Dust mites thrive in moderate temperatures and moderate humidity. Carpeting gives dust mites a warm and moist environment
where they find human skin flakes (which we shed constantly), their main source of food.
House dust contains allergens from many sources including dust mites, animal dander, pollen, and mold. As these
particles are stirred up in your home, they stay suspended in the air for long periods of time. This happens when the
carpet is walked upon, when sitting or rising from upholstery, and when airing out blankets or a room. This is what often
triggers allergic reactions. Removing allergens from your carpet, upholstery, and fabrics will allow you to breathe easier
and feel better!
