In the past, carpet cleaning was usually done strictly for appearance. The homeowner or business owner wanted the carpet to look better.

Now scientists and doctors are recognizing that clean carpets contribute to a healthier home or workplace. Your carpet acts like a "sink". It collects and filters almost every spilled material, airborne contaminant or tracked soil that enters into your home or business. Within these "indoor pollutants" are much more than dirt and soil, there are disease causing bacteria and germs, dust mites, dead skin particles, and particulates that can be respiratory irritants. It's good that the carpet collects these contaminants, otherwise they would continue to migrate throughout your home or business.

However, just as you clean other surfaces to make your home or business healthier, you need to clean your carpets too. Professional carpet cleaning using the hot water (steam) extraction method makes significant positive contributions towards removing those contaminants. Here's what Dr. Michael Berry of the United States Environmental Protection Agency says: "Every time carpets and fabrics are emptied of their pollution build-up through professional cleaning methods, there is a health benefit. Cleaning processes that extract pollutants from the environment enhance the quality of the indoor environment by reducing exposure. Cleaning, especially through extraction, improves environmental conditions and health protection."

So from now on, when you think about whether your carpets need cleaning just remember that you'll not only have a cleaner environment, but a healthier one as well.
