It’s Time for Spring Cleaning in Cincinnati

At last, spring has finally arrived in Cincinnati. The Reds are playing, Kings Island is open, and tomato plants are ready to go into the ground.

With the weather warming, and windows opening, it’s the perfect time to think about spring cleaning and an article from The Huffington Post – What’s Lurking In Your Carpet? A Spring Cleaning Guide. – notes importance of carpet cleaning.

Their advice is to vacuum your carpet at least once a week (something we have discussed) and get a professional cleaning every six months. The reason? Bacteria and allergens.  As they note –

“…microbiology research published in 2001 found an average indoor carpet to be about 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat, with about 200,000 bacteria per square inch, Men’s Health reports. And THAT is certainly something to think about.”

The article goes on to note that –

“…at-home carpet cleaning systems are NOT the way to go. They often leave a layer of moisture which Wilson refers to as ‘mold central.’ People who are allergic to mold can suffer from stuffed noses, irritated eyes, wheezing, or skin irritation, according to the CDC.”
