Allergy Sufferers
If you suffer from allergies and asthma, this can be of great service to you!
*The EPA has consistently ranked indoor air pollutants among the top 5 environmental risks to public health.
Bio-pollutants include dog- and cat- dander, dust mites and cockroaches allergens. These indoor pollutants act as triggers for asthma and other respiratory ailments. Children are the most at risk, as their lungs are developing. In addition to having your carpet cleaned, you may want to look into having your upholstery and mattress cleaned regularly. This can significantly reduce your allergic reactions to items in your home.
Upholstery Cleaning and Dust Mites
- The Number 1 indoor allergen source is the Common House Dust Mite. Dust Mites are microscopic arachnids, and are invisible to the human eye. Dust Mites feed on tiny flakes of human skin cells. We each shed about 2 Pounds of skin per year. That is why it is so important to have your upholstery and mattress properly cleaned to reduce risk to these allergens.
- The true problem lies with the protein found in the fecal matter from the Dust Mites called “Der pl”.. This fecal matter is lighter than air and becomes airborne when we disturb it by fluffing pillows, tossing and turning in our beds at night, and plopping down on our furniture. The airborne particles are inhaled and then break down the protective mucous lining in the eyes, nose lungs and skin. The National Institute of Environmental Health states that 46% of North America homes have bedding and furniture with enough Dust Mite Allergens to cause allergies.
Upholstery Cleaning and Pet Dander
- It is important to get your mattress and upholstery cleaned by a professional to reduce pet dander in your home.
- Protein’s in a pet’s dander, saliva, and urine cause pet allergies. Grooming by cats cause the saliva on fur to become airborne, this is one trigger for the allergic reaction. Allergy sufferers have pets, and with regular cleaning and treatment of their homes we can help.
- Mattress’ contain about 60% household Dust Mite. 20% of an older (1yr.) pillows weight is dead Dust Mites, Dust Mite body parts and fecal matter.
For peace of mind and a good night sleep, have your mattresses and upholstery cleaned at least twice a year. You will be amazed how good you’ll feel.
