If you sneeze in your own living room or your eyes itch and there are no pets around, your carpets could be the cause. Carpets in North Shore homes do more than keep your feet warm and comfortable; they also attract allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet hair, and even mold spores. These particles can pile up quickly, even if you can’t see them. This can make life hard for anyone with allergies or sensitive noses. Read here!

A lot of people use vacuuming to keep their carpets clean, but it just gets rid of dirt on the surface. People typically don’t clean the lower layers of the carpet, where dust mites and other allergens like to hide. When someone walks on the carpet, tiny particles can get into the air, which can make allergies worse by making people sneeze, cough, and have other symptoms.

If someone in your home has asthma or hay fever, getting your carpets cleaned by a professional can make a big impact. Hot water extraction and other methods don’t simply get rid of stains you can see; they also get rid of allergens that vacuums can’t reach deep into the carpet fibers. This is especially critical on the North Shore, where the mix of sea air and lots of plants means that there is more pollen and other detritus in the air indoors.

The kind of carpet you have can also affect how many allergens it can hold. Wool carpets are plush and inviting, but they are also great at storing moisture and can be a home for dust mites. When you clean synthetic carpets, they may let allergens out more easily, but they still need frequent, comprehensive treatment.

Combine professional carpet cleaning with some smart housekeeping habits to get the most out of it. To catch more tiny particles, use a vacuum with a high-efficiency (HEPA) filter. On days when there is a lot of pollen, keep the windows closed. If there is a spill or an accident with a pet, clean it up right once to keep extra dirt from getting in. You may also use UV rays to destroy bacteria and mites organically by rolling up carpets and letting sunshine reach both sides every once in a while.

In the end, cleaning your carpets regularly in your North Shore home is about more than just looks. It’s about making the air in your home healthier for your family, making it more comfortable to live in, and cutting down on the allergens that are always in the air. These actions are certainly worth the trouble for families who are worried about allergies or respiratory problems. The relief you’ll feel at home is hard to top.
