If you struggle with allergy symptoms during the year, you know that during the spring and fall, outdoor allergies tend to be at their worst. For protection from allergens in the air, you probably take refuge inside your home. But sneezing, watering eyes, itching skin, and even worsening asthma or emphysema can hound you even inside if the carpet in your home has gone too long without cleaning.

Carpet can capture and hold a wide variety of allergens, including dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores. Cleaning the carpet in your home on a regular basis is an excellent way to keep these and other allergens at bay. Although regular vacuuming is helpful, professional carpet cleaning is the best route to take when trying to maintain an allergy-free home.

Carpet cleaning, when done by a professional carpet cleaning service, provides your home with the extra mile of cleanliness that simple vacuuming can’t accomplish. A professional will employ tools such a steam cleaner to loosen and remove allergens deep within the carpet. If done correctly, and regularly over time, carpet cleaning can ensure allergens in your home are kept to a bare minimum.
