Hello friends and clients,
Keep reading to discover
very important information about your indoor air quality.
Even if you don't suffer
from allergies you will benefit from this information.
If you do suffer from allergies I don't have to describe the
symptoms. You are very familiar with some of these:
itchy, stuffy nose, nasal discharge, itchy, watery, swollen,
bloodshot eyes, sneezing, scratchy, swollen throat,
coughing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest.
Maybe you think of your
home as a place where you can escape outdoor allergens and
get some relief. Unfortunately, your home harbors its
own allergens, making them impossible to avoid.
WHAT ARE
THOSE ALLERGENS THAT MAKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SO SICK EVERY
YEAR?
The leading cause of indoor
allergens is simple "house dust". It sounds harmless
but "house dust" is an airborne mixture that can contain
fine particles of soil and plant material from indoor and
outdoor locations, particles of human skin, animal dander,
hair, fabric, mold spores, dust mites, fragments of insects
that have died and their waste, food particles and other
debris. And unlike seasonal allergies such as hay fever,
indoor allergies may last all year long. Yuck!
Even if you don't suffer from allergies, who wants to
breathe that stuff?
KEEP
THIS IN MIND WHEN CONTROLLING YOUR ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA
- Indoor allergies tend to
be at their worst in the Springs when pollutants enter the
home and in the late summer when dust mites are at their
peak.
- Allergy symptoms can
actually get worse in the wintertime because we tend to keep
the windows shut and doors closed and people are shut in
with the allergens
- Allergy symptoms an asthma
will be aggravated during times of high pollen or mold
counts if you sleep with your windows open, allowing
allergens to enter your house and settle into your carpets
and fabrics.
- If you have indoor
allergies you will continue to suffer as long as you are
exposed to allergens
WHAT
DOES ALL OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH MY CARPET?
Your carpet is like a big
filter. It traps all of these allergens and when it
gets full it re-distributes them back into the air with
every step you take. If it's been more than 6-12
months since you have had your carpets cleaned, your
"filter" (your carpet) is probably full. Whether or
not you suffer from allergies, it's time for me to steam
clean those allergens out of your home—so
you and your family can breathe easier! Don't hesitate
to call me at 945-7591 and I'll take care of it for you as
soon as I can!
