Rid Pet Dander & In Home Allergies With Carpet Cleaning in Dekalb, IL.

WHAT IS PET DANDER?

Furry friends and pets like dogs and cats are great companions, but they can be the main culprits in house hold allergies. These furry animals and their skin produce proteins that become airborne, often times creating allergic symptoms in homes. These airborne particles, smaller than pollen grains and dust mites, remain suspended in the air for extended periods of time. The misconception is that it is the hair from the animal is what causes allergies. Rather, it is the dander that causes allergic reactions. Even pets who do not shed can produce dander.
