Great time to Clean and Sanitize your Home
Pesky Germs can hide anywhere in your home. Carpets, Rugs, hard-surface countertops, doorknobs, and even upholstery can harbor germs, bacteria, and allergens. If there are items that get used a lot in your home, you should clean them daily. During the flu season, consider having your carpets and tile floors cleaned by a professional company such as Pacific Steam Carpet Cleaning. Our hot water extraction process uses high temperatures to thoroughly rinse and remove soil, allergens, and buildup—helping support a cleaner indoor environment. According to the CDC, temperatures between 167 and 212°F are required to kill the flu virus.
What Kills Influenza Virus?
The influenza virus is destroyed by heat (167-212°F [75-100°C]). In addition, several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols are effective against human influenza viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time.

Cleaning and disinfecting help prevent the Spread of Sickness
We recommend vacuuming the carpet in your home 2-3 times weekly, and once daily in high-traffic areas. Vacuuming will help remove some germs, dust, and allergens from the carpet's surface. However, germs and soil deeper within the carpet fibers require professional carpet steam cleaning to remove.
Too often, our carpeting, bedding, and other soft fabrics go unnoticed during cleaning and sanitizing to limit the spread of influenza (flu) or other cold and stomach bugs, or to clean up after they enter our lives. Much of the time, hard surfaces like countertops, hard-surface flooring, and surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens are the first to be cleaned and disinfected. But this is not the time to lose sight of the importance of cleaning our carpets, rugs, mattresses, and fine fabric upholstery. Do not let your carpets and upholstery become hiding spots for pesky, problematic bacteria and germs that can spread to others in the home.
Follow these tips to remove germs, pathogens, and allergens from your home’s soft surfaces:
- The best thing you can do is Vacuum using a strong sealed HEPA vacuum to remove debris, dust, and airborne particles that can cause problems in the home. Professional Carpet Cleaning is a great way to be proactive in removing lingering pathogens on your surfaces.
- Schedule your upholstery cleaning by Pacific Steam Professionals. This can help remove any lingering germs and pathogens from surfaces that someone with the Flu or Cold may have slept on or has rested on.
