Deep Clean Your Home To Remove Toxins

By Suzanne Herrman


It is easy to see if there is a bit of black mold on a shower curtain and a bit of dirt on the carpet also might be spotted easily, but there are plenty of tiny toxins that are found in many homes that our eyes just cannot see. While they are tiny, they can have an enormous impact on your health as well as the health of your family. It is imperative that you eliminate these microscopic pests, including the following common toxic household intruders.

Dust mites are tiny creatures that exist by eating organic matter such as flakes of skin from humans and their pets. Their excrement contains enzymes that seriously can aggravate asthma and allergies. These mites are extremely resilient and can live in almost any climate. In addition, dust mites also can live in your carpet, pillows, mattresses and furniture upholstery.

Mold, various bacteria and fungi also might be present in your home, and any of these three substances can pose serious threats to your health. Mold, for example, can be a major cause of allergies as well as wheezing. Mold grows well in humid areas of the home such as the bathroom or in any area prone to dampness. While we typically associated mold with bathrooms, mold can be found in flooring such as carpeting, as well as walls and even in furniture or walls of your home.

One way to reduce the dust mites, fungi, bacteria and mold in your home is thorough proper cleaning. While this means you need to vacuum at least once each week and clean your home thoroughly, it also means that you need to schedule periodic deep cleaning for your carpeting, area rugs and upholstery. Professional cleaning removes dust, dirt, debris and many other toxins.

Another way to reduce these toxins is to make sure that you replace the filters on your heating and air conditioning units. When they become clogged with dirt, they no longer filter out debris and this simply floats around your house and gets embedded into the carpets, your mattress, your pillows and your drapery. Replacing filters is easy to do yourself, but you should schedule yearly cleaning of your home's air ducts. A professional can perform this service in a matter of hours and it has been shown to have a big impact on reducing problems associated with allergies and also asthma.

Certainly it would be nice to be able to remove every toxin from the house, but this isn't possible. All we can do is keep things as clean and dust-free as possible. The EPA recommends deep cleaning for carpeting every six months, especially if you have pets or kids or both or simply have people in your home prone to allergies. So call a Prairieville carpet cleaning service, a Baton Rouge carpet cleaning service or a Denham Springs carpet cleaning service today and schedule a cleaning. Be sure to ask about other types of cleanings, such as the aforementioned air duct cleaning as well as tile and grout cleaning and upholstery cleaning.
