Allergies can be the cause of sleeplessness, pain, asthma and many other unwanted discomforts. Eliminate one of the biggest allergy “hosts” in your house. What is it? Carpet!
How often do you wash your clothes, sheets, blankets, etc? How often do you wash and clean your carpet? Not very often, just like rest of us. Nevertheless, even if you did clean your carpets often, allergens like pollen, pet dander, dirt, dust and so-on, may still reside in those little fuzzy strands of carpet. Eliminate the problem at its source. Replacing your old, worn out and dirty carpet with hardwood, not only enhances the look and feel of your home but it can drastically reduce the concentration of allergens.
Consider these facts from the EPA’s Website: Health Problems Caused By ANIMAL DANDER, MOLDS, DUST MITES, OTHER BIOLOGICALS Key Signs/Symptoms
• recognized infectious disease
• exacerbation of asthma
• rhinitis
• conjunctivas inflammation
• recurrent fever
• malaise
• dyspnea
• chest tightness
• cough
Do you experience any of the above? There is a chance allergens in your carpet could be triggering these conditions. Now consider the EPA”S suggestion: Remedial Action “Thoroughly clean and dry water-damaged carpets and building materials within 24 hours of damage, or consider removal and replacement. Vacuum carpets and upholstered furniture regularly. Note: While it is important to keep an area as dust-free as possible, cleaning activities often re-suspend fine particles during and immediately after the activity.”
