Have you decided to carpet your office floors? Carpet’s can add to the room’s appeal; however, they require constant maintenance and cleaning.

Carpets are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Generally, carpets contain 2000 bacteria per square inch!

In this blog post, we’ll discuss how unclean carpets can impact your health.

What Are Carpet Allergies?

Unclean office carpets gradually accumulate dirt and dust. Moreover, they house allergens, which trigger allergies.

Even if you’re regularly vacuuming your carpets, there may be a presence of allergens. You need a professional’s assistance to allergen-proof the carpets.

Causes Of Carpet Allergies

Dust mites and microscopic pests are found in carpets if they haven’t been deep cleaned for a long time. These pests trigger allergies, especially in people with weak immune systems.

Symptoms Of Carpet Allergies

84% of Americans suffer from allergies caused by dust mites. Dust mites can, in turn, trigger asthma symptoms.

Some other symptoms that result from allergies are sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and cough. These symptoms may occur due to other reasons, too, so you can’t be sure without consulting a doctor.

When an unclean office environment starts impacting your employees’ health, they will begin to leave.
