Allergy Relief
Are you one of the 70 million Americans who suffer from allergies or allergy related illnesses? Or, maybe someone in your household is. Either way, allergies are miserable to suffer through.
The Culprits
Microscopic, 8-legged dust mites are invisible to the eye at just 0.3 millimeters long. Over 7,000 can fit on a penny! However, throughout its short lifetime a dust mite will produce 200 times its own body weight in feces! Gross!
It is estimated that 80-90% of the 70 million people are allergic to the protein allergens from dust mites feces. Here's a partial list of the effects this can have on us:
-
Congestion
- Runny Nose
- Teary Eyes
- Dry Cough
- Headaches
- Fatigue ...and more!
This tiny creature is not a good roommate to have. However, you just may be living with millions of them! In fact, they can be found in almost every household in America.
Dust mites feed off shed human skin and can be found in carpets, fabric upholstered furniture, curtains and especially, mattresses. In fact, mattresses contain 60% of the dust mites found in a home! Other culprits of our allergies include cockroach droppings, dog dander and cat saliva.
The Solution
The likelihood of eliminating all dust mites from your home is virtually impossible. However, you can keep it under control and improve your surroundings to be more healthy to exist in.
With our Allergy Relief Treatment we have the ability to "take care" of dust mites extremely quickly. Relief is often seen within the first few days, sometimes overnight! Here's how we do it:
- Safely disinfect for viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, bed bugs, dust mites and other foreign organisms.
- Thoroughly clean the carpet, furniture and mattresses using organic cleaning solutions.
- Apply an anti-allergen solution that actually changes the allergens caused by dust mite droppings (along with the other culprits) so they're no longer "recognized" by the body's immune system.
- Provide you with other ways and suggestions to protect yourself from allergens.
This specialized treatment alleviates the body's allergy attack! In a nutshell, we eliminate the cause of your allergies! Our Allergy Relief Treatment also has a residual effect for up to 6 full months. How cool is that?
NOTE: Allergy Relief Treatment is only included in our Mattress Cleaning service. For your carpet, upholstered furniture and draperies, request this as an add-on service.

What is HEPA?
It's a type of air filter. HEPA is an acronym High Efficient Particulate Air filter as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy. A HEPA filter can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles that are as small as 0.3 micrometers in diameter. That's 1,000 times smaller than a dust mite. No dust mite is getting through a HEPA filter!
