Many business owners and managers skip the commercial carpet cleaning Fairfax VA services for monetary reasons (i.e., to save on operating and maintenance expenses). But this should not be so because the benefits of commercial carpet cleaning services far outweigh their costs.

The challenge is in finding a reliable and reputable Ashburn carpet cleaning service provider, which should have certified carpet cleaners on board as well as advanced tools and technologies for the job (e.g., rotary extraction wand). When you do find the best carpet cleaners and hire their services, you can avoid the following dangers of dirty carpets, rugs and other floor coverings.

Health Dangers

A carpet is a textile floor covering with two layers, namely, an upper layer of pile and a lower layer known as backing. The upper layer is usually made from either wool or a combination of synthetic fibers like nylon, polypropylene, or polyester, which are then twisted into tufts and treated with heat to maintain their structure.

Due to its structure, a carpet is a natural magnet for a wide range of contaminants and pollutants including but not limited to:

  • Dust and debris from outside, as brought indoors on the soles of shoes as well as by pets
  • Pests including dust mites, bugs and ants
  • Molds and mildew
  • Pet dander

All of these pollutants will have adverse effects on the health of both humans and animals when these are not regularly removed from carpets. Dust mites can cause respiratory illnesses, such as asthma, severe cold, and running nose, as well as skin allergies in susceptible individuals especially in small children, sick persons, and the elderly.

Mold and mildew, which are fungi, thrive in moist environments like damp carpets. These organisms can increase the risks for respiratory and nervous system health issues as well as cause irritations in the skin, eye, nose and throat, especially when their spores are inhaled for prolonged periods.

Pathogens like bacteria growing in carpets can also lead to diseases including skin infections. Pests making their home in the dirty carpet will also contribute to an unhealthy environment in the home or office.

Physical Dangers

Aside from these health dangers, dirty carpets are also physical hazards. Particles, spills and debris left unattended on the carpet will increase the risk for accidents, such as trips and slides. This is true even when these physical hazards are nearly invisible to the eye, or perhaps more so because people are less likely to avoid the hazards.

With these dangers to health brought by dirty carpets, you should invest in regular services from the best Fairfax carpet cleaners. You can arrange for either a monthly cleaning or an as-needed arrangement depending on the amount of traffic the carpet is subjected to on daily basis.
