Current research indicates that the carpet in the average home harbors around 200,000 bacteria on every square inch. Some of these bacteria are particularly hazardous to you and your family.
- E. coli
- Staph
- Salmonella
- Norwalk virus
Bacteria and viruses can survive in carpet for long periods of time, and they're much harder to remove with basic cleaning than they are on tile or dry wood surfaces. The Norwalk virus (a common cause of severe flu-like symptoms) and salmonella can survive for over a month.
You can count on Guaranteed Carpet Services for deep cleaning that makes your carpets safer. Bacteria feed on dead skin cells, food particles, and pollen, and our cleaning process removes them from your carpet. Regular vacuuming only gets some of the dirt and debris on which bacteria thrive — our process is more effective.
In addition to removing bacteria and its food sources, professional carpet cleaning can maintain your carpet's warranty. Shaw, Mohawk, and other manufacturers require professional cleaning every 12-18 months in order to maintain the warranty.
Your carpet acts as a filter that traps dirt, germs, allergens, and other particles. Without professional cleaning, these materials can linger for years. For a FREE same-day estimate on professional carpet cleaning, call Guaranteed Carpet Services at 717-394-3464.
