Sarasota Carpet And Tile Cleaning | Commercial and Residential | FL.
Most people tend wait to have their carpet cleaned until it starts to looks dirty or dingy. This is a very common mistake. There is couple of issues associated with this type of approach that are generally not common knowledge. Cleaning based on appearance can significantly shorten the life cycle of the carpet and drive the long term replacement cost up dramatically.
Why? Because carpet is design to hide soil. Some commercial grade carpets can hide a pound of dirt in one square foot before it is even noticeable. Just normal foot traffic grinds dirt into the fibers causing permanent damage and premature ware. Waiting for your carpet to look dirty shortens its life expectancy substantially. It's also not very environmentally responsible. Delaying your carpets eventual resting place in a landfill by three or four years is a good thing, both for your pocket book and our planet.
Another often overlooked issue of concern is your health. Carpet acts like a gigantic filter, a kitchen sink so speak, everything winds up in it. Dirt and soil brought in on shoes, pollutants, dust, bacteria, cleaning chemicals, soda, coffee, basically anything and everything. This chemical soup can be an incubator of sorts and can significantly degrade your indoor air quality over time.
The flip side of the situation is it will also trap this toxic brew in the fibers for a period time keeping it from returning to your breathing zone.
The carpet cleaning standards IICRC S-100 (Institute of inspection cleaning and restoration certification) to the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) cleaning frequency guidelines both state carpet should be cleaned first for HEALTH then for appearance.
In 1991 and again in 1994 The Environmental Protection Agency, working in conjunction with Research Triangle Institute, investigated and scientifically tested the effects of carpet cleaning upon the quality of the indoor air. The results demonstrated emphatically that carpet cleaning made the indoor environment a healthier place to live by reducing gas phase organics, biological contamination and microscopic particles that we breathe.
CLEAN CARPET can save you money, help the environment and improve indoor air quality.
