Over wetting when cleaning, will result in mold growing in your carpet…

When cleaning carpets or upholstery yourself, one of the main contributions to poor health is by over wetting the carpet. In addition,  not drying the carpet fast enough. This resulting in wet carpets or upholstery for days or even weeks. Remember, you could end up with ‘mold growing in carpet’.

When left untreated by a professional for too long,  your soft furnishings can end up with a horrible smell

Your wall to wall carpeting can also be redeemed fit for one thing, the bin! Now that’s a costly mistake.

Did you know that when a fibre or fabric is left wet for longer than 72 hours, bacteria starts to form living organisms. This turns into mold and mildew (part of the fungi family). This bacteria thrives in temperatures at 30 degrees and starts to rapidly reproduce. Something you do not want in your homes or commercial furnishings!

Heated homes in the Winter, and warm in the Summer…

This temperature is easily consistent to start farming our own breading ground for poor health.

When living around mold and mildew for long periods of time, respiratory issues can start to arise. Not removing and leaving bad smells behind can then become difficult to live with. Without a doubt, will become a burden to your emotional well being.
