Moving into a new home is one of life’s most exciting moments, but it also comes with a list of hidden concerns. The walls may be freshly painted and the counters wiped down, yet the carpet is often overlooked. Carpets quietly collect dust, pet dander, allergens, and lingering odors from years of use by previous occupants.

At J Rex Cleaning Solutions, I am often called to handle jobs where health and safety are the top priorities. One recent project took me to MUMS Daycare in Mebane, NC, where I was asked to clean and sanitize 22 area rugs that see daily use by children.
