How Carpet Cleaning Can Improve Indoor Air Quality
Filed under: Carpet Cleaning
Are you worried about the air quality in your home? If you suffer from allergies, then it is possible that your allergies are aggravated at home because of low-quality air. Even if you don’t have allergies, you still might be suffering from negative health problems because of poor air quality.
Air Quality in the Home
Most people don’t worry about the quality of the air inside because they assume that their air is clean and fresh. But, it has been found that indoor air pollution is usually 2 to 5 times higher than pollution in the outdoor air! There may be as many as 100 more contaminants in your air at home compared to the air outside.
The EPA has said that air pollution inside homes and offices is a risk to public health. Household cleaning products, plastics, mold, bacterial growth, and many other materials release chemicals and dangerous compounds into the air. Since our buildings are tightly sealed, they simply hold these compounds in and circulate them around the building. As you breathe these things in each day, you are damaging your health.
Cleaning the Carpets to Improve Air Quality
Are you surprised to hear that the carpets have a direct impact on the quality of the air? The carpet is an area that can collect these pollutants throughout the day. It acts as a filter, to pull the pollutants from the air. As a result, your carpet is holding onto all of those things that are making you sick.
When the carpets are cleaned, those hazardous compounds are collected and removed from your home. If you delay the carpet cleaning, then you are walking around on a breeding ground that is collecting the pollutants and contaminants that are damaging your health.
If you want to improve the air quality in your home, then you need to make sure that you have the carpets cleaned on a regular basis. Not only will you improve the appearance of your carpets, but you will also improve the air quality in your home.
