleaning wants our customers to know about what exactly lives in their carpets and why it matters:
Pollen, dust mites, and dust are invisible to the naked eye but exist within your carpets both at home and in an office. These organisms contribute to allergy symptoms, which nearly 40% of Americans suffer from, according to the National Center for Healthy Housing. Symptoms include respiratory problems, skin irritation, and watery eyes.
Bacteria and viruses can live up to four weeks in a carpet and contain around 200,000 particles per square inch. Therefore, your carpet is actually far dirtier than even your toilet seat! If you find your family is sick for weeks at a time, they may be struggling to fight off the illness due to a dirty carpet!
Whether you’ve invested in certain types of traditional steam carpet cleaning that uses gallons of water or your carpet has been exposed to excessive humidity, there is a good chance that mold has begun to grow in areas you are unable to see. Mold often presents itself as allergy symptoms to those who are impacted by it.
Did you know that nearly 75% of Americans admit to walking around their home with their shoes on? Not only are they tracking in the elements from outside, but they are also being ground into the carpet with every step, which damages the color of the carpet and can significantly impact its integrity.
Even though we don’t want to think about it, the human body sheds 1.6 pounds of dead skin every year. Dead skin contains oils, dirt, and sweat, which are then forced into your carpet’s fibers. Additionally, dust mites feed on the dead skin cells in your carpet, which helps them reproduce and spread.
Fortunately, our team is here to provide professional carpet cleaning and other services for your business or home. We would love to work with you and improve your living environments, one service at a time.
