Why Cleaning Carpets, Rugs and Furniture in the Springtime is the Healthy Choice

Did you know that your IAQ(indoor air quality) can be upwards of 5 times more toxic than outside air?   Windows and doors are usually kept closed up and so things like dust mites, dander, hair spray, perfumes, pest control products, cooking fumes and other airborne substances are more prone to be trapped inside of a structure during the winter months.  This accumulation of allergen causing junk has now settled inside household items like textiles, filtration systems and linens.   This is why a professional deep cleaning of carpets and fabrics is important to your health.Dustmites under magnification
