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. The indoor air is full of harmful pollutants. 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 particulate 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.
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.
