New York City Carpet Cleaning

Cleaning carpets in New York City is often a task we leave for the pre spring or Holiday season. Yet, your carpets need a much stringent care taking system than just once or twice a year. New York City Carpet Cleaning would like to inform you of some of the reasons why you should take better care of your carpets and rugs.

The risks of a dirty carpet

Dust gathers and gathers, it's no secret, and with it come numerous fostering possibilities for dust mites and bacteria. Just like the human skin, carpets are made up of an epidermis layer of ingrained fibers, knitted together and covered by various compositions of light and heavier hair like fibers. And just like our skin requires constant washing, brushing and special lotions to keep it healthy so do your carpets and rugs.

Example - shoes are often a house cleaning nightmare. They introduce external elements like mud, dirt, moisture and other compounds found on the sidewalk into the sanctuary of your home. When bacteria are introduced into a warm and damp environment it provides for the perfect nesting house for growth and breeding. Such is often the case with unkempt carpets and rugs.

The result of carpet neglect especially in a big metropolitan area like New York City can be hazardous to your health. Dust mites, mold and other bacteria are often the cause of various respiratory illnesses and inflammatory rashes. Some carpet adhesives found usually in newly purchased carpets release formaldehyde which can cause stomach irritation and a rash.

But the more severe health problems are the respiratory ones. Dust is a main trigger of asthma attacks in children. While some children are not as vulnerable as others, most if not all use the carpet as their playground and are therefore highly exposed to asthma stimulators while crawling and laying on carpets.

Three easy steps for better health by New York City Carpet Cleaning:

• Vacuum your carpets at least twice a week!
• Remember to aerate your carpet or rug at least once a month. If you live in an apartment building and this option is unavailable use a strong carpet beater or carpet steam cleaner in order to provide for even better results.
• Call upon the carpet cleaning services of a professional company at least twice a year.
