Studies show that the months between May and August are the most common times for germs to spread throughout the air and within our homes It has also been found through study, that the vacuum cleaner is one of the five places in the home that has the highest number of germs.
Did you know that a person sheds around about 1.5 million skin flakes an hour, which most of the time becomes embedded in our carpets! Properly cleaned and maintained carpets may prevent the risk of germs remaining in the carpet.
Another common virus is gastroenteritis which causes vomiting & diarrhea. Aside from washing hands, cleaning carpets will also assist in limited the spread of this virus. Our Hot Water Extraction method is used in our Gold Coast Schools, Surgeries and Hospitals for this very reason.
It has been proven that hot water extraction can reduce the risk of germs lurking in carpets and reduce the spread of viruses, such as the influenza, from spreading and taking over our immune system. Hot water extraction uses high water temperatures and combined with other special techniques, which our fully trained carpet cleaning technicians is fully aware, not only improve the appearance of your carpet but also make it more hygienic.
All carpet should be professionally cleaned a minimum of every 12 to 18 months. If your home is left closed up for long periods of time, carpet can become heavily infested with mites. Regular carpet maintenance can prevent bugs and mites from causing those annoying allergies and leaves your home dust free and germ free.
What is an allergy?
