Organic and Environmentally-Friendly Cleaning Methods That Reduce Allergens

Outside your home, it is almost impossible to avoid encountering allergens, since you have no control over determinants such as the pollen count, pet-fur shedding, or unpleasant/strong fumes (such as smoke and perfume).

Little wonder then that most people look to their home as a safe haven. Unfortunately, dust mites, pollen, molds and animal dander can easily become embedded in your carpet and upholstery, quickly becoming an allergy sufferer's worst nightmare.

Certain health professionals have recommended that certain allergy or asthma patients should remove carpet from their home altogether. However, it has also been shown that a clean, dry, well-maintained carpet actually improves air quality, by trapping airborne particles that have been grounded through natural gravity.

Another reason for using carpet is that, when walking on hard surfaces in your home, you inadvertently disturb more allergens than on soft surfaces (i.e. carpet). Walking on a hard floor means that particles become airborne much faster and then enter your lungs, often triggering allergy symptoms.

Say Yes to Green Cleaning

Here at Flat Rate Carpet, we are concerned for the wellbeing of you and your family. Moreover, we are also concerned for our planet, and the impact that harsh detergents have on it. That is why we use organic and environmentally-friendly cleaning methods in our work. As a consequence, we are able to eliminate pollens, dust mites, allergens, fungus and bacteria without the use of 'regular' chemicals that can radically alter the air quality in your home, work spaces and wider environment.

Our organic allergy treatments actually change the shape of allergy proteins, making them unrecognizable to the body and drastically reducing the chance of an allergic reaction. With regular carpet and upholstery cleaning from Flat Rate Carpet, you can ensure not only that a cleaner-looking carpet looks cleaner, but feel safe in the knowledge that the absence of allergens is making your home a more comfortable, healthy and safe place.
