WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VIRUS AND A BACTERIA?
In this time of uncertainty and stress from the current pandemic, keeping our homes healthy can feel overwhelming. Viruses, contagions, bacteria and other terms can seem confusing. A little knowledge can go a long way towards helping us cope and provide peace of mind that we can continue to keep our homes safe. So to help, we have put together this infographic comparing bacteria and viruses, and the differences between them.
Check it out to get the science straight, and to stop your stress about sanitizing and disinfecting, read about the Sanitizing & Disinfecting services Johnson County Chem-Dry provides to help make your home healthier and safer for the entire family.
| VIRUS | BACTERIA |
| Not a living organism | Living organisms |
| Submicroscopic — range from 0.02 to 0.25 micron (a micron is one millionth of a meter) | Much larger than viruses — about 0.4 micron |
| Only grow and reproduce inside of the host cells that they infect. When outside of living cells, viruses are dormant — this is why they need a living cell in order to “live” | Consist of a single living cell than can generate energy, make food, move, and reproduce — this is why they can live in places such as soil, water, plants, and the human body |
| Visible under electron microscope | Visible under light microscope |
| Cause systemic infection | Cause localized infections |
| Examples of systemic infections: AIDS, common cold, flu, chicken pox, measles, Covid-19 | Examples of locaized infections: food poisoning, gastritis, ulcers, meningitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis |
| Antibiotics designed for bacteria have no effect on viruses | Can often be treated with antibiotics |
| Most viruses are potentially harmful | Most bacteria are not harmful |
How to Prevent The Spread of Bacteria and Viruses
- Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds
- Wash hands regularly, after touching high-touch surfaces, and before eating.
- If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
- Use EPA-approved disinfectants on surfaces in the house

The Importance of Regular Carpet Cleaning to Help Indoor Air Quality
REGULAR CLEANING BY A PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANING SERVICE HELPS IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Chem-Dry helps make indoor air healthier for homes and businesses
As the world's largest carpet and upholstery cleaning service, Chem-Dry leads the way in providing safe, effective and environmentally-friendly solutions to help ensure healthier indoor air in homes and businesses across the globe.
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process was tested by a leading independent air quality laboratory in multiple homes finding that Johnson County Chem-Dry removes an average of 98.1% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery. The common allergens tested were dog and cat dander and dust mite allergens. Additionally, our HCE process, when coupled with a hospital-grade sanitizer, was found to remove an average of 89% of the airborne bacteria in the home and 82.3% of the bacteria in carpets.
Indoor air quality is also a significant health concern because the average home can harbor as much as 200,000 bacteria for every square inch of carpet. As the bacteria lurking in your carpets gets stirred up, it circulates in the air your family is breathing unless you properly clean them. A Johnson County Chem-Dry carpet cleaning is not only effective at removing the bacteria from the carpets, upholstery and other surfaces we clean, but it also improves the overall air quality in your home.
Indoor Air Quality Association recognizes the benefits of professional carpet cleaning for improving indoor air quality
Carpet acts as a filter that traps bacteria. allergens and other particulate that originate from both the indoor and outdoor environments. Cleaning is a key component in prolonging the life of the carpet, maintaining its air filtration effectiveness and contributing to the quality of the indoor air. The Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) recognizes the benefits of routine cleaning with high performance filtration vacuuming and periodic wet extraction utilizing a low moisture, green-certified process that has been verified by independent laboratory testing. IAQA also recognizes the value of using a professional company trained and certified in these methods to deliver a deeper carpet cleaning and healthier indoor air.
Chem-Dry is proud to be a Corporate Member of the IAQA. This non-profit organization is focused on bringing practitioners together to prevent and solve indoor environmental problems for the benefit of consumers and the public. As part of their work, IAQA helps to connect consumers and commercial businesses with experts for assessing, cleaning and sanitization related to indoor air quality.
