Pet dander can live deep in your carpet and continue to collect over time – which can potentially enhance your allergies. Although some people think that vacuuming can help remove this dander, it can sometimes make it worse. A standard vacuum cleaner may even spit dander back into the air, making allergies even worse.

Sparkle Floors and Carpet can press the reset button on your carpets to give you the fresh start you need. Once you’ve had a deep carpet cleaning – we can provide you with solutions that will help you avoid dander build up in your “like new” rugs.

One of the first tips we offer our clients is to repeatedly vacuum your home on a weekly basis. This is essential because your pet will continue to leave behind dander in any room it enters. Another suggestion is to use a HEPA vacuum. HEPA vacuums are stronger and able to pick up more dander than a standard one. This will offer you the best chance of stopping pet allergens from excessively building up.

Additionally, it is very important to keep other surfaces clean to avoid from transitioning to your carpet. In order to keep dander under control, try regularly dust walls, ceilings, baseboards and furniture to rid the allergy-inducing particles. There are many cleaning products available that are nontoxic, eco-friendly and gentle enough for your children and pets.
