Even if you are allergic to your pets, there are ways to reduce your allergy symptoms. Options for reducing allergic reactions to pet dander and hair all start with your carpet. Call the professionals at California Steam Clean to see how they can help with pet allergy problems. We think that the benefits of having a pet outweigh the drawbacks of pet allergies. The average person can shed about a gram and a half of skin every day. Gross, right? All of these tiny particles get deeply embedded in our carpets and fabrics. These particles are also food for dust mites. Dust mites have potent allergens in their droppings that are known to cause up to 25% of allergy symptoms.

DIY Ways To Reduce Allergens
Try to create an “allergy-free” zone in your home, here are some ideas to reduce your allergy problems. You can do this by keeping pets out of the bedroom. Additionally, set up a high-efficiency HEPA air cleaner. Use hypoallergenic covers for your mattress and pillows.
Make sure to take it a step further and use HEPA air cleaners throughout the rest of the home as well. Avoid dust and dander-catching furnishings, such as cloth curtains and blinds and carpeted floors. You should clean frequently and thoroughly to remove hair and dander.
If you can, vacuum and shampoo the carpet regularly. Use dust pads to remove dust and hair from fans, furniture, ledges, and more. When the central air turns on, it will continue to blow pet hair and dander around the house.
It is important to bathe your pet weekly. This will help to reduce allergy-causing dander. You can bathe cats, but it will take longer for them to get used to this. For felines, make sure to use the proper soap for them. It’s usually a good idea to use a shampoo recommended by your vet or other animal care professionals.
Finally, try allergy shots or steroidal and antihistamine nose sprays if you can. With the combination of good housecleaning methods and allergy medicine, you can begin to reduce your symptoms. If you want to save time and money, just call our pros at California Steam Clean.
