Family is an important part of any Minneapolis home, and September is Baby Safety Month. If you are starting a family, there are things you will have to do to make sure your new little one is safe. There are many things around your home that you can make safe for your baby, and one of those things is to get your carpet and upholstered furniture cleaned. There are many health benefits for your baby by getting a professional clean.

Bacteria and viruses

Carpet and upholstery cleaning removes bacteria and viruses that get caught in your carpet and upholstery fibers. In places with a lot of foot traffic, there will be more bacteria and viruses that have been tracked in from places you’ve been. As adults, you have become accustomed to common bacteria. Babies have weaker immune systems, so a deep clean can help your baby stay healthy.

Allergens

Carpets are notorious for collecting dust, dirt, and mold if in damp conditions. Not only can they carry bacteria and viruses, they can also cause allergies and asthma. The dust and dirt irritates a young child’s lungs, which leads to asthma. Learn more about this with an interview from a doctor on WebMD. Carpet and upholstery cleaning picks up allergens so that your kids can breathe safely. 

Chemicals

When you get carpet and upholstery cleaning, there are warnings against using cleaners with chemicals. At Lucas Family Carpet Cleaning, we use a unique method that cleans your carpets without harsh chemicals and low moisture. This makes it healthier and has faster drying times.
