How Clean Floors Can Help Prevent Cold & Flu Spread
As the weather cools down and flu season begins, many of us take extra steps to stay healthy, like washing our hands more often or taking vitamins. But what about your floors?
Believe it or not, your carpet and hard surfaces could be harboring germs that increase your chances of getting sick.
At Maxcare, we believe a clean home is a healthier home, especially during cold and flu season.
The Hidden Germs Beneath Your Feet
Every day, your floors collect:
Bacteria from shoes
Droplets from sneezes and coughs
Food spills and pet accidents
Moisture that promotes mold and mildew
These contaminants get trapped in carpet fibers or settle on hard flooring, where they can survive for days or even weeks.
Why Regular Cleaning Isn’t Enough
Sweeping and mopping help with surface-level dirt, but they don’t fully sanitize. Over time, buildup occurs, and bacteria can multiply, especially in high-touch and high-traffic areas.
Maxcare’s professional cleaning services go beyond the basics to sanitize and protect your space.
Our Deep Cleaning Process
For carpets, we use hot water extraction and safe cleaning agents that:
Penetrate deep into fibers
Kill germs and bacteria
Remove allergens and odors
For hard floors, we use specialized tools that:
Remove sticky residue and grime
Reach into tile grout and textured surfaces
Leave surfaces clean and streak-free
We also offer sanitizing solutions that kill germs on contact, perfect for families with young kids, elderly members, or anyone immunocompromised.
Cleaning for Homes and Businesses
Whether you’re caring for your family or managing a business, keeping your space clean is a smart step during flu season.
Our services are ideal for:
Homes
Daycares
Offices
Churches
Restaurants
Medical offices
You can even schedule recurring cleanings to keep your space protected throughout the season.
