What Are The Health Issues Associated With
Dirty Carpet?
Some people disregard the importance of regular
carpet cleaning procedures. This is simply
because they think that hiring professional
carpet cleaners or even cleaning it by
themselves is a luxury that only the rich can
afford. They forget that this procedure is not
only for how their houses will look but it is
also for their health benefits. Dirty carpets
are not only unpleasant to the eye and to the
nose but they are also bad for one's health. The
following are some of the health issues or
problems associated with dirty carpets and why
it is important to clean or get your carpet
cleaned regularly.
Mould
This is among the things that homeowners should
be afraid of. It is a form of fungi that grows
on damp places. There pores can get airborne
which in turn can cause allergy to humans and
other animals. To human beings, the effects of
mould vary according to individual bodies but to
extreme cases they can result to death. Moulds
do grow on the unexposed part of the carpet
especially if the floor is damp and as such it
is important to get your carpet cleaned
regularly.
Athlete's foot
This is yet another health problem associated
with dirty carpets. Although it is not a life
threatening condition, athlete' foot can be
embarrassing itchy and generally uncomfortable
to individuals suffering from it. It can be
caused by germs that could be flourishing on the
surface of a dirty carpet. This condition can be
completely uncomfortable especially when it
comes to wearing closed shoes.
Asthma
Studies show that a damp and dirty carpet can
cause asthma. This is a condition that is caused
by tiny particles that lead to allergic
reactions in the respiratory system in the body.
Although this disease is not life threatening,
it can be very bad inconvenience to individuals
suffering from it.
Dust mites
Uncleaned carpets tend to be the best breeding
grounds for dust mites. These mites feed on
fungi, human dead skin cells and bacteria that
are found on dirty carpets. Some people are
allergic to these mites especially when they
die. They can cause nose and eye irritation and
in extreme cases they can cause skin rashes.
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are found in buildings and carpets
that are dirty and have plenty of mould. These
toxins can cause serious health issues including
stomach infections, reduced body immune system
and allergy. These can cause big health problems
if not treated quickly. Therefore it is very
important to ensure that you carry out regular
carpet cleaning procedures to ensure that you
and your family members are free from these
health problems.
In summary the above health issues can only be
avoided if you carry out a thorough carpet
cleaning procedure. If you can not effectively
carry out this procedure by your self you can
seek the help of professional carpet cleaning
service providers. These people will ensure that
your carpet is thoroughly cleaned and treated to
ensure that your home is free from the above
health issues and problems.
