Do you
suffer from indoor, outdoor, or seasonal allergies? You are not
alone.
It is
estimated that allergies affect more than 50 million Americans. Many
people go inside to seek shelter when pollen levels climb too high,
but even that doesn't always help. If you can't seem to shake your
allergies whether you are at home, at work, or outside, your air
ducts may be to blame.
What's in your air ducts?
If you
don't have your air ducts professionally cleaned on a routine basis,
they may be harboring all kinds of unwanted contaminants. The average
household generates 40 pounds of dust each year, and much of it can
settle into your air ducts. Your ductwork then acts as a
transportation system, circulating this dust and other pollutants to
every area of your home where they can cause symptoms such as
sneezing, coughing, sore throat, and itchy eyes. Other allergens
commonly found in air ducts include:
- Pet dander
- Mold and mildew
- Pollen
- Cigarette smoke
- Rodent droppings
What can you do?
The
only way to effectively remove these impurities from your air ducts
is by calling a professional cleaning service. Do not attempt to
clean your air ducts yourself. Not only are DIY cleanings
ineffective, they can be dangerous to your health, especially if you
are dealing with mold or mildew. High-powered tools such as rotary
brushes and truck-mounted vacuums are the only way to completely rid
your ducts of contaminants.
