Today it’s estimated that 2.5 million
children have some type of allergy. According to carpet cleaning Etobicoke recent data was gathered
that accounts for the loss of an estimated two point five million school days per year. Besides keeping your
children from attending school, allergies can make them miserable with runny
noses, itchy eyes, sore throats and skin rashes. Things such as dust, bed bugs,
dogs, cats, birds and cockroaches in the home can cause allergies.
Dust mites are one of the most common
causes of children’s allergies, and the main allergic component
of house dust. Present year-round in most parts of Canada, although not at high
altitudes, dust mites live in bedding, upholstery, rugs and carpets. According
to carpet cleaning Mississauga experts, dust mites avoid the light and need at
least 50 percent relative humidity to survive. They say there are five easy
ways to decrease dust mite exposure through out the home:
1.
If it’s a hard surface clean it.
2.
If it’s a washable fabric, wash it in hot water.
3.
If you can’t wash or wipe it, encase it.
4.
If you can’t wipe, wash, or encase it, remove it.
5.
If indoor air is damp, monitor it, and keep relative humidity below 45
percent by using air-conditioning or dehumidifier, and avoid humidifiers.
Pet
allergens are dispersed when the pet licks and the salvia gets on its fur or
feathers. As the salvia dries, protein particles become air borne and work
their way into fabrics in the home.
Cats
are the worst because they lick themselves frequently as part of their
grooming. Bed
bugs
are especially
prevalent in a lot of fabrics. Exposure to them is thought by carpet cleaning
Etobicoke as a major cause of asthma. If your child is dust sensitive, or has
allergies or asthma, you can reduce his or her misery by creating a dust free
bedroom. By following the routine suggested by clean my carpet described in
this blog. Although these steps may seem difficult at first, experience plus
habit will make them easier. The results are better breathing, fewer medicines,
and greater freedom from allergy and asthma attacks. Completely empty the room
to clean and empty all closets. Keep clothing in zipped plastic bags and shoes
in boxes off the floor. Remove carpeting if possible, clean and scrub the
woodwork to remove all traces of dust. Wipe wood, tile, linoleum floors with
water, wax, or oil and cement any linoleum to the floor. Close the doors and windows
until the dust-sensitive child is ready to use the room. I always think it’s
the little things that help out the most when cleaning. Whether it’s a little
assistance from your daughter or a professional, these handy helpers will save
you time and effort. Let’s not forget that we are doing this to give our
children a better and healthier dust free life. Make sure to use a scrub brush
for simple jobs. When the shower curtain needs cleaning spread it on the grass
outside, use the scrub brush with mild soap and garden hose to clean it. Keep a
dustpan and brush handy for sweeping up dry spills like cereal, flour, coffee,
cat food and more. Is always good to have two vacuum cleaners-one for upstairs,
another for downstairs. It prevents you from having to lug them up and down.
