Most of us probably wear nothing but socks indoors on an average day. But to each their own, for some prefer to be barefoot or wear indoor shoes or slippers. Regardless of how many layers you have on your feet, what is of real concern is the number of layers of substances that may be lurking in your home, embedded in the floors. Here are three substances to hire carpet and tile cleaners to remove.

Soap Scum

Soap scum is what is left behind after any washing activity and is typically a combination of  soap and dirt. This type of buildup can commonly be found in showers and bathtubs. These substances can be transported to the floors over time and without professional cleaning services, you may find yourself having to deal with water damage repairs or general uncleanliness in your bathroom. Grout is a great protector of the gaps in tile, but water and its solutes will find their way into any crack.

Debris

Carpets are catch-alls first and foremost. Once a substance becomes trapped in a carpet, it can stay there for quite some time. Think of everything that could become lost in your carpet simply because you can't see or extract it as well as you could with tile or wood flooring. Crumbs, dead skin, hair, lint, and plenty more all stick around in your carpet. The average person sheds 1.5 million skin cells in an hour, and most of those can end up in your carpeting, according to Brandon Gaille. Without carpet cleaning services, they can trap substances, such as pet hair and dust, that later lead to allergy problems or respiratory problems.

Dirt

Some people are sterner about wearing shoes in the house than others. This rule is a good one to follow, though. Tile cleaners are obviously necessary when we see the brown filth tracked through the house, but there are many more things than just the dirt itself being carried indoors. Germs from animals and insects stick to the bottoms of shoes, and moisture as well. Bringing water inside can wreak havoc wherever it touches if left neglected.

Rather than pay the price when you have to fix ruined carpets or water-damaged floors, regularly hire tile cleaners and carpet steamers to give your home a thorough scrub. Think of everything you'd be walking on barefoot if you never cleaned your floors! Have the team at Tetris Cleaning Services clean your floors so that you keep your home and family safe and healthy.
