Pet dander removal

You may have heard that pet dander in your home can trigger allergies, but do you know what it is? Although many people may think of pet hair, dander is actually small pieces of dead skin that are shed from your pets, including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds, just to name a few. Even the most conscientious pet owners will have to grapple with dander in their home, as these microscopic particles have a habit of sticking to just about every surface imaginable. Luckily, Green Restoration has the tools and expertise to remove pet dander allergens from your home.

PET DANDER: INVISIBLE ALLERGENS

Although it’s hard to clean something that’s too small to see, it’s important to minimize the pet dander in your home, as it can cause health issues to those allergic. Pet dander can cause itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, runny noses, and sometimes rashes. Prolonged contact can lead to developing asthma, and continued contact for those with asthma can trigger severe breathing problems. To care for anyone entering your home, keeping this allergen at bay is a must.

TIPS TO CUT DOWN ON PET DANDER

Combatting dander in your home may seem like an overwhelming task. In order to keep it under control between professional cleanings, follow these tips:

• Regular Cleaning. You may already do regular cleanings as part of your routine chores, but be sure to wipe down hard surfaces and shampoo/vacuum soft surfaces and upholstery often. This includes furniture, curtains, and carpets. There are many products on the market that specifically target pet dander.
• Bathe/Groom Your Pet Regularly. Think about your pet the way you would think of any member of the family- would you go months without bathing or brushing your hair? Pets should be bathed and brushed every 1-2 weeks, and brushing should be done outside to lessen the chance of dander spreading in the home.
• Use an Air Purifier. Get a HEPA air purifier, which will trap the microscopic dander particles that are causing you grief, and be sure to maintain it regularly. Not all air purifiers are created equal, so do your research and make sure the purifier you are buying is targeted for pets and allergens.
• Don’t Forget the Laundry. Regularly washing blankets, pillows, bedding, curtains and anything else that will fit in the laundry machine will cut down on the dander in your home!

WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL FOR PET DANDER REMOVAL
