Traditionally, families with small children have their carpets cleaned frequently. Kids can be rough on carpet. Everything from juice and ice cream to playground sand and muddy footprints can get ground into the carpet, leaving them dirty and unattractive. In fact, no matter how many rules are established about no cups without lids in the family room, the grape juice still stains. Requests to remove shoes before entering the house always go unheeded and the dirt and stains seem to find the carpet. Staying on top of the mess, including carpet cleaning, can be a full time job.
Families with new babies especially need clean carpet. No one wants to put a new baby on dirty carpet or, worse, have a crawling infant get their hands dirty while learning a playing or learning to crawl. However, recent reports in the news have led to concerns about the harsh chemicals used in carpet cleaning and the possible health effects. Infants and small children are especially susceptible to strong chemicals. Many parents have actively sought solutions to this scary dilemma. Some have rented bulky machines and tried to find time to clean their own carpets using a variety of green products available in retail stores. Others have gone to extremes and chosen to replace carpet with wood or tile to ensure their family’s safety.
