America spends over 34 billion a year on allergy related medication and treatments each year. We find that this number is staggering, especially when you consider that more than 65% of these people never actually find the relief they are looking for. One of the most effective and often overlooked ways to relieve seasonal allergies is by getting your carpets cleaned by a professional steam carpet cleaning company.
The carpet in your home actually serves a couple of purposes, one of them is obvious it is comfortable and attractive to look at but one of the other effects of carpet is often overlooked. Carpet is actually a fantastic filter for all the air in your home. The carpet acts almost like a giant return air filter for your entire living space. All of the pollen, fungus spore, and other contaminants that inevitably make it in to your home are eventually trapped by your carpet. A professional carpet cleaning reduces allergies by actually removing the pollen dust and other contaminants that have been deposited in your carpet. Think of your professional carpet cleaning company as coming to change the filter for your home. You wouldn’t let the filter on your forced air sit all covered with dust and contaminants, so why should you let your carpet?
You may be asking why should I use a professional company, when I can just rent a machine at the local store? The answer is actually two sided, one is that the rental machines are not effective. They make the carpet look clean for a day or two but soon it begins to re soil rapidly because of the detergents that were left in the carpet. The other reason is that those machines will do nothing for removing the containments that are causing allergies in your home. It requires a professional grade machine with at least industry standard heat and vacuum to truly sterilize and extract everything from your carpets.
