Did you know?
Your carpet acts like a sponge, sucking in all of the oil, dust, pollen and pollutants you, your children and pets track in every day.
Avoid Sneezing – Carpet Cleaning Tips
If you have allergies, the atmosphere in your home can cause just as many symptoms as you experience outside at the height of the hay-fever season.
A clean carpet will help you eliminate many of the pollutants that end up in your home. The following tips will help you keep these dreaded allergens under control.
Carpet Cleaning Tips for Allergy Sufferers
Tip # 1- Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned At Least Twice A Year.
Pollen season is brutal in Atlanta so you definitely want to get the carpets cleaned after each season. Keep in mind that even though Fall allergens may not leave a yellow coat on your car, they are just as serious, so don’t neglect your early winter cleaning. Also, remember that pollen seasons may start early or end late due to atypical weather patterns, so plan your cleaning accordingly, considering an interim cleaning if you have a difficult time with allergies.
Tip # 2 – Make Sure Your Carpet Cleaning Professional Uses Green Products.
Green products will help protect your indoor air quality and health of your family. Make sure the products your cleaner uses are certified green by reputable organizations. Look for Green Seal, Environmental Choice, or Envirodesic certification. The Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval is another very important certification.
Tip # 3 – Vacuum Your Carpet Frequently Between Professional Cleanings.
Regular vacuuming is of utmost importance, especially during high pollen seasons. You should avoid using carpet cleaning powders which will only add to the allergens in your home.
Tip # 4 – Empty Your Carpet Bags
If your vacuum cleaner uses bags, empty those frequently so that the pollen isn’t circulating back into the air. It is better to spend a little more money on vacuum cleaner bags than a lot of money on trips to the doctor.
