Hiring a Cleaning Service to Clean Your Home Could Cause Fleas

by KristinaBrown

Imagine hiring someone to infest your home with fleas, dust mites, allergens and more! Believe it or not many Americans do! Hiring a cleaning service to clean your home could cause dust mites find a new home and use your carpeting, upholstery and more as a nesting ground. I will now explain why you may want to reconsider hiring your cleaning lady.

Damages Paint " Many cleaning services do not treat their vacuum cleaners with respect, so what are the odds that they will treat your house with respect. Not very good. Many families that hire a cleaning service are frustrated by the way they treat they house and furniture. Dont let it happen to you, take the safest route; vacuum yourself.

Infestation of Skin-Eating Bugs " Yes, hiring a cleaning service can potentially cause your house to be infested with tiny mites that feed on your skin. But dont worry they only eat dead skin (A.K.A. - Dust). However if you have bad allergies or are not sure if you have bad allergies be aware that dust-mites can cause you to itch, scratch and sneeze. Also when you house becomes a safe-haven for dust-mites all they do is eat, multiply and defecate. So every time you walk on your carpet, sleep on your bed or sit on the couch, you will probably be sitting in a pile of dust-mite poo.

Dont Share " Sometimes it is good to share. Other times it is not. Would you ever share your toothbrush? Or your razor? Or the contacts in your eyes (If you have any)? Why? What makes other instances different? You do not want to share certain things because you know that as long as only you use it you will not catch any illnesses or cooties from another person. It is really not much different when it comes to vacuuming. Do you really want to share something that could infect your house with fleas? Yes, fleas! Fleas can travel from dog to dog, or house to house or dog to house, etc. Allowing someone to use a shared vacuum cleaner in your house could potentially infest your home with fleas.

Probably Not Doing a Great Job " A lot of times a cleaning service just vacuums so your home looks good but not so it is actually clean. When many people vacuum they make sure they get crevices, ceilings and more because they want to do a good job. Watch out for cleaning services that only clean the tip of the iceberg.

Allergies and Asthma " Do you have allergies or asthma? If so, then you need a vacuum cleaner that is capable of truly filtering out the particles found in the air. Many cleaning services use vacuum cleaners that barely filter and actually pollute the air in your house by redistributing all of the dirt and dust the machine picked up back into the air. So if you have allergies make sure the vacuum being used in your house is filtering properly.

With cleaning services priced at about an average of $75 a week you may not be getting your moneys worth. Most people would agree that fleas, allergies and beat up walls are not worth over $3000 a year. In fact using that money towards a vacuum that will truly clean your floors and last you 20-25 years, such as the Miele, would save you from a dust mite infestation, allergies and thousands of dollars.
