At Jersey Steamer of Rumson NJ, we are always getting calls from folks who are about to have a baby asking whether or not steam cleaning the carpets regularly is a good move for a babyproofed home. As most parents and child experts can tell you, babyproofing a home is very important for a child’s safety and wellbeing. Typically, most people focus on making sure that the baby will have a lower chance of having unwanted bumps, scrapes, and accidents.
Always Safe for Baby’s and Pets
What many people forget, of course, is that babies often have very delicate immune systems. They often will chew, lick, and play with items that are unsanitary, simply because they don’t know any better. This means that babies will likely end up getting sick if they come into heavy contact with items that are soiled. One of the most frequently dirtied surfaces in any home also happens to be one of the hardest to clean without the help of a professional. Of course, we are talking about carpets and rugs.
One often believes that vacuuming, shampooing and even sweeping a rug can sanitize it. To a point, it does do some work. It may lift up some of the larger granules that a child can eat, and it also does refresh the carpet fibers from time to time. However, the germs and grime that isn’t as easy to pick up with a vacuum still remain. Germs are not typically killed by a vacuum, and in many cases, those rug shampooers that regular Joes may use rented don’t do too much, either.
Professional carpet cleaning is the best and most efficient way to get rid of the germs that pose a health risk to those who stay close to your floors. If you want to get rid of the grime and germs that can be a potential health risk to your child, steam cleaning your carpet is the way to go. The heat of the steam kills germs while also avoiding the use of potentially toxic chemicals that have been known to irritate sensitive skin. That’s why many of the babyproofing companies out in Long Branch, Rumson, and Keyport tend to recommend us to customers who are about to have a baby, or for customers who have a toddler who is just learning how to walk.
