2Carpet Cleaning
- As per new studies, an estimated 25 of Indias
population suffers from allergic diseases and
allergens are the major culprits. - Common allergens like dust mites and dander are
present in soft surfaces like carpets and in the
air you breathe. - Hence keeping the allergens under control is of
utmost importance.

4- Cleaning Measures
- Regular Vacuuming - Dirt and debris caught on
carpet can damage the carpet, if left untouched.
Hence vacuuming at least once in a week is highly
recommended. A robotic vacuum cleaner like Roomba
from iRobot, can make that job a lot easier. - Pets - To reduce pet dander, wash pets regularly
to cut down the amount of pet dander. - Professional help - Get professional carpet
cleaning once/twice in a year.
5- Preventive Measures
- Wet sources - Keep common sources of spills like
food or drink away from the carpet. Spills create
a humid atmosphere which can nourish the growth
of allergens. - Shoes - Removing footwear before entering your
home, is one of the best ways to limit dirt
intrusion from outside. - To reduce the intake of pollens and mold spores,
usage of an air conditioner is recommended. - Reduce the usage of items that can act as dirt
magnets like heavy drapes, artificial flowers
etc...
6- Avoid these common pitfalls
- All cleaners do not have the ability to trap
allergens. Hence use cleaners which have HEPA
filters. - Avoid carpet powders. Though they can remove the
unpleasant odour, they can leave residue in the
carpet which can damage the carpet in the long
run.
