A MUM has illustrated the importance of regularly cleaning your carpet after she revealed the filth lurking in her floors despite vacuuming them once a week.
As her eldest suffers with asthma, she regularly cleans the house and vacuums the carpet to get rid of any dust lurking in them.
But despite sticking to a strict cleaning schedule, she shared a clip online showing the stomach-churning amount of filth and dirt lurking in the carpet after giving her floor a steam clean.
She uploaded a clip to Facebook group Mums Who Clean, showing her emptying the murky water from her Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner.
She said: “Waiting for the day it’s not so dirty.
“My oldest suffers with bad asthma so I do the carpets every weekend or every second weekend. Depends on work.”
The water is a dark brown shade, and the clip also shows the grime left in the sink after the filthy water drains away.
She revealed that as she rents, she’s not able to ditch the carpet in favour of wooden floors or tiles to make it easier to clean.
She added: “If we owned I would pull it out in a heartbeat.”
Her post has racked up dozens of shocked comments, as fellow mums feared their own carpets were harbouring layers of grime.
One mum said: “Well that makes me feel like a grot.
“My carpet is five years old and I just vacuum one to two times a week, though have been thinking to have it professionally cleaned soon.”
Another said: “If I had a kid with asthma, I would definitely pull up and replace with floorboards.”
While a third recommended she change her vacuum, saying: “I would say that your vacuum is not picking up enough dirt, that’s why you need to shampoo so often.”
Meanwhile this woman strip washed her fluffy pink rug with Zoflora and is stunned by how filthy it is.
