For people with allergies, it can feel like there’s no escape from the discomfort caused by itchy eyes and a drippy nose. While you’d expect outdoor air to be the major culprit, airborne allergens like dust, pet dander, skin cells, and bacteria float through your home’s air until they land on your carpet. They become embedded within the fibers and stay there to continuously irritate your sensitive sinus system. If you’re ready for relief, it’s time to schedule a carpet cleaning.

How Carpet Cleaning Will Help With Your Allergy Symptoms

Your Dirty Carpets

Your plush white rug may look immaculately clean to your eye, but the dirt you need to worry about can’t be seen. Think about everything the bottom of your shoes comes in contact with during the day. They collect bacteria and other foreign substances, and when you walk across the carpet, you make a transfer. And even if you’re diligent about taking your shoes off at the door, that won’t stop airborne particles from invading your space. Even if they are vacuumed daily, they are fundamentally filthy after a few years or months of use. The fibers and the way they are designed make it almost impossible to keep them completely free from allergies.

Professional Carpet Cleaning

Regular carpet cleaning is the answer to removing allergens from your home. Unlike a vacuum, professional carpet cleaning equipment can reach all the way through the fibers to the bottom of the carpet. Expensive vacuums boast powerful suction, but they still can’t uproot bacteria that are growing under the fibers. Steam cleaning kills anything living in the rug, and the rest of the process removes everything that doesn’t belong there.

It's recommended that people who suffer from allergies have their carpets professionally cleaned at least every six months. Make the most out of it by choosing a company with high-quality service.
