Safe-Dry Carpet Cleaning, a Tennessee carpet cleaning company, recently released a blog listing the top health risks hidden in carpets. The professional carpet cleaning company recommends regular cleanings to ensure that your carpets are not harboring some of these invisible but damaging health risks.

Carpeting is an excellent way to give your home a warm, cozy feeling. It can add color to otherwise neutral rooms, make the room feel warmer on a cool day, and instantly make your home feel more elegant and new. They also act as air filters in the house, helping trap dirt and bacteria for cleaner air in your home. This means that carpets should be regularly cleaned, just like any other type of air filter. However, many homeowners are unaware of this task, and their carpets can therefore collect an unhealthy amount of dirt and other contaminants that should be regularly removed.

Your carpet is likely hiding a great deal of dirt and sandy soil, which can tear your carpet apart and diminish is purifying capabilities. Walking on the carpet in shoes further grinds soil into the carpet, worsening the damage. It may also contain oily residue from people and pets, locking dirt into the fibers. In addition to dirt, carpets that have not been cleaned regularly could hold a number of germs, including Norovirus, which can live for up to six weeks, and other bacteria, which may take weeks to die off. If you notice that your asthma, allergies, and eczema are flaring up, dust mites and their droppings in the carpet may be the cause. Other bugs often find carpets to make comfy homes, too.

You never know what your carpet may be hiding, so it's essential to regularly schedule professional carpet cleaning so that your family stays healthy and the air in your home stays clean.
