The average American home contains a myriad of "allergens." Allergens are substances that trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing and wheezing. Indoor allergens also play an important role in allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma.

What Are They?

Common allergens hiding in the home environment include:

• Dust Mites - Microscopic arachnids found anywhere there's dust. Just one gram of dust can contain anywhere from 100-500 dust mites.
• Pet Dander - Dander is small scales of skin shed by animals.
• Mold Spores - Microscopic fungal "seeds" that thrive in damp areas of the home, such as the basement, kitchen and bathroom. Carpet and upholstery dust harbors millions of fungal spores.
• Cockroaches - cockroaches are common, unseen houseguests throughout America. Their body parts and droppings are highly allergenic.
• Pollen - Microscopic reproductive components of flowering plants and trees. They enter the home from outdoors and are commonly found in house dust.

Research has shown that carpets in the indoor environments act as a collector for these allergens. When carpets are not professionally cleaned regularly, these particles can become airborne.

• It's the power of carbonation that allows us to clean your carpet & fabrics with such amazing effectiveness. Similar to using club soda to remove stains from a shirt, we've evolved the same concept in our carpet cleaning process. Carbonation lifts dirt & grime to the surface much easier, so less water has to be consumed. This gives you much faster drying times and less chance of harmful bacteria growing. Our knowledgeable technicians will do a walk though with you and recommend the best package for you based on your unique needs and concerns.
