Dust Mites and Allergens

Hi and welcome back to my carpet care blog. Today we’ll talk further about why carpets instead of just hardwood or tile.

As we said in our last post many people think, “if I don’t have any carpets or rugs my home won’t hold or trap dust mites, dust, allergens or other nose and lung offensive critters.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  You see friends, the biggest filter in your home is not attached to your furnace, and it’s on your floors. Your carpets and rugs. They naturally hold and trap all the airborne stuff you wanted to avoid breathing in the first place.

Your rugs and carpets along with adding to the beauty of your home, absorb cooking odors taking them out of the air and also hold and trap allergens, dust and other pollutants.

If you didn’t have those rugs down guess what happens?  That right.  All the stuff that comes in through your front, back and garage doors  is still going to come in but now instead of filtering down into your rugs to be held in place by your carpets and rugs it simply lays on your floor till you walk by, stir it up with your passage and breath all that harmful stuff into your lungs.   Yucko Bucko!

Shopping for rugs can be filled with stress or a dream depending on how you approach it.  Here’s how to do it right. Get yourself a nice cup of coffee fixed just the way you like it from home or Starbucks.  Get your girlfriend. The one with great taste and tell her we are hunting for big game.   I like Toms Price and stores like that.  FCA in Naperville is also a great place to shop.  Be open-minded. Take notes.  This is not an exercise in frustration. This is adding to the beauty of your lovely home.

You may not find the perfect rug first time out. But you spent time with a friend and got to talk about the kids and life so that’s a good thing too.

Not to worry.  Help for your poor lungs is only a blog away. The very next blog so dial it up.

If you need professional carpet cleaning, smelly pet odor removal or urine stain removal, choose someone who not only has 40+ years of experience but someone who will actually show up when scheduled, do exactly what they say they will do and at the price promised.  Accident happen, when you’ve got a whizzy we’ll get busy.
