Health Benefits



Professional Residential and Commercial Carpet Cleaning, Swindon. Your carpets act as a “filter”  helping to clean the air inside your home or office. Their fibres “grab” particulates and contaminants and hold them, but like any filter, it needs to be cleaned. When it gets full it is unable to grab anything else and each time you step on it you release the contaminants back into the air.

Regular vacuuming of your carpets will help a little and is of course a fundamental part of good “housekeeping”. However,  this will only remove some of the accumulated dust, grit and general soiling. The EPA’s guidelines for carpet cleaning vary from every four months to every eighteen months depending on the number of people and pets that live in the home as well as other considerations such as any allergic sensitivities, how dusty the air is in your neighbourhood to whether anyone in the home smokes.

The House Dust Mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) are microscopic (up to 0.3 mm) arthropod creatures related to ticks and spiders. Too small to be seen with the naked eye the mites are turtle shaped creatures with eight legs. They live on the decaying dead skin flakes in house dust – skin that we shed every day. There is hardly a house in the UK without them, although the number can vary between houses containing huge numbers, and others almost none.

The Mites survival does not only depend on the amount of dust, but very much on the amount of humidity in the house. Without continuous high humidity (50+rh) their skin will cause them to rapidly dehydrate. In these perfect conditions Dust Mites live for 3-4 months with females laying 25 to 50 eggs, with a new generation produced every three weeks! It is not the Mite that we become allergic to, but ironically it’s the waste product from our skin that they digest. In fact it is the powerful protein enzymes the mites digest our skin with, in a similar way to most creatures. Each mite will produce around 20 droppings per day everywhere they go.

Each of these droppings holds around 10-12 sub pellets that are about 2-10 micron in size and contain their leftover enzymes. Your carpets will obtain countless amounts of microbes including dust mites and bacteria. It is crucial to maintain your carpets, your warranty or guarantee may be invalid if it is not cleaned professionaly at least every 12 months.Keeping them clean will help stimulate better health and help your home look cleaner, fresher, brighter.
