Asthma and Allergy Care: Benefits of Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
admin • Dec 16, 2020
Asthma and allergies can make people miserable, increase family medical costs, and cause the person with the condition to lose time at work or school. It takes an effort to get control of the situation because so many things in the home can trigger symptoms. Deep cleaning services may offer a convenient solution.
Regular deep cleaning of upholstery and carpets in the home can reduce the potential triggers that cause symptoms to begin. Anyone with a respiratory illness or living with someone who has this health concern should understand how minor changes to their cleaning routine can help people to live more comfortably.
Remove Dust Mites
Dust mites may be one of the biggest concerns for people with allergies and asthma. Dust mites exist almost everywhere, and they thrive at temperatures common in many homes (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). The average homeowner that vacuums their house once or twice a week may think they are controlling the problem, but their usual cleaning regimen may not be enough.
Dust mites survive even with regular vacuuming. Vacuums cannot pick up the microscopic mites. The only way to kill the mites and lessen the population in the home is with steam. Regularly steam-cleaned carpets, mattresses, and upholstery will have fewer dust mites, and potentially cause fewer symptoms for those with allergies and asthma.
Reduce Risky Germs
Viruses and bacteria can cause anyone to become ill, but people with asthma may have lowered immune responses that make them more susceptible to illness. Medical studies have shown that asthma patients can experience more severe asthma symptoms when infected with a respiratory illness and often have the condition longer than people who do not have asthma.
Doctors do not understand everything about how bacteria affect those with asthma, but people with allergic asthma are statistically more likely to receive antibiotics than people without asthma. The study does not suggest the removal of bacteria from the home will stop the need for antibiotics, but ridding a home of any potential causes of illness helps everyone in the house.
The benefit of deep cleaning is that it not only removes the viruses and bacteria possibly lurking in the carpet, but it can also help to prevent future bacterial growth. Deep cleaning removes the food crumbs and other organic matter that settles too deeply into carpet and fabric fibers for vacuums to reach. Removal of these items takes away the food needed for bacteria to multiply.
Keep Air Cleaner
Using vacuums to clean soft furnishings and carpets may not remove allergens and dirt as much as people think. An Australian study revealed that all vacuums tested in their study released allergens and bacteria into the air when in use. The machines that included HEPA filters were only slightly better than those without.
Allergy and asthma symptoms can worsen when allergens circulate through the air. The particulates can land on table surfaces, furniture, and floors. It is easy to circulate the unseen allergens through the air by walking through the room or sitting down on the furniture. The repeated exposure to the airborne material may continue to aggravate respiratory issues.
A deep cleaning helps to remove dirt more effectively than traditional vacuuming. Professional equipment can clean deeper into the fabric than standard household vacuums to remove the dust and dirt that has settled into the material. The heat from a steam cleaning can kill germs and dust mites to reduce the level of allergens in the home immediately.
