Is your family’s health at risk?

Getting your carpet clean will make it “look” good, but the Environmental Protection Agency warns that a dirty carpet retains hidden pollutants that you may not know about like

• pet dander
• cockroach allergens
• lead
• particle pollution
• dead skin cells
• hair
• clothing fibers
• pesticide residue
• cement or paint particles
  
  

Walking on the carpet crushes the pollutants deep into carpet fibers which makes them unreachable by vacuums and often overlooked by professional cleaners.  If left untreated, the small particles attract Dust Mites which are microscopic bugs that leave behind daily waste and feces of up to 200 times their body weight.   Even though the original pollutants are embedded tight in the fibers of your carpet, body parts and “left overs” from the dust mites can easily be inhaled when the area is disturbed.

A carpet that is meant to be a comfortable place to lay down with a blanket and pillow to watch a movie, or where a baby learns to walk or crawl is often instead a source of hidden “creepy crawlies” and unsuspecting ailments.  Without getting rid of these common critters AND their “left overs” you may be leaving your family subject to airborne illness, skin irritations and sinus irritations that contribute to sneezing, snoring and asthma.  Plus you’ll have a carpet that seems to never get clean.
