This might be carpet bacteria, carpet bugs and carpet allergens. You should consider carpet cleaning. <div data-rss-type="text"> <div> <span> Nothing beats the feeling of freshly-cleaned carpet underfoot. Clean, soft, luxurious carpet elevates the freshness of your home, extends the life of the carpet, and most importantly, makes your living environment more hygienic. But, what’s living in your carpet before the clean? The truth is, it’s probably worse than you think…  </span> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> Carpet allergens </b> </div> <div> Many people suffering from hay fever are pleasantly surprised at the difference a carpet dry-clean can have on those annoying allergy niggles. Dust, pollen, pesticides, pet hair, old skin, and mold thrive in carpets. From here, they easily get into your skin and airways, causing discomfort and respiratory health issues. Asthma and eczema-sufferers feel these affects more intensely, but regardless of any existing health issues, it’s important to get carpets thoroughly cleaned every 12 – 18 months.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> Carpet bacteria </b> </div> <div> Everyday spills result in grease and mold getting into the fibers of your carpet. When left unchecked, these build into hard-to-remove stains and odors. Again, pets are often a culprit here (as much we love them, our carpets don’t!). Grime and outdoor debris from shoes is also embedded into carpets, adding to significant wear and tear which can only be removed with the right equipment.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> Carpet bugs </b> </div> <div> Your carpet is a playground for dust mites, carpet beetles, and even fleas. These insects live off tiny particles found in your carpets (or in the carpet beetle’s case, the actual carpet pile), and lay eggs to restart the life-cycle in the plush comfort of your home. Aside from these critters, we often find more common house insects like centipedes, spiders, and cockroaches dead in the corners of the homes we service, which can then attract smaller insects, like ants.  </div> <div> <b> <br/> </b> </div> <div> <b> Getting rid of germs in your carpet </b> </div> <div> Vacuuming is crucial, but will never completely rid your carpet fibers of dirt and bacteria; your home equipment simply isn’t powerful enough to get the job done. A professional clean is the only way to eliminate carpet-dwelling germs, bugs, dust, and bacteria. </div> <div> We service Perth’s southern suburbs with carpet dry-cleaning, but also sanitise and deodorise carpets for the most thorough, lasting clean.
