Over 7 million Canadians suffer from seasonal and household allergens. That is why many of our clients constantly ask us how to remove allergens from carpets. Carpets are a large source of household allergens and are an ecosystem in of themselves. They harbor life for everything from pollen to dust mites. These can be very troubling for someone who suffers from allergies. Here we will explore 3 crucial steps every homeowner must take to fully remove household allergens from their carpets once and for all.
Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned
Everything starts with getting your carpet professionally cleaned. Ensuring that your carpets have been thoroughly washed and shampooed by a professional is the most rudimentary step someone can take to ensure their carpets are completely allergen free. Skipping this step will make all the other following steps ineffectual.
Vacuum Regularly
It is recommended that you regularly vacuum your carpets using a vacuum cleaner that has a strong HEPA filter. Having a vacuum that can reliably capture small particles is very important. Using a regular vacuum cleaner which doesn’t posses a strong filter will only redistribute the allergens. Ensure that your vacuum cleaner has a reliable filter and make sure to clean it regularly as well.
Replace Old Carpet
Replace old carpets with new carpeting. Carpets begin to peel as they age. At a certain point (about the 10-15 year mark) it is recommended that people replace their carpets with newer ones. It is also preferred to choose low pile carpeting as it has less surface area for allergens and dust mites to burrow themselves into.
