Remember those carefree days, relaxing around the house, walking around in your stocking feet, usually a pair of white athletic socks, and have your spouse or mom point out how dirty your socks were and why you insist in walking outside within clean socks she washed and cleaned for somebody? You look at the socks, and point out that you’ve been the particular whole time- then the silent looks to each other, each thinking “walking on the carpet did this?” Yup!
Carpet, by its very nature, is a natural dust and dirt magnet. Today’s carpet is made out of a number of natural and man made materials, such as wool blends, various polymers, nylon and Dacron based clothes. Fibers are usually twisted around a strong core, either warped or fused. These fibers are bonded to the backing by strong adhesives or woven through a backing mat. Pile fibers might be cut or looped, of varying lengths, such as kitchen, short pile, long pile or the memory indulging shag.
Because of the construction materials, manufacturing processes or simply the patterns, carpet is a perfect storm for gathering dirt, toxins and grime. Everyone knows what happens to the bottom soles of a brand new pair of shoes after walking outside the first time- the simple coating of everyday yuck is about on carpet every day all day. Fiber edges grab dirt, liquid residue, oils, toxins and more assorted things than merits thinking about. HVAC systems, residential and commercial, also blow various pollens, insect detritus, flaked skin and plain old dirt all over the carpet surface, no matter how complicated the renal system. All carpet fibers are subject to static electricity and some fibers are treated to be somewhat static resistant; but any static will attract contaminants. Stain treatment, since Teflon, is also a common addition to carpet fibers- but all this does is make cleanup of liquids and stain inducing materials easier- dirt still gets into treated carpet fibers. So unless your carpet is in a professional class 6 clean room-it’s going to get dirty.
Some homes insist that leave your shoes via the entry door, and walk around the carpet barefoot or in your footwear. By initial thought that might seem like a great way to keep your carpet free from many dirt sources, nevertheless the opposite is true. Oils from feet, even through socks, will get over a carpet fibers and dramatically attract contaminates.
There is another important reason to keep your carpets clean- if all residents of your business or home are subject to respiratory distress-upper or lower- a dirty carpet can greatly expand the contaminants that help cause that distress. It’s a medically researched fact that this clean carpet decreases a variety of the causes of Asthma or even respiratory ailments.
