Living with kids on North Shore is like a daily adventure with sticky hands, muddy soccer boots and all. Amazing, but maintaining those immaculate carpets clean is challenging. Yet another beast is that. You already know that floor restoration northern beaches can be just as vital as carpet cleaning if you are managing storytime and kitchen accidents.
Those small feet trail in more than just imagination, really. Studies reveal carpets can harbor up to 200,000 bacteria per square inch (yikes!), and children are not very disciplined when it comes to snack time on the rugs. For certain families, allergies that cause runny nose and itchy skin are trapped by the fibers in dust, food crumbs, pet hair. Although it helps, regular vacuuming cannot reach everything lying deep below. You know what I mean if your little child has ever spilled a cup of juice on the floor.
Many of the parents wonder, “How often should we clean our carpets?” For households include small children or pets, industry professionals advise a professional clean every six to twelve months. If asthma or allergies rule, try for the shorter end of the cycle. Expert steam cleaning not only removes dust mites, germs, and the traces of many snack crumbs but also lifts sticky stains.
More importantly, a clean carpet lasts for a long time. Good maintenance can add years before replacement becomes required. Not less important is the effect on interior air quality. The EPA claims that dirty carpets can make indoor air up to eight times worse than outdoor air.
Practical advice for in-between cleans? Go “shoes off” inside for minimal mess. Blot, avoid scrubbing, and use a white cloth to assess your progress—treat spills right away. For smells, sprinkle baking soda over the carpet for 15 minutes before vacuuming; this is a method passed down by both smart grandmothers and cleaning professionals.
