Choosing the best Bradenton carpet cleaner

Ok, for the grand prize trivia question, which area in your house contains more bacteria...your carpet or your toilet seat?

No joke, the answer is your carpet. According to ehow.com, the average homeowners' carpet harbors about 200,000 bacteria on every square inch, about 4,000 times as much as their toilet seat. Skin cells, food particles, pollen, chemicals, pesticides, exhaust and other pollutants can all feed bacteria living in carpeting.

That's why it's a bad idea to wait until your carpet looks dirty to get it cleaned. Carpet cleaning isn't just about removing the surface dirt and spots, but getting these germs and bacteria beneath the surface.

Unfortunately, most vacuums and even most rental or over-the-counter carpet cleaning machines don't have the suction power, heat, or water pressure to remove all of these bacteria. Not even every carpet cleaner in your town is capable of this if he isn't using the right cleaners, equipment, or doesn't have proper training.

Besides hiring a capable carpet cleaner to deep steam clean your carpets at least once a year, what can you do? To lessen the amount of bacteria, remove shoes worn outside once inside your house. Use machine-washable rugs in high-traffic areas. This won't totally eliminate these pollutants, they still come in from your skin, hair, and clothes. But it will reduce them and help keep your home cleaner. Also vacuum at least once a week, more if you have children playing on your carpet.
