Getting Rid of Common Allergens

Getting rid of common allergens is one of the simplest methods to enhance the indoor air quality in your house. Steam-cleaning fabrics, such as carpets and furniture, are critical for removing toxins from your home’s air.

The “Dirt” on Dirt
Dirt and dirt are unavoidable in life. Every day, we are exposed to dust, pet dander/hair, filth, and bacteria, which is why we want to keep our exposure to a minimum in our own houses. Indoor air pollution is caused by filthy carpets and furniture upholstery, which can cause a variety of health problems.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in Canada, affecting more than 2.4 million individuals (according to Breathe Lung Association). The presence of common allergens and irritants in the home can aggravate asthma symptoms such as wheezing and coughing.

If dust mites are not controlled, they can cause major health problems. These minute arachnids consume the skin cells that humans unavoidably lose by burrowing deep into the fibers of carpets and other materials. They produce up to 200 times their body weight in bodily waste when they eat more. Humans are particularly vulnerable to this waste. When it breaks down, allergy-causing proteins are produced, which can lead to breathing problems.

Mold or mildew growth is a possibility if your carpets have been subjected to water damage water damage. Mold spores contribute to poor indoor air quality and, if not addressed, can cause irreversible respiratory harm.

Bacteria is another potential source of indoor air pollution. Bacteria can thrive in your home’s materials. E. coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus are some of the most frequent bacteria detected in carpets.

Taking Care of Pollutants at Home
As you might expect, regular cleaning methods go a long way toward keeping grime at bay in your home. Dusting and washing the various surfaces in your home regularly is essential. If you have carpets, vacuuming at least once or twice a week is advised. To prevent interior air pollution, your vacuum should also have a HEPA filter.

Vacuuming your carpets and furniture regularly removes some of the dust, dust mites, and other debris in your home, but not all of it. Allergen particles tend to sink deep into the fibers of fabric surfaces. When textiles are vacuumed, deep-seated particles are sometimes pulled closer to the surface. These particles can be discharged into the air when you sit on your furniture or your children play on the carpet in their rooms, exposing your family to allergies and microorganisms.

Steam cleaning your carpets and upholstery is an excellent approach to getting rid of allergens that have lodged themselves deep within the fabric. It might assist in first understanding how steam cleaners work to better grasp how they can help to enhance indoor air quality. Any detergent (we spray a pre-treatment for stains or extremely soiled areas), dirt, and debris are effectively removed by the high-powered vacuum system. Carpets should be deep cleaned twice a year; however, upholstered furniture does not need to be cleaned as frequently.

Some people prefer to do their steam cleaning of their upholstered furniture or carpets. Not all steam cleaners, however, are created equal. There could be excess moisture in the fibers if you’re using a machine that doesn’t get the steam as hot as it should. Mold and mildew can quickly grow because of the moisture, which, as previously said, can be exceedingly harmful to one’s health. (Hiring a professional also has the added benefit of high-quality steam cleaning, which is particularly successful in removing stains.) While adopting the DIY approach may appear to save money at first, it is possible that you will end up spending more money when a professional is needed to finish the job.

Most common symptoms of allergy-causing allergens:
** Rhinitis
** Sneezing
** Asthma
** Itching and redness in the eyes
** Nasal congestion
** Itching in the nose and throat
** Coughing
If you’re one of the 7 million Canadians that suffer from allergies or allergic illnesses such as asthma or sinusitis you already know how miserable they can be.
What you may not know is that dust mites and pet allergens found indoors are some of the leading causes of allergic diseases. People with relatively mild allergies can develop very serious, chronic, and even life-threatening illnesses if they continue to be exposed to these allergens.
