Carpet cleaning & Allergies

Carpet cleaning & Allergies KSW Carpet cleaning visited a new client this week to talk about a maintenance and cleaning program, Whilst we talked through the options we got onto the topic of health and which surface is better to have in your home Laminate or carpets.

In this house like many others they have laminate downstairs and carpet upstairs.
She informed me that her son has asthma and that someone told her that laminate is much healthier than carpets. It surprised me and I began to let her know that this wasn't the case. Please see below some of the facts and details as to why carpets in your home are the best option.
Put simply whatever falls onto your carpets such as dust, allergens, pollutants tends to stay on the carpet until its hoovered or cleaned professionally. Unlike smooth surfaces that allow the dust etc to re­circulate around the room.
If you look after your carpets and maintain them by vacuuming and getting a local carpet cleaner  to clean annually then your carpets will be so much healthier than hard floors.

If you need any more advice on this then feel free to email or call me to discuss a carpet cleaning or maintenance options.
