Healthier Home & Business

Indoor dirt and dust, along with other allergens carried in from outside on the soles of our shoes, builds up over time in our homes and business premises, promoting a less healthy indoor environment.

One of the important benefits of carpeting and other soft furnishings is that they actually trap otherwise air-borne allergens like a filter. (Don't take our word for it, run your hand over your carpet in a well-lit room and see what it releases into the air.) When carpets and soft furnishings are not professionally cleaned regularly, these particles can accumulate.

Independent research recommends carpets be cleaned every six months

Ideally, and particularly in areas with heavy footfall, carpets should be cleaned every six months. However, the method of cleaning that is used can all too often leave a legacy of potential health and hygiene concerns of a different nature.

Some methods of cleaning can leave behind sticky, dirt-attracting residues and may use soaps and detergents with a high PH value, which can cause skin irritation.

Other cleaning methods ''soak' the carpet and then ''suck' the water out. This means the carpet is wet for a long time. As with most other things, the longer a carpet is wet, the more likely it is to produce a strong and unpleasant odour. This is a sure sign that mould and bacteria have already begun to grow.
