This is what you should do. 1. No shoes in the house. 2. Leave carpets for bedrooms only 3. Vacuum carpets weekly 4. Mop or vacuum tiles or floorboards as much as possible or as soon as you notuce dust. Carpets act like a filter but hard floors don't and so kicked up dust from hard floors linger in the air and enter your lungs. 5. Steam clean carpets, mats, and area rugs once every 6-12 months. 6. Try and wipe your pets feet and try to keep them clean before letting them in.
Did you watch the video? It says to be safe, steam clean carpets every month! I’m happy to see carpet is just beginning to go out of style because it is not healthy. Keeping healthy carpets is very expensive and time consuming. The really sad part is how carpeting became popular in shops, doctors offices, and churches 😢
@@MelanieH1422, no steam cleaning your carpets monthly would destroy them. Just because a video says something doesn't make it right. I manage buildings so I think I know how to deal with carpets.
As a former carpet cleaner this is the best answer! You have to hold the water in a sterile holding tank otherwise this experiment is useless. You could pour clean water into a holding tank and come up with positive test. Also the carpet cleaners wand and hoses have to be new and never used. 🤕Not to say they don't have bacteria in their carpet but the test is totally flawed.
This dude. I do it for a living and can say no one empties, rinses, scrubs and bleaches every time. Maybe once every 3 to 6 months depending. I often empty the tank and occasionally blast water through it to rinse. That's it. Lol we clean up EVERYTHING with it.
This is a no brainer. OBVIOUSLY carpets can make people sick. We used to have carpet throughout most of the house but thankfully got rid of ALL of it. 😊👏🏻 I'm one of those people who absolutely HATES carpets and would absolutely, flat-out refuse to live on it again. Just nope! 🙅♀️ Give me hardwood flooring or linoleum any day over carpet.
My whole house is linoleum, and i have a small area rug in the living room. Much better to deal with a few small rugs than a whole house of carpet! @randomrazr
I once had a carpet that caused some allergic reactions to my skin for months. Visited several doctors with no cure until one GP told me to get rid of my carpet. Since then, the allergy has gone and I have never suffered it again for the past 16 years.
Growing up I was always raised to never walk barefoot in a hotel room. When I was younger i questioned it and thought it was silly. But now I’m older and completely understand why
Tips from vacuum vet here. Keep your shoes outside. Shampoo 2 to 4 times a year. More if you have pets. Vacuum 2 times a week. Have a spot cleaner to remove stains before they set. Use a vacuum with a hepa sealed filter system.
Leaving shoes outside allows germ ridden roaches & other bugs and insects to crawl inside of them! If you don't have a mud room, just place an adequate size shoe rack by the door to hold the shoes! Keep the area where you step inside with your shoes mopped or vacuumed!
Still nasty knowing there’s a bunch of trapped dirt and bacteria within the carpet though. Sure I can live a long life if I never showered but it’s still gross
@@Warp2090 regular vacuums do nothing to throughly disinfect a floor though 🤦♂️. All they do is pick up dirt. They do nothing to disinfect bacteria tracked from the bathroom or especially public places. You can mitigate this issue by leaving shoes at the door but its difficult for families with lots of kids
@@Impishsheep better as long as it’s a disinfect shampoo and not regular shampoo plus it’s a lot of work to be shampooing and extracting the carpet even once of a month let alone weekly or biweekly. You can probably disinfect and mop a hard wood floor in a single room in 5 min or less whereas if it were carpet it would probably take 30min to an hour to properly do it plus the way longer drying time
It’s funny that they show a cheap Bissell vacuum while saying ” get a high quality, hepa vacuum.” A quality vacuum is not what you can buy at your local department store, go to a vacuum store! Most vacuum stores carry these three main quality brands: Miele, Sebo, and Riccar!
You need a high airflow vacuum like a Sanitaire or Kirby, maybe a old school Hoover. Here’s one misconception people have about vacuum cleaners, suction doesn’t pick up the dirt, airflow and agitation does. Suction does pick up dirt to a degree but more so maintains airflow. Suction aka vacuum is a negative pressure, not a movement. You got to move the air in order to pick up the dirt.
@@seana806 I agree with the Kirby or Sanitaire, but the average audience of Inside Edition would not know what to do with either of these. They will probably end up picking something to break the fan, then it will be the case that “Kirby makes a bad vacuum .” The typical is ignorant to the fact that you must watch what you pick up, so the bypass system is much safer. I have access to both direct air and bypass, I would choose direct air if given a choice.
You could probably do that same test on any hardwood or laminate floor and find similar kinds of results. The big thing is they don't say in what quantity etc. Yes carpets will hold more, but it feels like there might be a bit of fear mongering. After all I bet if they reran the steam cleaner within even half an hour of cleaning it they would find similar results.
This is why I don’t understand how people can comfortably have so much carpet and have dogs at the same time. Who wants to put up with maintenance of carpets. Carpet can get so dingy so quickly. You shoes, and sweaty feet.

Buy your own new steam cleaner and clean it. Don’t use a company that uses the same machines on everyone’s home. And definitely don’t rent a cleaner like the carpet doctor.
I feel like I'm the only one who grew up with a mom who shampooed the carpet. There is no way this many people have never known to shampoo their carpet.
Ruggable is a fantastic solution if you really want to have something over a portion of your non-carpeted floors. You just pick that thing up off the pad, throw it into the washing machine and it’s done.
It’s not fair to say that about the carpet of course it’s going to have all that stuff on it. Think about what you do with your carpet you walk on it where do your shoes go everywhere? as long as you don’t eat the carpet, you’re OK. Think about it this way how many decades have Americans had carpet in their homes? Now how often do you see people getting sick from carpet exactly now you know it’s not that big of a deal.
I came back from a trip to Japan and the shoe thing is real. The floors in that house stayed clean and when we cleaned them it really glowed. I do the same now in the States.
When I first came to US I was shocked that homes were built with carpet. Maybe its cheaper but then some people choose to replace it with carpet again eventually. And then they bring in their shoes inside the house and lay down on it. Crazy.
I am American and i never wear shoes inside my home, not even socks. It is healthier for the foot’s musculature and bone health as well, and lessens the likelihood of developing foot fungus. i only wear shoes if I am on public property
remember the American movies and TV shows where teens where their shoes on bed? IDK if that reflects in real life. imaging smearing chewed gum or dog poo a bed
If those of use who have tile floors have to mop/sweep/vacuum everyday (because you see/feel every crumb), I can imagine the same stuff is on our carpeted floors.
People all over the world have said this to people in commonwealth countries(the places most likely to have this kind of carpet on their floors and walk with outdoor shoes in side) for decades now. It's not to be mean, and your floors will get dirty even if you have no fuzzy carpet don't walk with shoes on inside, but it gets soooo much worse! :)
Bought engineered hardwood flooring for my bedroom and gonna install it within the next two weeks. Every time I vacuum there is a bunch of fine dust in the vacuum canister.
