Cleaning carpets is not just great for getting dirt and stains out of your carpets, it’s also great for disinfecting your carpets. During a pandemic, keeping your family healthy from bacteria and viruses. Most cleaning products, including our Minneapolis carpet cleaning solution, have hydrogen peroxide, an effective disinfectant. 

About hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide has been used since the early 1800s. First, it was used to bleach clothing items but has been used to treat wounds and as a disinfectant. Even today it is used to keep cuts and other open wounds from getting an infection. While there are many uses for hydrogen peroxide, it is classified as a chemical and should always be used with caution. According to the Center for Disease Control, CDC, the chemical is tested and proven to remove bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeast, and fungi. 

How hydrogen peroxide kills viruses

When used properly, hydrogen peroxide breaks down the outer layer of a germ cell and works its way in. It will take away the essential parts of the germ until it is no longer a threat to humans and animals. Some studies, such as this one from 2018, have shown that hydrogen peroxide can be more effective at eliminating viruses than some household cleaning products. 

How carpet cleaning can help kill viruses in your home

Most homeowners will clean their kitchen table, countertops, and bathrooms on a regular basis. While regular vacuuming will get most dirt out of your carpets, viruses and bacteria can go deep into the fibers of your carpets and stay there unless treated. Keep your family from getting sick by cleaning out not just the surface but keep in your carpets.
