Dust mites are microscopic bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets.  They can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics  and others who are allergic to them and their faeces.  Nearly 100,000 mites can live in 1 square yard of carpet.  A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings per day containing a protein to which many people are allergic.  The proteins are a combination of faeces and shed skin and they cause allergic reactions in humans.  Reactions can range from itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing to full asthma attacks.

Cleaners UK of Warrington can kill these dust mites stone dead with our professional cleaning systems, working at high temperatures to ensure your work or home environment is completely clean and dust mite free.

Carpet is a virtual magnet for allergens like dust mites (mentioned above) pet dander, mould spores and other potentially aggravating proteins.  Allergens are antigens that provoke allergic reactions in people with hyper sensitive immune systems.  Allergens can be triggered by many things found in the home such as carpet and fabric.  Carpets can contain 100 times more allergens than hard floors.

The Asthma and Allergy foundation of America says that there are more allergens on surfaces than in the air, and the slightest movement can disturb them.  That means that whenever you sit or walk on carpet you send allergens airborne where they can circulate for up to several hours.  Allergens trapped in carpet are especially troubling for family's with small children.  Children's immune systems are more sensitive to foreign substances like the ones found in carpets, and they spend a lot of their time closer to the ground.  One square meter of carpet can average 67 grammes (2 ounces) of dust, all coming into contact with a crawling child.  For example an infant could end up swallowing 10 grammes (0.4 ounces) of dust daily (source/ green guide).  A horrible thought but true!
