Carpet 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

1. 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.

1. 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...

1. 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.
