Dust Mites
Home Dust Mite Removal Wellington
House dust is the major cause of allergy, with sufferers complaining of a runny or stuffy nose, itchy, watery eyes and sneezing all year round. In addition, dust can also trigger asthma attacks of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. A single speck of dust may contain fabric fibres, human skin scales, animal danders, bacteria, cockroach parts, mould spores, food particles or other organic and synthetic materials. A dirty house can worsen the problem, but more-thanordinary housekeeping measures may be needed to help relieve house-dust allergy. That’s where Capital Carpet Cleaning in Wellington come to the rescue.
Anti Allergen and Dust Mite Treatment
No matter how clean your home or office may be, it is impossible for you to clean away dust mites.
The task of removing dust is complicated by the fact that vacuuming, dusting, and sweeping can actually raise dust levels in the air.
Even thorough vacuuming and dusting do not reduce the number of mites growing in carpeting or mattresses.
Our professional carpet cleaners at Capital Carpet Cleaning can use specialised cleaning agents and where necessary apply an allergy relief treatment to reduce the levels of these allergens in your home.
What Are Dust Mites?
Dust mites are distantly related to spiders, fleas and ticks. They survive and multiply best when humidity is at 75-80% and temperatures around 25 degrees. Feeding on skin scales, they love bedding, carpet, upholstered furniture, clothing, cupboards and car upholstery. Their faecal pellets are so tiny and light that they float into the air when carpet is walked upon, bedding is shaken, or the vacuum is on. They survive vacuuming by burrowing deep in carpet fibres using the sticking pads on their legs. But don’t worry — Capital Carpet Cleaning has the equipment to leave your home clean and dust mite free!
