Can Covid-19 Survive on Upholstery and Mattresses?

Perhaps even more effectively than carpets, this virus can indeed live on upholstery and your mattress for days. Simply applying disinfectants to these surfaces can be ineffective and not long-lasting, in addition to potentially causing damage to the surfaces.

Effective cleaning with the proper chemicals and procedures can ensure that the virus is eliminated from these surfaces and the structures are kept free from potential damage.

Your mattress, in particular, is a highly contagious structure if the virus happens to find its way onto this surface. You spend hours each night in your bed, and contracting the virus if it is present on the mattress is almost certain.

Cleaning Myths Debunked: Carpets

Myth #1
Your carpet is dirtier than a toilet seat!
TRUE Typical carpet contains roughly 200,000 bacteria per square inch on average, making it technically 4,000 times germ-ier than a toilet seat. Most toilet seats are smooth, sealed surfaces that get cleaned and disinfected regularly, whereas many consumers wait years between professional carpet cleanings.
Myth #2
2,000 dust mites can survive on a single ounce of carpet dust.
TRUE While dust mites will gladly set up shop in mattresses and furniture, they are particularly fond of carpets due to their buffet of foods and the reasonably protected environment (you wash sheets regularly…carpets, not so much). If anyone in your home has a dust mite allergy, stick to hard-surface floors and washable area rugs as much as possible, especially in bedrooms where human dander is most prevalent.
Myth #3
Norovirus can live for up to two weeks in carpet.
TRUE This should be a death knell for the 5 Second Rule where food and carpets are concerned! Studies prove that norovirus can live for over 12 days in even regularly vacuumed carpeting. If your family seems particularly prone to stomach bugs, get carpets steam cleaned at a temperature of at least 158° F for five minutes or 212° F for one minute to completely kill off norovirus.
Myth #4
Vacuuming regularly is a sufficient way to cope with germs trapped in carpets.
FALSE Even the most powerful vacuums struggle to extract dirt and germs from the base of carpet fibers.

À quelle fréquence devriez-vous changer votre linge de lit ?

Bactéries, saletés et champignons trouvent quotidiennement refuge sous votre couette et peuvent avoir des conséquences indésirables sur votre santé. Laver vos draps deux fois par mois est recommandé pour assainir votre lit.

Bactéries et allergènes peuplent votre lit

Nombreux sont ceux qui ignorent que lorsqu'ils se glissent dans leurs draps le soir, ils tiennent compagnie à des millions de microscopiques habitants, signe qu'il est temps de changer leurs draps. Selon un sondage mené par l'institut YouGov, environ 33 % des Britanniques lavent leur linge de lit toutes les semaines, 35 % toutes les deux semaines. 8 % accomplissent cette tâche toutes les trois semaines et 10 % tous les mois. Les célibataires semblent moins pointilleux sur la propreté de leurs draps, puisque selon une précédente étude menée en 2013, les hommes vivant seuls ne les changeraient que quatre fois par an.

Pourtant, tarder à laver ses draps pourrait bien être dangereux pour votre santé. Au fil du temps,votre linge de lit et votre matelas se peuplent en effet de divers champignons, bactéries, poussière ou autres pollens et allergènes, nocifs pour votre organisme.

Pour votre santé, lavez vos draps toutes les deux semaines

Durant la nuit, votre transpiration et vos fluides corporels se déposent dans votre lit. Peau morte, cosmétiques, saletés transportées par les pieds sont autant de souvenirs de votre journée qui termineront sous votre couette et seront susceptibles de provoquer des allergies, voire même des infections dans certains cas extrêmes.

Les punaises de lit son également fréquentes et provoquent chez leurs victimes des démangeaisons. S'il est difficile de s'en débarrasser, une récente étude a prouvé que ces dernières étaient tout particulièrement attirées par les draps aux couleurs foncées. Conclusion : pour éviter la compagnie de ces insectes indésirables, choisissez des draps clairs. Si vous voulez être épargné par les bactéries et autres allergènes dans votre lit, lavez ces draps au minimum une fois toutes les deux semaines.

Summer is one of the busiest times of year in homes. While the hot season means there are many fun activities both indoors out in the backyard, your home will take a beating from the extra traffic, leaving your rugs and furnishings worse for wear. Here are some reasons why summer carpet cleaning is a great call to make.

Summer Vacation for the Kids

With the kids home for months of summer vacation, carpets don’t get much down time. Summer is the time of adventure for children. Whether that means explorations in the backyard or added time for playing indoors, your home’s rugs will reflect this added stress in summer months. Scheduling a cleaning will keep the most damaging dirt particles out of your carpet fibers so things don’t get worse.

The Time for Cookouts

Belgium-area residents have plenty of opportunities for grilling in the backyard. Part of the fun of cookouts is sharing your home with friends and relatives. While more people make memorable events, they also increase the chances of spills when visitors head inside for a refill on cocktails or sodas.

Bringing the Beach Back Home

No beach trip is complete without bringing some sand back in shoes, sandals, bags, swimsuits, and everything else involved with summer fun. Most homeowners would agree the memories are enough without dealing with sand back in your home. Like standard dirt, sand particles cut through fabrics, making wear appear earlier than it should on your home’s carpets. Summer carpet cleaning helps limit the impact of sand and other debris.

A Busy Summer for Pets, Too

Like their caretakers, dogs and cats are quite active in the warmest months of the year. Cats with a taste for the outdoors are often on the hunt for birds and other small animals, while dogs typically find their own series of adventures in summer. If your pets also spend time indoors, your carpet will be much worse off after their outdoor activity. Properly scheduled cleanings will help ensure the odors and bacteria do not stay inside your home long-term.

Showing Off Your Home in Social Seasons

Summertime is probably one the times of year you’re more likely to have friends and family visit your home. Clean carpets show off your house in its finest moment. New carpet cleaning techniques have the ability to remove stubborn spots and traffic lanes with the use of EMPOWERED WATER™. Instead of cleaning a rug with shampoos and soaps that leave residue behind to collect more dirt, the technique used by ECONDT reaches a deeper level of clean that lasts longer.
