Not everything is known yet about the disease known as the Corona Virus or Covid-19. However, of the information we do know, carpet and upholstery cleaning and sanitizing is helpful.
Here are a few of the ways:
Cleaning at temperatures above 140 degrees begin to kill bacteria. The higher the temperature, the higher the percentage of bacteria is killed.
Applying an anti-bacterial enzyme deodorizer will eat away organic bacteria.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning sucks up the majority of dust and other allergens from carpet, chairs, mattresses, and other fabric surfaces.
How do these help in the fight against Covid-19?
By killing organic bacteria through heat and live enzymes, you are less likely to get sick from those bacteria. As a result, if you do get sick from Covid-19, your body will be more equipped to focus it’s attention on The Corona Virus, instead of fighting off what you caught from your dirty carpet or upholstery.
It has been documented that people with other asthma and other respiratory issues are placed in the high risk category of the corona virus. By removing dust and other allergens from the carpet and upholstery, your indoor air quality is improved. As a result, asthma flare-ups and other allergy related respiratory issues are reduced as well.
Of course we cannot promise that The Corona Virus known as Covid-19 will be eliminated by carpet or upholstery cleaning. What we are saying is that, based on what we have learned so far, a healthy body, especially the respiratory system, seems to be a big factor in how severe the effects of Covid-19 are on those that come down with it. Both Homes and Businesses can benefit greatly from clean carpet, upholstery and higher air quality in the best of times. Right now, during the fight against Covid-19, carpet and upholstery is a great investment in health, wellbeing and piece of mind.
