What are allergens and how do they affect your health?
Allergens are substances in the environment that can produce an abnormal response when it comes into contact with your body. The response is called an allergy, which is your immune system’s reaction when protecting you from a foreign substance.
If you or your kids frequently develop allergies, you may be at risk of the following:
- Asthma
- Sinusitis
- Skin infections
- Ear or lung infections
- Nasal polyps (growths on the lining of the nose or sinuses)
- Headaches
Carpet and upholstery cleaning helps reduce allergens in your home
Allergens are constantly moving around in the atmosphere even on the surfaces of your home. Soft surfaces such as your carpet and upholstery can be breeding grounds for these types of allergens:
- Dust mites
- Mould spores
- Pollen
- Cockroaches
- Pet dander
That is why it is important that you schedule a professional carpet and upholstery cleaning every 6-12 months to get rid of bacteria and allergens.
