During the long winter months when homes are sealed against the cold the carpets in your home become dusty and dirty not to mention the animal hair, dust mites and dead skin cells. It’s an amazing statistic but people on average shed 1.5 million flakes of skin every hour, these flakes join with the airborne dust, drifting on the air currents and settling on your furniture and carpets, becoming the food source for millions of dust mites. It is a safe bet that by the time springtime roils around your carpets are more than ready for cleaning.
Carpet cleaning in Minneapolis not only removes the dirt and microscopic mites, it improves the quality of air in the home and reduces the bacteria and virus that are in your home. If you thought the first statistic was amazing try this one; 200 thousand bacteria square inch are in your carpets making your carpets far more contaminated than the toilet seat.
Of course routine vacuuming helps to eliminate some of the dirt and contaminates but not all, the only real solution is to have your carpets deep cleaned. Deep carpet cleaning in Minneapolis MN also helps the carpets in your home look newer for longer. As dirt and debris get ground into the carpets, the individual fibers are compromised and the color can change, premature wear and tear on the carpets are almost always caused by inadequate deep cleaning and wearing street shoes while in the home.
There is a number of different carpet cleaning methods, some are dry, others wet. Dry methods include dry foam, dry compounds and bonnet cleaning while wet cleaning methods include shampoo and deep steam cleaning. Although they all work to one degree or another, there is little doubt that the method that works best is steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction.
Steam cleaning actually doesn’t use steam; it uses water which is extremely hot, often mixed with a trace amount of shampoo which has been formulated for the purpose. The reason why steam cleaning is so popular is simple; it works. Steam cleaning works better on stains because of the heat, it penetrates deeper and hot water fights germs and viruses. Dust mites instantly die when subjected to hot water and as an added bonus the fibers are refreshed, bouncing back to their original appearance. Although steam cleaning has the drawback of needing time to dry, it is by far the best.
