The Northern Beaches are kind of a dream for many-a perfect coastal paradise with all its laid-back vibe. Well, not so perfect when the allergies start knocking on the door. And one hardly ever thinks of Spotless Carpet Cleaning. Yes, your humble carpet can be a villain and a hero in this fight.
All of that does not hit until one is just sitting at home, enjoying one’s space, yet continuously sneezing as if auditioning for some kind of record for most sneezes in a row. Those plush carpets underfoot? They’re harboring an encampment of tiny allergens. Dust mites, pet dander, pollen-it’s a festival down there, and your immune system is the guest of honor that wasn’t invited.
Cleaning carpets isn’t about rolling out a vacuum every now and then; it’s a very delicately choreographed operation. It’s like a spa day for the floor. Deep cleaning means washing out those hidden depths where dust mites rule. My buddy Greg tried this last year. His plush carpet seemed an innocuous beige habitat until he broke out a steam cleaner. Results: mites fled town, and Greg swore he could smell colors.
But seriously, though-the payoff is huge: proper carpet cleaning can drastically reduce allergens. Think of your sinuses doing an uninhibited, joyful jig-you just might be able to breathe a bit easier because of it.
Now, do not run to just about anybody promising to clean your carpets. The right professional may be hunted down like Easter eggs without hints. Of course, there are Do-It-Yourself carpet cleaning kits, but these may leave your carpets wetter than a seabird. This is all an invitation for mold, and then you are back to square one with added mildew. Nobody wants swamp carpets. Speaking of which, you will be needing a good team of professionals for the job, equipped appropriately: these guys come in, let loose cleaners with gadgets that look like they’re just out of some science fiction movie.
