The decision to get a true professional into the house to clean out the allergens has been made, but what cleaning packages should you choose? Some services have a selection board that looks like a menu at a restaurant. Before choosing haphazardly, take the time to ask a few questions that can make this process a bit easier.
Before you look at anything else, if there are children in the home, this is going to be a very quick discussion. When children are involved, the whole place needs to be spotless. If there are old mattresses, rugs and furniture in the home, it is best to sign up for a plan that will clean the place from top to bottom and make sure all allergens are removed.
Adults will often think that since they are not coughing or wheezing all of the time, that there are no issues in the home. However, dust mites and allergens will affect children much differently than they will children. If children are exposed to these types of things for a prolonged period, they can end up with lifelong respiratory problems.
While a complete package would be ideal, the services will usually be available on a single service basis as well as complete packages. If you just purchased new bedding, but the furniture is old, you can choose what you want until you need all of the services. At that time, you can take advantage of the all-inclusive packages that can save you some additional money.
When you first went online, you probably thought this would take about two seconds to be done. However, you are more than likely realizing how important it is to find the right company and the right cleaning packages for your home. The bright side is that when you finally do find the right service, you home will be clean, free of allergens and everyone can rest their heads on a clean mattress knowing there are no dust mites beneath them.

Using Allergy Relief Cleaning Just Makes Sense
Suffering during allergy season is something you would not wish on anyone. Now imagine going through that during the whole year. That is exactly what people who suffer from indoor allergies have to deal with. Instead of continuing to suffer, use an allergy relief cleaning service to get the allergens and dust mites out of the home.
The main consideration for using an allergy cleaning service is the fact that they can come in and properly deal with all of these issues. Trying to do this on your own is only asking for trouble. Most home steam cleaners are not capable of cleaning like a professional machine and it is unlikely that you will be able to make and use the allergy solutions that they use to treat your bedding and furniture.
Dust mites are something that we have all heard about, but would like to believe that our home is free from. The sad news is that if your bedding has gone more than eight months without a cleaning, it is probably infested with these little creatures. If waking up with a headache, congested and water eyes is the norm, you probably have a phone call to make.
Using services that are professionally trained to deal with these types of things can make a huge difference. They will come in, test the home and then treat the areas to ensure that these allergens are gone. From that point forward, make sure you that you have a cleaning about every six to eight months and the problems should be gone forever.
Do you need to use a professional service? In all honesty, yes you do. Your health and that of your family is far too important to trust to some random steam cleaner that you found on Amazon.com. If you want your home cleaned properly and to be allergy free, use an allergy relief cleaning service to make sure that it is done the right way.

Pet Allergies
Our beloved household pets are one of the most common sources of allergic conditions. Many people think that pet allergies are triggered by the fur of cats and dogs, but, researchers have found that the major allergens are proteins secreted by oil glands in the animals skin and shed in dander, along with proteins in saliva, which stick to the fur when the animal licks itself. Pet urine is also a major source of allergy-causing proteins.
Cats are more likely than dogs to cause allergic reactions in humans. They lick themselves more frequently and are more often held than dogs. They also tend to spend more time indoors than dogs. Consider the following:
• Vacuum frequently (did I mention that already?)
• Wash hands after handling pets & wear a dust mask when changing a litter box
• Have a non-allergic family member brush pets outdoors frequently.
• Bathe pets weekly, to keep dander from accumulating.
• Keep pets off of furniture.
• Keep pets out of the bedroom.
• Call us to treat urine-damaged areas.

Furniture Care Tips
Furniture Care Tips...
Furniture manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric’s original color, appearance, and texture and the greater the adverse affect on indoor environmental quality.
Here are some tips for maintaining your furniture:
• Control soil by using arm caps and rotating seat cushions frequently to prolong life and appearance of areas prone to wear and tear.
• Remove dry soil by vacuuming and, depending on the fabric, brushing to remove dust and soil particles.
• Increased cleaning may be required when fabric is subjected to heavy use, or when it is located in homes occupied with persons with allergies or respiratory sensitivity.
