Over 40% of the UK population are affected by allergies and the numbers are rising, yet few national resources are allocated for research into the causes or cure*

Allergy causes misery to many of us and our children, with symptoms ranging from a runny nose, itchy eyes and palate to skin rash. It aggravates the sense of smell, sight, tastes and touch causing irritation, extreme disability and sometimes fatality. It occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances.

Allergy is widespread and affects approximately one in four of the population in the UK at some time in their lives. Each year the numbers are increasing by 5% with as many as half of all those affected being children.**

What causes an Allergy & why is eco carpet cleaning important?

Allergic reactions are caused by substances in the environment known as allergens. Almost anything can be an allergen for someone. Allergens contain protein, which is often regarded as a constituent of the food we eat.
In fact it is an organic compound, containing hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which form an important part of living organisms.***

Many of the most common allergens can be both removed by professional carpet cleaning, such as;

· Walked in pollens from trees and grasses

· House dust mites & their waste

· Moulds

· Pet hairs such as cats and dogs


Unfortunately however, many Industrial and household chemicals, such as varieties used in professional carpet cleaning are also major allergens contributing to very poor indoor air quality and chemical sensitivity.

This is why Eco Carpet Care Ltd. offers a service that does not correct one problem by creating a potentially more damaging one.
