The fact is that there are germs that could be making your family sick in your own home including COVID-19. You want to make sure you are cleaning the right areas of your home. DM Carpet Cleaning outlines where germs can be living in your house.
Germs on Your Fabric Couch
One of the areas of the house that you want to be aware of and that can and does hold germs are couches. These are areas of the house that you tend to hang out on and spend your time especially when you are sick and not feeling your best. Your couch is a soft surface and some people assume they cannot hold germs and bacteria but they can. Soft surfaces have been known to carry many germs that can pass to the next person that sits in the area. The best thing you can do is to have your couches and chairs cleaned professionally. Most carpet cleaning companies offer services that include upholstery cleaning. This is a great service that you should take advantage of and ask about if you are worried about germs.
How Dirty is Carpet?
When you try to clean the surfaces in your house most people will take a disinfecting wipes or spray and cleanse the hard surfaces. Such as your counters, cabinets and the door handles. One area that the home that you should not forget about is the carpet. They are the flooring in most homes and will hold onto germs from the flu, colds, bacteria and more on them for hours and even days. As you lay around the house or walk around you are spreading these germs around the house and potentially making your family sick. You want to make sure that you keep your carpets cleaned professionally on a regular basis.
Are Area Rugs Unsanitary?
You also want to make sure that the rugs that you are using in your home are treated as well. The area rugs are used over carpet or hard floors such as hardwood of tile to create décor or comfort. The rugs are also playing host to some of the germs that you should be concerned about. It is best to make sure that your area rugs are cleaned as well and not just moved out of the way when the rest of the floors are cleaned.
