Does carpeting affect indoor air quality?
2
Indoor air quality is a big concern in both homes
and businesses these days. Making sure the air we
breathe while at home or work is free from dust,
allergens, bacteria, and other such pollutants
is important to help prevent health problems.
3
You make sure to change the air filters on your
home heating and cooling system on a frequent
basis. You use a humidifier in the winter to keep
the proper levels of humidity in the home, which
also helps to reduce illness causing bacteria.
You may even be diligent about making sure the
carpeting in your home is vacuumed on a regular
basis.

However, there could be dust, dust mites,
allergens, and other small particles trapped down
inside the lush carpetings pile. Getting to
these trapped particles in the carpeting can be
difficult with a normal vacuum cleaner.
5
In order to truly release the dirt, dust, pet
dander, and other such items requires regular
carpet cleaning by a professional carpet cleaning
company in Toronto.
6
Getting your carpet deep cleaned removes these
items and helps restore the carpetings
appearance, luster, and feel. Furthermore, the
dust and allergens deeply embedded in the
carpeting are removed, helping improve the indoor
air quality within your home or business.

How Often Should I Get My Carpeting Cleaned?

• Keep in mind the frequency of carpeting cleaning
  does depend upon several different factors and
  should be based upon the most appropriate
  schedule that best matches your own residential
  or commercial needs.

1. How much foot traffic does the carpeting
receive? 

• The more foot traffic your carpeting gets, the
  more often it should be cleaned to prevent wear
  and tear patterns.

2. Do you have pets that live indoors or both
indoors and outdoors? 

• Pets are a source of pet dander. If they spend
  time outside and inside, they can also track in
  fleas and other unwanted guests that could be
  living in your carpeting and may require for
  frequent cleanings.

3. What is the overall age and condition of the
carpeting? 

• As carpeting ages, it tends to need to be cleaned
  more often than newer carpeting. Keep in mind, on
  average good quality carpeting will last around
  ten years before it needs replaced.

4. Is there areas of the carpeting that often get
wet from rain or snow? 

• Moisture trapped in the carpeting on a regular
  occurrence can lead to the development of mildew
  and mold. If you have high traffic areas that are
  getting wet quite often, then these areas should
  be professional cleaned and treated frequently.

5. Do people wear their shoes while walking on
the carpeting? 

• Shoes track in dust, dirt, allergens, and other
  items that will fall off and get stuck down
  inside the carpeting. To keep the carpeting
  looking great, you will want to get it cleaned
  regularly.

signs of wear and tear, depending on the age of
the carpeting, these areas can be fixed by our
