subject: Disinfected Home; Disinfected Carpet [print this page] If the thought of children playing amongst 100,000 dust mites per square yard, or an infant crawling through more than 200,000 microbes of bacteria per square inch doesn't make you cringe, consider yourself for a moment. Think about your pre-siesta routine; you turn off the television and let your feet take your weary body from the living room, through the aforementioned infestation, into the bathroom where more than 18,025 bacteria per square inch reside comfortably on the floor. All of which you invite into bed with you as you slip between the sheets for the next six to 8 eight hours.
Obviously, getting your carpets cleaned regularly is imperative, but conventional carpet cleaning with a truck mounted water extraction system, uses over a hundred gallons of water and leaves much of that water deep within your carpet and carpet padding. Prolonged dampness can promote mold growth. Other carpet cleaning products contain chemicals that will harm the environment and lower the air quality inside your home, they may also leave behind a residue that not only collects more grime and gross, but this residue may be harmful to you and your pets. According to the EPA, with traditional carpet cleaning products "it is important to keep building occupants away from wet, freshly cleaned carpets so as to reduce their exposure to these chemicals."
Tackling this project by yourself is more work, less efficient and just as hazardous. The EPA advises consumers to think about health and safety precautions when using rug/carpet cleaners stating; "The fumes given off by rug cleaners can cause cancer, damage your liver, and have been known to cause dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, loss of appetite and disorientation. If you need to use these products, you need to be sure to always "Read the Label First" to know how to properly use these products and for safety information. Be sure to use these products in well ventilated area and try not to breathe the fumes."
