With their rich colors, textures and intricate weaves, carpet and rugs can give any room a homelike feel. But the beauty and life of your carpet depends on the care it receives.

Just how long should a well-cared-for carpet last? It’s hard to say. Believe it or not, you can find some 100-plus-year-old Oriental rugs still in use. But generally speaking, ten years is given as a guideline for quality carpets that are well-maintained (12.4 years according to DuPont studies.) Use manufacturers’ warranties as a guide to how long you can anitipcate a particular carpet to last. And look at those warranties carefully-large carpet manufacturers are tying their new carpet warranties to proper cleaning and maintenance with industry approved products.

In today’s air tight homes, Indoor Air Quality is a growing concern. Most household dust contains dust mites, mold, mildew, pollen and animal dander. Many of these contaminants are circulatied through the central air systems in modern homes and can aggravate asthma and allergies.

Air duct cleaning can:

• reduce the levels of dirt and debris
• reduce the levels of mold
• reduce the levels of pollen
• reduce the levels of dust mites
• improve the efficiency of your HVAC system

When you selected the carpet in your home, you may not have thought much about how carpet contributes to human health. Perhaps you were thinking style, color, and durability. However, one of the greatest, but often overlooked benefits of carpet is its contribution to healthier indoor air quality.

Your carpet is the biggest filter in your home. Just like your air conditioner filter that filters out airborne soils that pass through it, your carpet does the same thing. It absorbs tracked in soil like dirt, asphalt, pollens, insecticides, bacterial matter, and fungus. This can be clearly seen with “filtration soiling”. The black lines that appear on light colored carpet around the base boards, under the doors and around cool air returns is called “filtration soiling”.

The filtering process that your carpet provides keeps those soils from becoming airborne. These soils are trapped in the carpet. They are removed with regular vacuuming and regular professional cleaning. If you do not clean your carpet on a regular basis, the filter becomes full. Would you leave your air conditioning filters for years on end without replacing them or cleaning them? No. The cleaning industry at large has not done a good job educating the public about these kinds of issues; therefore many consumers are uniformed of the impact.

Not maintaining your carpet not only leaves it exposed to permanent traffic area damage and permanent staining, but it contributes to an unhealthy indoor environment.

Have you ever had your mattress cleaned? Most of us haven’t even given any consideration to mattress cleaning. Do not underestimate the potential value of this cleaning process. Fifty million Americans suffer from some form of allergies or asthma.

Most allergies are caused by contaminants in the environment that we can remove by specialized cleaning.

Do You Have Dust Mite Allergies?

Dust mites are microscopic, eight-legged creatures that are 0.3mm in length (7,000 can fit on a fingernail) and are invisible to the naked eye. It is the dust mite feces that caused the development of and aggravation of allergies.

A dust mite will produce 200 times its own body weight in feces during its short lifetime!

Mattresses contain 60% of the dust mites found in the home. Given that we spend up to one-third of our lives in the bedroom and are exposed to this highly potent allergen for long periods of time, the bedroom is the number one treatment priority.

Mattress cleaning is safe & efficient.
