Properly Sanitizing Carpet

While everyone wants a clean home, many forget to consider the carpet as one of the biggest sources of dirt and bacteria. Regular vacuuming is essential to remove dirt and other substances that could trigger allergies. However, it does not kill germs. Carpet sanitizing is the only way you can eliminate bacteria.

We take off our clothes every day and wash them in the laundromat. Not because they are dirty but because of bacteria buildup. Although it is easy to wash clothes and just put them in the washer, carpets are more difficult. Carpets can develop bacteria over time and develop a musty odor. Although it may not be obvious, carpets can harbor germs.

A thorough cleaning done by a professional company with the right equipment will remove these bacteria. They will then sanitize and remove unpleasant smells on your carpets. It is crucial to understand the causes of bacteria buildup in carpets so that you can ensure that they are properly cleaned and that cleaning doesn't increase their growth.

The best way to keep bacteria from growing is to give them moisture. At one time or another, we have all seen damp clothing or clothes left unattended for a while. This is known as "moldy." Mold is a type of bacteria. Carpets can't be dried in the dryer or on the washer line, so make sure they are dry.

It is not worth having carpets cleaned, deodorized, and sanitized but left wet. The moisture may not be visible on the carpet surface, but carpets are usually covered with a backing that absorbs water. It is difficult to completely remove this moisture without soaking it in water. This makes it the ideal environment for bacteria growth. Industrial dehumidifiers or fans are the only way to remove moisture from carpet backing.

While sanitizing your carpet is the best way to get rid of bacteria, it's important to make sure that the company that does the cleaning doesn't create an environment conducive to the growth of bacteria. If your carpets are soaking wet, it can prove costly and a hassle.
