“But my carpets and furnishings don’t look dirty”
We should all regularly be cleaning our Carpets & Upholstery.
Even if you don’t think your carpets and furnishings need to be
thoroughly cleaned, they do. But why we here you ask?
Here are a few reasons why…..
On average there are over two million
dust mites feeding on dead skin scales in every home! They hide in
your carpets, upholstery, rugs, mattress and pillows.
Mites can double their numbers in ten hours and produce ten to
twenty pieces of faeces per day. A gram of house dust
(approximately half a teaspoon) contains as many as 1,000 dust
mite, that same gram of dust mite can hold 250,000 of their faecal
pellets.
The development of the house dust mite from an egg to an adult
takes just three to four weeks. Adults live for about six weeks
during which time the females produce forty to eighty eggs.
Dust mites survive by eating dead skin cells, which make up to 80%
of house dust. They also live off water vapour, which we provide for
them through perspiring and breathing, approximately one pint per
person per night.
House dust mite are found in virtually all homes, no
matter how clean.
Asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis are the three main
allergic diseases where the cause of most attacks has
been linked to the house dust mite allergen.
Over the past twenty years or so allergies such as
asthma have been causing more and more of us to
experience those uncomfortable symptoms of allergen
sensitivity.
The facts are, clean every six to eighteen months
before traffic lanes begin to appear, your carpets and
furnishings will last far longer and look much better,
any build up of allergens that cause asthma and/or
respiratory and allergic problems get removed so you
will breathe easier too. If you or a loved one are suffering
from any of these symptoms Masterclean ® operatives
come prepared with the latest anti-allergy treatments to
keep your home dust-mite free for over twelve months
Each day Masterclean ® pull pounds and pounds of sandy soil out of the base of carpets and furnishings. It’s in yours too!
Oily residues from the street and the air get deposited in your carpets and onto your upholstery every day. These
sticky residues attract other types of dirt onto your furnishings. They bond to fibres and fabrics
through a process called oxidisation becoming permanently attached causing colour and texture
change.
The longer you wait between cleans the more likely it is that these soils will become impossible to remove causing
permanent damage to your carpets and furnishings.
We hope this article has made you think about just how dirty your soft furnishings really are!
