Our carpets are the very definition of home. We play on them, we wrestle with our kids on them and they are one of our favorite places to stretch out and take a well-deserved nap.

 

Because we live, breathe and often eat around them, it makes sense that our health is directly connected to their cleanliness. Most of us don’t realize our carpets are the home’s largest air filter, capturing dust, allergens, dirt and oils along the way. This is why April has been named National Carpet Cleaning Month.

 

You might be thinking, “Why does carpet cleaning need its own month?” Well, for one thing, the Carpet and Rug Institute recommends you have your carpets cleaned annually for optimal carpet care. And, let’s face it, most of us aren’t very good about consistently cleaning our carpets. Most carpets are lucky to get a consistent vacuuming.

 

With winter just finishing up, April is the perfect time to do a little spring cleaning, giving you a healthier home from the floor up.

 

Stain resistance is another reason to get your carpets cleaned regularly. As your carpet ages, the stain fighting protectants that came from the carpet mill begin to wear off, leaving your carpets vulnerable to staining. The good news is that a new application of Chem-Dry’s lab-tested Protectants gives your carpets an invisible shield from the world of dirt and grime, keeping them looking beautiful, even with the occasional spill.

 

Because of Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonating Extraction, cleaning your carpets doesn’t have to be an all-day event—giving you a deep, beautiful clean that dries in just one to two hours. And, because the Hot Carbonating Extraction uses only one-fifththe water of other carpet-cleaning methods, there’s no risk of excess water becoming a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

 

All ingredients used in Chem-Dry’s basic cleaning application are Green Certified. This means each has been tested against dermal and oral toxicity. Because none of the ingredients are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), they do not pose a threat to the environment—making them not only safer for your family, but for the earth as well.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Join Chem-Dry in celebrating National Carpet Cleaning Month and enjoy a healthy home from the floor up.
