Sometimes carpet cleaning does more than just make the appearance better. Quality steam cleaning can help reduce the allergens, pet dander and dust mites that exist in your carpeting. If you are suffering from poor air quality in your home one of the first things, you should consider is professional steam cleaning of your carpets, rugs, furniture, upholstery, mattresses, and drapes. Steam is excellent at killing bacteria, viruses, and small parasites like dust-mites. In addition to plain steam-cleaning additional products can be pre-sprayed into the carpet or injected into it for more aggressive allergen control.
