Carpet Cleaning Is NOT Just About Getting Out The Dirt! Oak Bay, Langford, Colwood, Victoria, Saanich

Many are under the impression that the only reason to clean carpets is to get out the dirt. That is simply not true....

Consider what is in outdoor air! Outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust -- and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and your family members come into your home, those pollutants are carried in and usually end up in your carpet.

If you have allergies, asthma, emphysema, or other breathing problems – one major source of your problem could be the pollens, fungus, pet dander, and chemicals in your carpet.

What are some things you can do if you do suffer from allergies?

Prepare your home for allergy season with a regular vacuuming routine, along with a professional cleaning from Victoria Carpet Care every three to four months. Our professional deep cleaning process has proven to be effective in removing a large percent of surface allergens in the home.

Clean carpets can actually help you breathe more easily than hard surface floors. Studies have shown that particulate contaminants, bacteria and fungi are found to be in higher levels above hard surfaces. This is because every time you walk on the floor, you're kicking up particles into the air you breathe.

Carpeting, on the other hand, is actually your home's largest indoor air filter. Contaminants, bacteria and fungi are trapped in the carpet fibers, so you don't breathe them in. But just like any filter, your carpets need to be cleaned regularly to remove all those trapped contaminants, so your home's largest filter--your carpeting--can be effective again in helping you breathe air with far less allergens.
