Moving into a new home is an exciting prospect. There are a thousand things to consider, a thousand details that have to be addressed and somewhere along the way you need to find time to meet your new neighbors and acclimate to your new surroundings. The last thing you want is to move in and discover after the fact that the carpeting was left in a less than ideal state by the previous owner. Which means if you just bought a new house the time to call Steve's Carpet Cleaning services is after the previous owner moves out but before you move in.
Is Carpet Cleaning Before I Move in Really Necessary?
Yes. If you bought a house that has wall-to-wall carpeting you should absolutely have it professionally cleaned prior to moving in. The following are just a few reasons why that is so.
Carpeting is a great way to make a home more beautiful and comfortable year-round. That's the upside. The downside is that the average carpet plays host to more germs than a toilet seat. Why? Because most homeowners don't have their carpets cleaned on a regular basis. So all types of allergens, bacteria and other nasties have plenty of time to establish themselves.
An analysis of carpet dirt concluded that more than a third of it is human hair. That's human hair from the previous owner. If the previous owner had pets another significant chunk of the detritus in the carpet is pet hair and pet dander. About 5% of carpet dirt is actually dead skin cells (from the previous owner) and the remainder is comprised of fungal spores and decomposing plant matter brought in from outside. Yuck!
Germs can survive in carpeting for long periods of time, while experts believe the coronavirus can live in carpeting for several days. Longer if the conditions are just right. You really don't want anyone in the family getting sick after you move in because the previous owner didn't clean the carpets often enough. A thorough cleaning with our truck-mounted steam cleaning technology reduces the odds of that happening to almost zero.
More Benefits of Having the Carpets Cleaned Before Moving In
