Whether its dust mites, pollen, mold spores, or pet dander that are irritating your respiratory system and causing you discomfort, you have plenty of options when it comes to treating your allergies. Along with the medical treatment that your doctor recommends, changing your indoor environment can help alleviate some of your symptoms - like keeping your carpets clean.

Moving out of a rental is a simple process that starts with putting in your 30-day notice, but the process of selling a home that you own is considerably more complex. If you rush the process, you could miss out on maximizing the selling price by not presenting a home in great condition.

It is important to make sure your home and all the major features are in working condition. But you will also want to focus on cleanliness because a dirty home makes it tough to attract buyers. Scheduling everything that you do while getting ready to sell your property is an essential step, including taking care of several things around the house before you get carpet cleaning.

Whether you have a large family or live alone, it can be hard to keep your home's carpeting clean, stain-free and smelling fresh. If you have kids and pets, you'll need to be even more diligent when it comes to maintaining and caring for your floors. Even if you vacuum your carpeting daily, you could still be missing dirt, pet dander, hair, food crumbs and other unsavory items.

No matter what type of carpeting you have, it's important to have it deep-cleaned at least a few times a year, such as during the spring and fall. In addition to looking and smelling better, your professionally cleaned carpeting will be healthier to live with because professional products can remove allergens as well.

Between professional cleanings, there are several ways to maintain your carpets and keep them looking great. Here are four cleaning tips to keep in mind.

Carpet is a beautiful floor covering that can feel quite luxurious. Eventually, like any other floor covering, it will wear out and you will need to purchase new carpeting. Unfortunately, many people don't fully understand how to buy and maintain carpets in order to get the maximum life and enjoyment out of them. This can result in carpeting that looks dull and lifeless only a couple of years after installation.

Before you go shopping for your next carpeting, it's important to understand this material as much as possible. The better you understand what you're buying, the more value you'll have. A good carpet can last two decades or more, but this is only true if you know what you're buying and also maintain it properly. Some things to know about the carpet buying process include:

The carpets in your home may look soft and inviting, but they're often laden with dirt, mold spores, bacteria and skin particles. This doesn't sounds like the kind of surface you'd want to sit on or allow your kids to play on. Regular carpet cleaning can go a long way towards keeping your carpet free of germs and contaminants, but "regular" means different things to different people.

Having your carpets professionally cleaned once a year is a good starting point, but some homeowners need to have theirs cleaned more often--while others can wait a bit longer between appointments. Here's a closer look at the factors that influence how often you need to have your carpet cleaned.

Carpets add beauty to the value of your home since they are available in an array of styles and colors. However, carpets can also be a haven for all sorts of filth. Therefore, it is extremely important for those who have carpets to get them cleaned regularly, not only to extend the life of the carpet, but also the health of the home’s occupants from several factors.

  • Dust -  Dust collects on everything. What many people don’t know is that some dust is composed of residue from microscopic creatures called dust mites. These microscopic creatures thrive in warm environments and feed off dead skin cells. They reside in bedding, upholstery and carpets.
  • Fungi -  Houses collect moisture, which are breeding grounds for fungi such as mold and mildew. Though these fungi typically start out in rooms such as the bathrooms and kitchens where moisture collects more readily, they can migrate into other rooms and settle into carpets.
  • Pollutants -  In addition to dust and fungi, other carpet pollutants can get trapped in carpets. Outdoor dirt with oil and other elements can be tracked in and get imbedded in the carpet.
Getting a carpet cleaned regularly can eliminate irritants that get trapped in carpet and not removed by vacuum or worse, activated by vacuum. For more on professional carpet cleaning, call Carpet Cleaning Supply of Indiana at 317-842-7454.
