Contribution of Washington DC Carpet Cleaning To Health

Do you know your carpet can trap almost eight times the amount of dirt and allergens as its original weight? Most of the people opt for carpet cleaning in Washington DC not for aesthetic pleasure but to improve the health of their family members as well as protect them from possible allergies and diseases that happen due to dirty carpets.

Common health issues associated with dirty carpets

1) Allergies: When you visit a doctor for an allergy treatment, all he/she does is give you some medications and treat the issue. But they won’t go deeper and try to eradicate the source of allergy. Think about it! If you have allergy from a particular food, don’t you avoid eating it? Why don’t you do that with other forms of allergies? That sinus issue is most likely because of a dirty carpet. Eradicate the underlying cause rather than just focusing on treatment.

2) Respiratory problems: Issue like asthma may be genetic, but they may also get triggered due to pet dander or allergens that settle deep into the carpet fibers. Regular vacuuming is often ineffective on such deeply settled particles that cause such issues. Pet dander is a major concern here in pet-loving population of Washington DC, and you should certainly pay attention if you own pets. Mold in carpets is another significant contributor to respiratory diseases. It’s often a result of improper carpet cleaning.

3) Irritation: Many people may develop eye or skin irritations due to dirty carpets. If you have got some rashes on your skin and you can’t figure out what’s causing it, you should begin with the carpets (as well as the upholstery). These are common contributors to skin and eye irritations.
