To the residents of the so-called Garden City, it is the same feature that renders Christchurch beautiful, which makes it a difficult place to live in, i.e. the presence of numerous parks, private gardens and closeness to the fertile Canterbury Plains. Christchurch has been mentioned as one of the most challenging cities in New Zealand to the sufferers of allergy and asthma. Our indoor air quality is under continual attack between the spring pollen at the Hagley Park and the fine dust that is blown on the back of a Nor Wester wind. In Business All Aces Carpet Cleaning, we think that your house is not a warehouse to keep these triggers.
The Invisible Filter in your Lounge.
Another myth is that the carpets are not good with people having allergies. As a matter of fact, a carpet is a giant horizontal filter. It collects airborne dusts such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander and traps them in its fibers leaving them not to circulate inside your breathing space. But just as any filter be it the one in your vehicle or your heat pump it becomes clogged at some point.
When a carpet is already contaminated with pollutants, each foot step is a form of a bellows, puffing clouds of tiny allergens into the air. Also in the special climate of Christchurch, where we frequently change from dry and windy days to wet and humid evenings, then these trapped allergens may also be combined with moisture to provide a breeding place to mold and bacteria.
Attacking the Canterbury Triple Threat.
There are three major allergens to the residents of Christchurch that our deep-cleaning process is aimed at neutralizing:
- Seasonal Pollen: In comparison to regular vacuuming, in which, typically, the fine pollen spores are redistributed, in our Hot Water Extraction (HWE) process, they are completely flushed out. This is specifically important in the suburbs of the Port Hills or the vast green belts of Fendalton and Ilam.
- The Dust Mite Population: These are microscopic arachnids commonly inhabiting the humidity still present in the older Christchurch villas along with the riverside houses. They do not simply live in the carpet, they feed on the flakes of skin that we shed day by day. Our steam that is of high temperature (more than 90 C) kills the mites and their eggs when in touch and eliminates the waste products that, in fact, cause allergic reactions.
- Construction and Silt Dust: Years after the earthquakes, the presence of fine silt and construction dust in the city is still there. This dust is coarse and dense. This heavy stuff must be dug out of the bottom of the carpet by the professional means.
Science Over Surface Cleaning.
Most people are trying to address the problem of allergy using dry cleaning powders or sprays found in the supermarkets. Although these can be able to freshen the room, they usually leave behind chemical traces which can in fact increase the skin sensitivities such as eczema.
In Business All Aces Carpet Cleaning, we are interested in sanitization. We eliminate the triggers by applying specialized, eco-friendly rinses, as well as, potent truck-mounted vacuums. We do not cover it up we actually take it out of your house. In the case of families in Christchurch that have long-term respiratory problems, this deep flush may result in an apparent increase in the quality of sleep and fewer symptoms of allergies per day.
