Allergies
It may not surprise you that dust and dirt in your carpets is a nightmare if you suffer from allergies. It encourages dust mites – microscopic organisms that feed on dead skin cells. Now, dust mites are usually harmless, and they’re so small that you won’t even notice they exist in normal circumstances. However, if they appear in great enough numbers, they can trigger quite severe allergies with similar symptoms to hayfever. Symptoms can range from mildly annoying, such as a runny nose and sore eyes, to more severe problems like throat inflammation and breathing difficulties.
When you vacuum or walk across a very dirty carpet, that can disturb the dust within, causing it to start circulating around the room again. This means you’re more likely to breathe it in, aggravating those allergies and giving you a real (sometimes literal) headache.
They Can Make You Ill
Dust mites aren’t the only living things that make their home in a dirty carpet. Bacteria and viral cells can be found there, too. As you might expect, these potentially harmful bacteria will waste no time in multiplying inside your carpet. If you notice a stale, musty smell coming from your carpet, it’s highly likely that bacteria in the pile is the culprit. In fact, studies have shown that your carpet has around 4,000 times more bacteria than your toilet seat!
