According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/pressroom\/nchs_press_releases\/2022\/20220126.htm\">nearly 1 in 3 U.S. adults and more than 1 in 4 U.S. children<\/a>\u201d suffer from seasonal or food allergies as well as eczema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to our homes, allergens often find cozy spots in our carpets, leading to prolonged exposure and potential health risks for us. Fortunately, there are ways to combat this issue and have a cleaner, allergen-free environment for you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regular Vacuuming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuuming might seem like an obvious solution, but its importance cannot be overstated. A high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum cleaner can trap even the tiniest allergen particles, preventing them from recirculating into the air. It is recommended to vacuum at least once or twice a week, especially in high-traffic areas, to reduce the buildup of dust mites, pet dander, and pollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steam Cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam cleaning is an excellent method to remove surface dirt and stains and also eliminate hidden allergens from deep within the carpet fibers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1240409\/\">Research shows that steam cleaning<\/a> and vacuuming can make a significant impact. The high temperature of the steam kills dust mites and bacteria, effectively sanitizing the carpet. For optimal results, it is advisable to use a professional steam cleaner at least once every six months to maintain a healthy indoor environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Baking Soda Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true that baking soda can be used for almost any cleaning task. Baking soda is a versatile and cost-effective solution for eliminating unpleasant odors and absorbing moisture from carpets. Its deodorizing properties make it an excellent natural remedy for neutralizing pet odors and musty smells, which can be exacerbated by allergens. Simply sprinkle baking soda liberally over the carpet, leave it for a few hours, and then vacuum thoroughly to remove both the baking soda and the trapped allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allergen-Reducing Carpet Shampoos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using specialized allergen-reducing carpet shampoos can be an effective way to remove allergens from your carpet while also cleaning and refreshing it. These shampoos are designed to break down and remove allergens, dust mites, and other contaminants from deep within the fibers. When using these products, follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions carefully to achieve the best results without damaging the carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professional Deep Cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While regular maintenance is crucial, periodic deep cleaning by professionals is essential to ensure a thorough and comprehensive removal of embedded allergens. <a href=\"https:\/\/lakesareacarpetcare.com\/4-essential-questions-to-ask-a-carpet-cleaning-service\/\">Professional cleaners have access to powerful equipment<\/a> and specialized techniques that can extract deeply embedded dirt, dust mites, and allergens, leaving your carpet fresh and allergen-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a clean and allergen-free carpet is vital for creating a healthy indoor environment. By implementing these five methods, you can significantly reduce the presence of allergens, promote better air quality, and safeguard the well-being of your household. Remember, a little extra care for your carpet can go a long way in protecting your family from potential allergy-related health issues. <a href=\"https:\/\/lakesareacarpetcare.com\/contact\/\">For any questions or concerns, don\u2019t hesitate to give us a call<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor allergens are a common trigger for those with allergies and asthma.
