How Professional Carpet Cleaning Can Help Allergy Sufferers

Spring is a beautiful season, but for allergy sufferers, it can be a nightmare. While pollen is a well-known culprit, many people overlook the allergens lurking in their carpets. Regular carpet cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce allergy symptoms.

Why Carpets Trap Allergens

Carpets act like giant filters, trapping pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores. Over time, these allergens accumulate and get released into the air, which can worsen allergy symptoms.

How Professional Carpet Cleaning Helps

• Deep Cleaning:  Chem-Dry offers a deep cleaning with our hot carbonating process. We remove embedded allergens that regular vacuuming can't reach.
• HEPA Filters: Professional vacuums with HEPA filters trap 99.97% of airborne particles.
• Professional Cleaning: When you have your carpets professionally cleaned, it will kill dust mites and bacteria, reducing allergy triggers.
• Moisture Control: Since our cleaning process allows us to use one-tenth the moisture of traditional steam cleaners, your carpets will dry in 1-2 hours. This prevents mold growth by eliminating hidden moisture.

Best Practices for Allergy Sufferers

• Vacuum Regularly: Use a HEPA-filter vacuum at least twice a week.
• Schedule Professional Cleaning: Have carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year, especially in high traffic areas where there is a lot of foot traffic and in rooms close to outside doors.
• Control Humidity: Keep indoor humidity below 50% to prevent dust mite growth.
• Clean Pet Areas: Wash pet bedding and groom pets frequently to reduce dander.

By maintaining clean carpets, you can breathe easier and enjoy the beauty of spring without the sneezing and congestion. For more information, please reach out to us at 574-264-9412.
