6 Warnings your Sofa and Carpet Isn't Telling you!

Did you know that microbiologists found out that the average family sofa has a bacterial count that’s shockingly 12 times more contaminated than the typical toilet seat?

According to the research of Philip Tierno, Jr., Ph.D., author of the book The Secret Life of Germs, there are probably 200,000 bacteria per square inch on a sofa, which is about 4,000 times dirtier than a regular toilet seat. Some of the germs found in a typical sofa and carpet can cause serious illness towards people who don’t regularly clean their household textiles.

One of the germs found in a regular sofa and carpet is known as Norovirus. Norovirus can cause stomach flu and other digestive problems. It can survive for almost two months and could turn into an airborne illness once someone walks on the carpet or placed their shoulders on the arm sofa. There can be 50 colonies of Acinetobacter Schlinderi hiding in your sofa that can cause life-threatening infections.

Salmonella is also found and can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. This is especially dangerous to young children and elderly adults since they have a weak immune system. Salmonella can’t only be found in contaminated food, but also on carpet and bottoms of shoes.

Dust mites, yeasts, and moulds are also found and could be a possible reason for serious health conditions for people. These can worsen the illness of anyone who has a respiratory illness like asthma or lead to different situations like acquiring skin infections and pneumonia. The notorious methicillin-resistant, found in curtains, can bring harmful germs and cause damaging infection if it’s not cleaned properly and left hanging for months.

According to cleaning experts, upholstery cleaning should be done every 6-12 months for both hygienic reasons and appearance. Seeking cleaning experts is the cleverest way of making sure that the unseen dirt and bacteria that have built up in your sofa are regularly cleaned, especially if any member of the family is prone to allergies or asthma.

For carpet cleaning, if carpet owners either have children or pets, it is recommended to have it cleaned every 2-3 months since children or pets might carry germs from playing outside the house that might actually cause dangerous illness.

As you may already know, curtains are not just the kind of fixture you add to make your home more aesthetically pleasing. More than ever, it serves as your shade during the summer season, provides privacy all throughout the day, and most importantly, protect you and your family from harmful rays of the sun and dust and other allergens that can cause respiratory illness.

Thus, it is only reasonable that you guarantee that the materials and texture of your curtains will be cleaned with utmost care to maintain its quality and serve its purpose effectively. Here are some tips that you may adapt in taking care of your curtains:

Dust Care

To remove accumulated dust from a curtain, you may either shake it gently or use a vacuum cleaner especially if the curtains are made from thick material.

Washing of Curtains

Washing curtains depends on the material, color and other embellishments (e.g. sequins, laces) that make up the curtains. Always ready the fabric label to determine the type of cleaning it requires. Avoid using strong detergents as it can dull the color of the curtain and even shrink the material. Also, after drying, make sure that it is not directly under the heat of the sun as it can affect the quality of curtains (e.g. faded color).

Pressing of Curtains

In pressing or ironing of curtains, always turn it inside out with the iron on a low setting to prevent fabric from being damaged. You may also try to dip sheer curtains, if you have one, in starch mixture before hanging it. Through this method, you would not need to iron it anymore especially because it is made out of thin material.

Another method of keeping the crisp condition of sheer curtains is letting it soaked in water with Epsom salt for a few minutes or so before hanging it.

Spot-Cleaning

If your curtains have accumulated stains, putting it in the machine alone would not be effective. It is ideal to do a spot-cleaning first to provide the necessary cleaning that can thoroughly clean the stain.

Seek professional care

Definitely not the least, seeking professional care is one of the cost-effective ways in keeping your curtain tidy inside and out at all times. These professionals are trained in tending to any stains your curtains may have accumulated and are knowledgeable enough to determine the type of cleaning it needs.

As much as we keep our clothes clean, we should also remember that our environment also affects our well-being. No matter how clean our rooms are, if the air that revolves around has accumulated dirt due to uncleaned curtains, there is likely a probability that we can acquire unforeseen illness or allergies.
