Eliminating Dust Mites & Allergens through Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning


Understanding Dust Allergies and their Treatment Options
A runny or stuffy nose, watery and itchy eyes, and sneezing are some of the allergy symptoms you might encounter as a result of exposure to dust.  Vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting are some of the common household chores that can also cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and other asthma symptoms.

The most common cause of allergic reactions to house dust are dust mites also known as bed mites.  Dust mites easily multiply in warm humid places, and prefer a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or above.  Dust mites also need a relative humidity between 75-80% to thrive.  Proteins within the bodies and feces of the dust mites are the cause of allergic reactions.  Dust mites feed on skin particles and dander, so they are commonly found where there are animals and people.  Since dust mites cannot spread diseases, and do not bite, they are only harmful to people who develop allergies to them.

Dust mite protein particles are commonly found in pillows, mattresses, carpeting, and upholstered furniture.  The best way to fight dust allergies is to eliminate their source by having your carpets and upholstery thoroughly cleaned, and NEIGHBORHOOD CHEM-DRY provides the perfect solution to your dust mite and allergen problems!  In addition to using our patented carbonation extraction system for removing allergens, we also offer a Dust-Mite Anti-Allergen Spray for purchase to help control dust-mites between cleanings.  Dust-Mite Anti-Allergen is a water-based anti-allergen solution containing powerful, active ingredients that are proven effective against household dust-mite allergens.  Please call NEIGHBORHOOD CHEM-DRY today at 469.248.6388 to schedule your cleaning and/or to purchase a can of our Dust-Mite Anti-Allergen.  We also invite you to visit our Website at www.neighborhoodchemdry.com for even more information about our services.
