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.

The products that we use to clean your mattress are hypoallergenic, dye & perfume free. They have been specially formulated for use around people with allergic illness and chemical sensitivities.

• Save empty baby wipe boxes. They come in handy for storing gift tags and slivers of ribbon for decoration small packages.
• Simmering orange or lemon peels can give your home a fresh, natural scent for the holidays.
• Pinecones make great kindling in your fireplace. They have an incredible scent, heat up quickly and burn for a long time.
• Rubber causes silver to tarnish, so don’t dry your pieces on a rubber mat or store them grouped with rubber bands.
