Some people judge cleanliness by sight. If everything looks okay, they assume that means it’s okay. They are subsequently surprised when their carpets become damaged and their Inglewood home is in disarray. There weren’t any stains or visible dust – so what happened?

You need to have a deep cleaning or steam cleaning done at least once a year for maximum cleanliness. Doing this is the best way to keep bacteria and other contaminants out of your home. But what actually lurks inside your unclean furniture? What do these contaminants ultimately look like?

Bacteria

Over time, bacteria will continue to multiply throughout your Inglewood home. Bacteria is abundant in pets, but there are always copious amounts of bacteria on your skin. This bacteria isn’t inherently harmful, but the right conditions can cause bacteria to thrive in your home.

If you leave messes around your home, specifically through water and food, you may have a bacteria problem growing somewhere. The circumstances that each bacteria thrives under change from species to species, so you need constant vigilance.

Dust Mites

Dust mites, like bacteria, need the right environment to survive. Unfortunately, the right circumstances for dust mites are unavoidable.

These mites don’t actually feed on “dust” but on skin flakes, which admittedly do make up a large percentage of dust. You obviously can’t avoid shedding skin flakes, so you can’t circumvent a growing problem of dust mites in your Inglewood home unless you clean the dust.

Oils

Oils come in from all over the place. You can pick them up from street tar when walking, and they can drip from cigarettes or oily foods. Most unavoidably, they’re again naturally produced by your skin.

When these oils get into fabrics, they start to create a yellow film over time. Eventually, the surfaces that they’re accumulating in will begin to discolor.

Grains

Gritty grains of sand, glass, rocks and other materials also get everywhere. You pick them up outdoors, whether it’s through cracked concrete, pavement, or even just dirt blowing through the air. Some particles are tiny and impossible to see, but they will still get into your home.

Fraying

Many of these contaminants will start to damage and fray your furniture. The more you walk on your carpets, sit on your couches, or lie on your mattress, the further you push these things in, creating friction against the fibers.

Much of this friction can be microscopic, but it will accumulate over time. If you never clean your home, these fibers will start to break off. This will be initially small, but it’ll increase over time until it’s an irreversible problem.

What To Do About It

You can call a professional Inglewood cleaning service regularly to eliminate these contaminants. A steam cleaning can kill bacteria and dust mites while lifting the oils and gritty materials from deep within. Deep cleaning destroys things more thoroughly than other cleaning methods, which is why getting one done is so important.
