Minimize Allergens
Some Alarming
Facts
EPA
studies show that most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. Levels of pollutants may be 200% to 500% higher indoors
than outdoors, even in cities with a lot of air pollution. Trane, a leader in air handling systems, states in their publication
"A Revolution In Clean Air" that a 1,500 sq ft area normally will generate about 40 lbs of dust every year! An ounce of this
dust can hold up to 40,000 dust mites. Everday 72 trillion allergens can make their way into your home.
Is
your House making you Sick?
If you suffer from allergies, colds and flu-like symptoms more often
than seems normal, try this simple test. The next time you leave your home for a few days,
keep a diary describing how you feel. Monitor your physical condition for several days before, during
your absence, and after you return. If your symptoms abate while you're away, but reoccur upon
your return, you may have issues with indoor air quality. Dust Mites, allergens, and other irritants
can be pervasive in all homes, and you need to develop a comprehensive strategy to maintain
your home's healthy environment. Daily vacuuming and timely carpet cleaning can be part of your overall defense
against indoor irritants.
Carpet
Cleaning Is A Healthy Choice!
Dust mites thrive
on the gunk deep down in the carpet. It is invisible to the eye, but very apparent to the lungs. Every time someone walks
across the carpet, the pollutants are released into the air. It can stay airborne for an hour or more, so that the average
home will always have these particulates in the air. This is especially harmful to those with allergies. This is why we believe
carpet cleaning is foremost a health issue, secondarily an appearance issue.
