Some history on wall to wall carpet!

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN


Good morning!

Let's take a journey back in time! Wall-to-wall carpeting, the comfy staple of modern homes, has a fascinating history. It all started in the 19th century when folks craved warmth and style underfoot. Think about it: as cities buzzed with activity and homes flourished, people sought durable and chic floor coverings.

Enter the Axminster and Wilton weaving techniques, paving the way for intricate patterns and designs. Across the pond, the United States caught onto the trend, with brands like Mohawk and Shaw leading the charge. Fast forward to the post-World War II era, where synthetic fibers like nylon stole the show, making carpeting more affordable and resilient.

But it's not just about practicality. Wall-to-wall carpeting brings a touch of luxury to our spaces, offering insulation, sound absorption, and that cozy feel we crave. From bedrooms to living rooms, it's a timeless choice that adds warmth and personality to any room.

And guess what? The story doesn't end there! Today, we're witnessing a carpet comeback with eco-friendly materials, modular designs, and innovative treatments for easy maintenance. It's a blend of tradition and innovation, making our floors not just functional, but fabulous too!

From its humble beginnings to its status as a beloved household essential. Here's to comfort, style, and the timeless allure of a beautifully carpeted space! #CarpetcleaningNanaimo #CarpetcleaningLadysmith #CarpetcleaningNanooseBay #CarpetcleaningParksville #CarpetcleaningQualicumbeach








































0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas.
