Allergy-Free Cleaning—Steam Cleaning Your Home
Having a home that is free of pollutants is crucial to keeping your allergy symptoms under control. However, all cleaning isn’t the same when it comes to truly eliminating the causes of allergy attacks.
What Doesn’t Work
Most of us have a collection of cleaners stockpiled under our kitchen or bathroom sinks to address every cleaning issue, from dust to mildew. These products are chemically tailored to blast away all grit and grim, or so they say. In general, these chemicals do clean, but at a cost, and not always as effectively or easily as they claim. Harsh cleaners have long been known to aggravate the respiratory system, and if you are an allergy-sufferer, the effects are even more severe. The real problem with these cleaners is actually a two-fold issue for allergy-suffers: (1) the cleaners themselves are harsh and can cause any number of health issues, including respiratory distress (2) these so-called cleaners often times address the surface problem and cannot effectively remove the pollutant.
The Steamy Solution
With all the negative side effects of standard chemical cleaners, it is easy to become frustrated and wonder “What else is there to clean with? How do I avoid these chemicals and their effects?” The answer is simple, cost-effective, and uses only natural elements. Best of all, it is a one-stop source for cleaning your home. It’s steam, or all-natural heated dry water vapor. It won’t aggravate your allergies, and even better, it will truly clean pollutants and allergens from your home. Imagine sanitizing and cleaning in one simple step, and using only water to do it.
Dust Mite Allergies
Steam cleaning your home can dramatically change your allergy symptoms, particularly when it comes to dust mite allergies. Dust mites are found in our homes in nearly any fibrous material where these microscopic organisms can burrow down and begin to feed, reproduce, and die. They are most often found in our mattresses and bedding, upholstered furniture, carpets, and rugs. These parasites live off of moisture and dead skin cells. When they feed and produce waste, they become the big threat. Because of the small size of dust mite feces, as well as the mites themselves, these allergen triggers are easily kicked up into the air by walking, sweeping, or otherwise moving about. When an allergy-sufferer inhales the dust mite secretions, the effect is sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and possibly wheezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing.
So, if dust mites are a problem in your home (which is probably the case if you find you can’t get a good night’s sleep in your own bed because of your allergy symptoms), then steam cleaning is the answer. Steam can penetrate into the fibers of mattresses, drapes, and furniture, cleaning completely and leaving no moisture behind. A regular routine of steam cleaning ensures there is no new dust mite colony forming. Dust mite allergies rate among the top source of allergy attacks in the home, and it is important that they are addressed if allergy symptoms are to improve.
Make Your Home Dander-Free
Steam cleaners address other allergens and pollutants in your home by being a highly effective general cleaner for hard surfaces. Although air purifiers are the number one solution to address pet dander in your home, as they suck pollutants from the air before it can be breathed in, steam cleaners are the second best choice for eliminating pet dander. Cleaning with steam will help to remove dander from many surfaces in your home. Steam cleaning can reach places that are not easily accessible by other forms of cleaning. Using steam to clean is safe for you, your home, and your pets, which gives you peace of mind at the end of the day. Removing as much pet dander as possible from your home on a regular basis is crucial to minimizing your allergy attacks from these miniscule pollutants.
Bacteria, Mildew, and Mold
Steam cleaning offers you a central solution to cleaning your house of additional pollutants that can make allergy symptoms intensify. With a dry vapor steam cleaner, you are able to sanitize your home from bacteria, mildew, and mold without the worry of chemical side effects. Mold spores are especially bothersome, and in some cases, dangerous for allergy-sufferers because they can cause serious respiratory distress. Additionally, allergy-sufferers need to be able to reduce the number of germs and pollutants they are exposed to, as their immune systems address any allergen present as highly harmful. The most common allergic reactions are runny nose, watery eyes, and difficult breathing. In some cases, allergy-sufferers have weakened immune systems resulting from their body’s constant push to eliminate the harmful agents an allergy-sufferer is exposed to daily. This is all the more reason to eliminate as many allergen triggers as possible. A steam cleaner can help to keep these allergen agents out of your house, so your allergies stay under control.
Size and Style
Today’s steam cleaners have taken an innovative leap in usability from their former counterparts. They are simple to set up, operate, and maintain. They come in a variety of styles to choose from, as well as in all ranges of sizes to best fit your environment and needs.
