Eradicating Microbes in Carpet

The chemical process used to clean your carpets alters the living environment of microbes, thus eliminating many of them from your home.

Microbes are everywhere. While most are totally harmless, some do pose a health threat to your family. The chemical process used to clean your carpets alters the living environment of microbes, thus eliminating many of them from your home. All of the elements that go into producing a clean carpet, including changes in pH, hot water, and the chemicals used, go into reducing the life of microbes.

Any fabric surface in your home is teaming with unseen microbes. Here is some information about the make up of dust in your home; about 80% of it consists of skin fluff." Skin fluff consists of keratinized cells which are replaced by new cells on a regular basis. These cells are constantly being shed, as your skin replaces the cells in the dermis layer in a process that takes about 12 weeks.

That skin fluff is just the beginning of the items that are trapped in your carpet that make it unhealthy for your family. Another thing that is a great attraction for microbes is the dead carcasses or casings from insects such as spiders, flies, and mosquitoes which have entered your home. The organic mater that is created from these insets will stay on your carpet indefinitely if not treated. It is impossible to remove the microbial development with a vacuum cleaner.

On of the biggest offenders you will find in your home are dust mites, also known as dermatophophagordes pteronyssimus. While the dust mite is small, measuring only 0.01 of an inch long, they enjoy the warmth, moisture, and endless supply of food that can be found in your home. The only way to truly eliminate these dust mites from your carpet is through the use of a professional carpet cleaner.
