Allergies are no fun. Springtime may be one of the most difficult seasons of the year for people with allergies to get through, especially with pollen, pet dander, grass clippings, and so much more that can irritate allergies almost any time of the year.
While your home may look clean, it might still be harboring a lot of pollutants.
You dust regularly. You vacuum almost every other day. You even go so far as to dust furniture and other surfaces. You might even take down the drapes every week to wash them. Yes, it’s a massive undertaking at times, but you know that keeping your home as free and clear of dust and other pollutants is the best way to reduce allergies.
However, vacuuming alone isn’t enough.
Even the strongest residential vacuum cleaner is not powerful enough to get all of the germs, bacteria, and allergens out of the carpet fibers. When those pollutants collect on the carpet fibers, they get worked down deeper and deeper every time somebody steps on the carpeting, the vacuum cleaner roller bar coasts over it, and so much more.
The vacuum may be powerful, but it often leaves behind more than 60% of those pollutants.
A professional carpet cleaning service is one of the best ways to help clean those carpets and reduce allergens inside the home. For somebody with intense allergies, it’s highly recommended to consider a professional carpet cleaning every six months. If that’s not practical, at least once a year is optimal for not just improving indoor air quality, but also helping to protect carpets and keep them lasting as long as possible.
In fact, a professional carpet cleaning service once a year can extend the life of wall-to-wall carpets by two and even three or four years, at least.
