Allergic to Pets? Pet Hair is NOT the Culprit! Find out how to rid your home of allergens that trigger symptoms.

“Hi. This is Anthony Miklaszewski with New Dimension Cleaning. If you have pets in your home, there’s a lot more that you should be concerned about than just fleas lurking about in your carpet or pet odor, especially if anyone in your family suffers from allergies.

“Contrary to what many people believe, pet hair is not the culprit that causes an allergic reaction to an animal. “Allergy attacks” are actually triggered by a protein found in your pet’s saliva or urine, and especially by pet dander. Dander is those dead skin flakes (like dandruff) that shed when your pet licks or scratches itself.

“This dander is extremely sticky and clings to almost any surface—furniture, walls and especially carpet fibers…

“And, as if that’s not bad enough, over two million dust mites feed on all human dead skin scales and pet dander. These mites can double their numbers every ten hours, and produce ten to twenty pieces of feces per day, right there in your home…in your carpet.

“Outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust—and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and your family members come into your home, these pollutants are carried in on your shoes and usually end up in your carpet, along with all the other allergens…essentially, making your home one big allergy factory…and your carpet the filter for all these impurities.

“If you think vacuuming your carpets will help get these pollutants out, think again. Vacuuming doesn’t clean down in the deepest part of your rug. In fact, vacuuming your carpets can actually stir up the dander, dust mites, dust mite feces, protein, germs, mold and other allergens and worsen your symptoms.

“When you vacuum your carpet, allergens travel right through your vacuum cleaner, out its exhaust and into the air…where particles can remain airborne for quite a while before they land on your eyes, your nose, or you breathe them directly into your lungs.

“Is it any wonder that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends cleaning your carpet every three to six months if you have pets and/or young children?

“Not at all, but don’t get confused. All carpet cleaning is not the same. To get all the dirt, allergens, chemicals and other pollutants out, major carpet manufacturers recommend one cleaning method over all the others—hot water extraction, like New Dimension Cleaning uses because this process gives the most thorough cleaning and rinsing ever. A shampooer that you rent from the grocery store can’t even begin to deliver the same results.

“Here’s why:

• For every 18 degree increase in water temperature above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, the water’s cleaning ability is doubled. This means hot water extraction can get you carpets 4 to 5 times cleaner…
• The truck-mounted equipment used for hot water extraction shoots the cleaning solution into your carpet at a high pressure to break up all the allergens, dirt and other pollutants.
• Then the equipment uses strong suction to draw out all residues from your carpet, leaving you with not only a clean carpet but also a healthy carpet.

“In addition to health concerns, with regular professional cleaning and proper maintenance, like New Dimension Cleaning does, your carpets will last longer and look better for years to come. In fact, many carpet manufacturers require you to have your carpets cleaned annually to maintain your warranty.
