Tips for Fall Allergies in Raleigh

Airborne allergies, mold, pollen and rag weed make it almost impossible to enjoy the beautiful fall weather ahead in the Raleigh area. These nasty allergies can make their way into your homes, establishing on carpet, rugs, upholstery and all areas of your house. Adam’s Carpet Care in Raleigh would like to offer several tips in order to help with those allergies.

1. Make Sure Your Carpets Are Clean
   Whether you are at work or relaxing at home, the tiniest airborne spores can seep into your carpet and cause allergic destruction for many individuals. We recommend either hiring a home carpet cleaner to come in and do a thorough sweep of the entire house, with biodegradable cleaning products and experienced workers, or attempting to do it yourself.
2. Air Filters
   Now is the time to make sure the air filters in your home are changed and clear. Just as the airborne allergy inhibitors can attack your rugs, carpet and upholstery, they can also creep up into the air filters for the aerial approach.
3. Limit Time Outdoors
   Everyone loves to be outside with the great fall weather on its way, but when possible, try to stay indoors. If you are in a clean environment with freshly steamed carpets, your will have a much better chance of surviving the allergy season.
4. Windows & Doors
   Once all the above steps are taken, you want to double check to make sure the windows and doors are being shut during the day so the the pollen and mold will not carry into your home and be absorbed by your rugs, carpets and filters. Adam’s Carpet Care recommends the fact that “Cleaner is Better” when dealing with Fall allergies and we follow our own advice every fall season.
