Dustmites and Fleas
The average home in the UK has over 2 million dust mites feeding on the protein from dead skin scales in carpets and upholstery.
Airbourne Partical
Bacteria, fungus, pollens and cigarette smoke are all airbourne particles that carry into your home and into your carpet. Only professional carpet cleaning can remove these and reduce the source of breathing problems such as asthma, allergies and emphysema.
Dirt is Abrasive
When you walk on your carpet you grind the dirt into the fibres causing wear. Vacuuming regularly reduces this, but houshold vacuums do not have the same suction power as professional carpet cleaners to remove all the dirt.
