What is lingering in your bathroom? Most people readily understand there are germs, bacteria, and other foreign contaminants you don’t really want to think about. Most of the time, we just assume those foreign materials are remaining where they are, in the bathroom, around the toilet, around the toilet seat, in the tub, and so on. However, sometimes (and often times) those foreign particulates get dragged out into the rest of the house.
It could be on your shoes. It could be on socks. It could be on slippers or bare feet. It could get caught in clothing. Where do you put your clean clothes when you go to take a shower? Most people might put it on the top of the toilet seat (the closed lid) or the sink. If any part of the clothing touches a dirty surface, it is collecting some of that bacteria, some of those germs. Suddenly all of those particulates are getting dragged out of the room and into the rest of the house.
It’s getting caught on carpeting and furniture.
That sounds disgusting, doesn’t it? However, that’s exactly what happens every single day. Most people just don’t want to think about it. However, even if you are vacuuming regularly, you vacuum and wash down your furniture (washing down the leather furniture and vacuuming the cloth material), it’s not getting everything up.
A lot of it will get stuck in the fibers, especially the carpet fibers. They get trapped in there and even the strongest residential vacuum cleaner cannot get it out. Then, when somebody walks on the surface of the carpet, they are kicking up some of that bacteria and germs into the air. Then, you and other people in your house, family or friends, are inhaling it.
Just because you think something is staying in the bathroom doesn’t mean it is. That’s why it’s so important to keep up with the cleanliness and to consider a professional carpet cleaning service at least annually to keep you and your family healthier and safer.
