If you suffer from allergies or asthma, some basic home improvements to allergy-proof your home may be just what the doctor ordered.
Wall-to-wall carpet can trap dust, pet dander, harbor dust mites, and all manner of dirt; all triggers for allergy sufferers. These can affect your breathing, eyes, nose and skin. Replacing carpets with hard-surface flooring is a great way to avoid or remove allergens from your home.
If you aren’t ready to take on a huge renovation project to replace your carpets with wood flooring, having them cleaned every six to twelve months by the trusted professional carpet cleaners at Ayoub Carpet Service is a great option.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Association of America, hardwood floors are an ideal type of floor for people with allergies and asthma since they are easier to clean and allergens do not become trapped.
Keeping wood floors clean is a breeze. A little maintenance will go a long way in keeping your floors looking new and the dust at bay. Start by placing mats or small rugs at all entryways. They will trap dirt and dust and prevent you from tracking it all over the house. Of course, you’ll have to vacuum these regularly. You can also take your shoes off at the door, leaving all the outdoor dirt where it belongs – outdoors. In addition, you will want to sweep your hardwood flooring with a soft-bristle broom or dust mop often.
Like other surfaces that see regular use, dirt, grime and debris build up over time and can damage wood floors. Allergens and bacteria that can compromise home and family healthy can also accumulate.
Professional wood floor cleaning will remove those accumulations, sanitize floors to eliminate bacteria, and increase your wood floor’s life.
Cleaning your carpets and wood flooring is a first step in allergy-proofing your home and creating the healthy environment that you deserve.
