Carpet Cleaning Upland CA
According to Men's Health, your carpets contain about 200,000 bacteria for every square inch. Skin cells, which a person sheds 1.5 million every hour, pet dander, food and drink spills, and pollen all add to a steady food supply for growing bacteria. Your carpets nourish bacteria, such as staphylococcus, salmonella, and E. coli. When not managed and regularly cleaned, a carpet's bacterial contents can quite literally make you sick.
Where Does All This Bacteria Even Come From?
A segment on Good Morning America showed that about 90 percent of the bacteria you pick up on your shoes gets transferred onto your floors, whether carpet, wood or tile. Furthermore, a University of Arizona study proved that bacteria not only collects on your shoes, but continues to thrive and survive on your shoes. It's easy to see that you bring home germs from wherever you've been: work, a soccer field, a bus, the beach, a hike, wherever. It seems that no matter what, you are bound to bring your carpet back a souvenir from wherever you've been.
The Only Proven Solution
Vacuum cleaners are truly a very convenient home cleaning tool, but unfortunately, they are not engineered to get at the deep down dirt and bacteria that lurks in your carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Repeatedly running the vacuum over your carpet only results in worn down carpet fibers and bacteria still in tact. This is because bacteria are naturally attracted to moisture, and is naturally moist, so not deep cleaning your carpets only invites more dirt and more bacteria. The only proven way to actually remove stubborn bacteria, and stains as well, is through the steam cleaning method, which uses a combination of steam, cleaning solutions, and suction power simultaneously. Steam cleaning is an excellent choice for many items around the home or office, especially when combined with green friendly products.
