Dust Mites
Dust mites crawling in carpet
Dust mites are invisible to the naked eye and can only be viewed through a microscope. They thrive in damp and warm environments. The mites are completely harmless to your allergies, however it’s their droppings that can be a danger to your health. These droppings become airborne and can be harmful when inhaled aggravating such allergies as asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis.
Bacteria

Bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter and E Coli can form in your carpet as a result of crumbs from contaminated food waste and dirt that you and your pets walk into the pile. Bacteria forms in damp environments. According to Men’s Health your carpet can harbour up to 4000 more bacteria than your toilet seat. Such bacteria can provoke your allergies, but in extreme cases can cause serious illness. So you have to be especially cautious if you have a baby crawling across the floor or a vulnerable pet.
So we have identified that your carpet is packed full of dust mites and bacteria but who do you turn when it comes to carpet cleaning for allergies?
Choosing The Right Company?
Most professional carpet cleaning companies have their own successful methods for removing dust mites and bacteria from your carpet. However in our professional opinion the Host dry carpet system has the edge when it comes to allergies.
Host plant-based sponges
No water is used. Bacteria and dust mites thrive in damp environments and although wet and steam systems can kill and remove allergens there is always a little moisture left over. According to studies only 60-85% of the water used can actually be removed from the carpet.
The sponges used for cleaning are plant based therefore are completely harmless to touch.
The dust mites and allergens are eliminated by the counter rotating brushes and extracted by a vacuum cleaner that is about 10 times more powerful than your domestic vacuum cleaner, leaving your carpets smelling fresh and ultimately elevating your allergic symptoms.
