Is your carpet the primary cause of allergy issues at home?

Are you finding yourself sniffling more than usual?

If you’ve recently moved into a new home with carpet or maybe you decided to change your old wooden flooring in favour for something a bit more cozy — your carpet might be the reason why you’re experiencing allergic reactions.

Here are 3 signs your carpet is giving you an allergic reaction

#1. Itchy skin

When you get in contact with your carpet, different areas of your skin becomes itchy. You may also experience red spots and bumps.

The common cause for this is dust mites. These microscopic creatures might be living in your carpet and multiplying without you even knowing.

Even if the room seems spotless, your carpet and upholstery may be housing hordes of dust mites.

#2. Coughing and sneezing

Do you start coughing, sneezing, or experience any other similar symptoms when you enter a room with carpet?

Your carpet may be decreasing the quality of your air and be causing you to experience these symptoms.

But don’t worry, this is much easier to fix than people think.

The primary cause of this, is poorly maintained carpet. To prevent your carpet from negatively affecting the air you breathe, you need to have it cleaned regularly.

If not, particles of dust, mould, pollen, and all sorts of pollutants will gather in your carpet.

Whenever someone moves around, these will then get dislodged from the fibers and be released into the air you breathe. And as a result, cause you to suffer these allergic reactions.

#3. Red itchy eyes

The cause of this is similar to sign number 2, coughing and sneezing.

Your eyes are getting red and itchy because of the pollutants being kicked into the air from the fibers in your carpet when you move across it.

Often times, properly cleaning your carpet will stop this from happening.

But for continued results, sticking to a regular cleaning schedule will make sure you don’t have to suffer from burning eyes again.
