Healthy Home
Reassuringly Clean
 Having
your carpets or upholstery cleaned shouldn't just be a response
to disasters in the home such as visible soiling and stains.
Well maintained carpets and upholstery will help to ensure
a healthy home environment by reducing harmful dust and dirt
within the fibres.
Allergies
It is estimated that allergies affect some 40%
of the population and this percentage is rising. Unclean carpets
can harbour pesticides, heavy metals and insecticides carried
into the house on the soles of shoes. Another culprit in the
battle against allergens is the house dust mite. The dust
mite feeds off dead skin that accumulates in our carpets,
upholstery and bedding. These are ideal breeding grounds for
the dust mite.
House Dust Mite Facts
 The
average dustmite measures 0.3mm, not visible to the naked
eye. Over 7,000 can fit on a finger nail.
A dust mite moults several times during its
life producing 200 times its weight in waste and will lay
300 eggs.
It is the house dust mite waste, and not the
mites themselves that triggers asthmatic and allergic attacks.
Research has revealed this trigger is a microscopic protein
in the mite excrement called 'Der p1'. Not only will having
your house cleaned by Chem-Dry significantly reduce the 'Der
p1' levels but it will also improve the air quality of your
home.
