We all know the struggle of maintaining a clean home environment. Between managing a career, raising a family, or just living life, it’s easy to fall behind on basic house chores like washing the dishes or vacuuming the rug.

However, even the most proficient cleaners occasionally need a little help from professionals. After all, some types of household chores can’t be completed entirely by yourself. For example, though you may vacuum the rug every other day, a storebought vacuum can only do so much to keep your floors germ-free. In fact, without professional carpet cleaning, your rug could actually be harmful to your health:

To further prove why professional carpet cleaning is so important, here are three ways carpet cleaning services can benefit your health:

1. Mold Prevention

Mold is a common household infestation, yet few homeowners realize they have a mold problem until it has become severe. Mold thrives in warm, moist environments, and an unclean carpet can be the perfect breeding ground for this fungus. High presence of mold spores in your home’s air can cause health problems for anyone, but those with allergies or asthma will likely suffer negative mold-related symptoms even more. Unfortunately, regular vacuuming can’t always prevent mold growth. To keep your home free of allergens, keep your carpet free of mold with hot water extraction performed by professional carpet cleaners.

2. Allergen Maintenance

Mold isn’t the only substance that can contaminate your carpet and trigger allergic reactions. Dust mites, pollen, and pet dander can all build in a carpet’s fibers and worsen your home’s air quality. Pet dander is particularly troublesome; about 5-10% of Americans are allergic to pet dander, and homes are often considered high-dander environments. While regular vacuuming can certainly reduce pet dander in your carpets, professional carpet cleaners use steam cleaning equipment that can thoroughly eliminate dander and pet odors. If you want to keep your home free of allergens, consider hiring professionals to get the most common culprits out of your rug.

3. Less Physical Strain Than DIY Deep-Cleaning

Finally, deep-cleaning a carpeted home can take several hours and a considerable amount of labor. For individuals with joint troubles or other physical conditions, regular vacuuming and at-home deep cleaning can be both exhausting and dangerous. Save yourself the strain of moving furniture and hauling cleaning equipment by hiring professionals to do the work for you.

Without a doubt, professional carpet cleaning is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy and clean home environment. Hire carpet cleaners to breathe easier in a home free of allergens, and to rest easier knowing the hard work has been handled by the experts.
