The air that your staff breathe throughout the day contains all sorts of particles that have fallen to the floor as dust. These then get ground into the carpet fibres by foot traffic. The carpet becomes a filter which traps these particles within the fibres.
Carpets Trap More Than Dust
All sorts of detritus are swept up in the carpet fibres including pollen, bacteria and even mould spores. These are loosened up by foot traffic and sink deeper into the pile of the carpet until they are finally dislodged and released back into the air of the room.
Hot-Water Extraction Goes Deeper
A professional hot-water extraction cleaning of carpets penetrates deep into carpet piles, flushing out with the clean water all the dirt, germs and other contaminants that have become embedded in the carpet fibres. The extraction process removes far more than surface dirt that is removed by vacuuming.
Mould and Mildew Build Up in Damp Fibres
Carpets in poor or damp environments, such as those found in basement offices, kitchens and near leaky windows can develop mould in the lower layers of the carpet fibres long before any visible signs of growth appear on the surface. This type of growth can be removed by a professional carpet cleaner who will remove the damp organic matter that the mould is growing on.
The Benefit for Staff With Allergies
Dust mites, mould and pollen are common allergens that affect millions of people suffering from asthma and hay fever. In the work place, it is important to reduce the amount of these contaminants in the air that staff breathe for long periods of time. Into Cleaning offers a deep extraction cleaning service in the area.

Allow Proper Drying Time After Cleaning
It is also important to remember that wet carpet left in a closed room for a long period of time can cause even worse problems with air quality and lead to new mould growth. Open up the windows, turn on fans and make sure that the building is well ventilated overnight after a clean to allow any remaining moisture to evaporate.
Cleaning your carpets on a regular basis will result in you noticing the difference in the smell of the air in your office within a few days. We recommend that you have your carpets deep extraction cleaned at least twice a year.
