Pandemic Tips: Keeping Your Carpet Pathogen Free

With the lockdowns beginning to be eased and with new fears of a second wave of the novel coronavirus erupting some time in the next year, it’s more important than ever to make sure your home isn’t a repository for new and old pathogens. Most people have the basics down: sanitize everything that comes into your house and make sure you’re washing your hands and wearing masks and gloves when going out shopping.

What many people don’t realize is that their carpets are the items that need to be the most closely watched, as carpet fibers are effectively giant dusters that capture and retain every kind of particle imaginable: pollutants, dust, dirt, and a variety of discomforting allergens. Not only can these particles induce adverse allergic reactions, a variety of airborne pathogens can latch onto these airborne particulates and are just waiting to be kicked up by someone walking on them and get breathed in by an unsuspecting passerby.

Your carpets need to be cleaned regularly in order to make sure they are as sterile as every other hard surface in your home, and to get this job done right, the right help is needed. That’s why we’re spotlighting Renewed Carpet Care of Rancho Santa Margarita for this post, as they’ve been solidly recommended to us by a number of trusted partners.

Their Yelp page contains a number of exceptional reviews, giving testimony to their thoroughness and the quality of their work. Lisa from Trabuco Canyon has this to say about their ability to rejuvenate older carpets here:

“Stephen Otis from Renewed Carpet Care showed up on time, was professional, friendly, courteous, fair priced and worked hard to get out stains as it has been 4 years since our last carpet cleaning. As the stains needed extra work it did not dry in 1-2 hours, but with ceiling fan on the bedroom will be dry to sleep in.

We have two dogs so I was pleased that the cleaning is safe for Family and Pets. Stephen is also certified, licensed and insured and I highly recommend their pet odor deodorizer, it has a clean laundry smell?

According to Stephen, carpets with a family and pets last about 10 years. My carpet is older and it looks like with Stephen’s service we can keep going for more years. Don’t be afraid to ask him to touch up less expensive rugs as he gave us a fair price and they look great! Our sectional couch was also cleaned and if you have dogs that scratch their backs, back and forth, on the skirts you need to call Stephen at Renewed Carpet Care!”

Jennifer remarks on how they can spruce up an older home here:

“I reached out to Stephen after we got a door hang tag advertisement.  I was very pleased that he totally honored the price and gave me a reasonable quote on the additional pieces I wanted cleaned.  My family room furniture hasn’t looked this good since I bought it 4 years ago!  He was prompt and completed all 4 pieces in less than 2 hours which included working double-duty on an old stain on one of the couch cushions.  He almost got it completely out too!  I was stunned.  I would not hesitate to use Stephen again and would recommend him to anyone.  You won’t be sorry for doing business with Renewed Carpet Care.”
