Dust and Dust Mites
Dust and dust mites are present in every home. The amount of dust will vary depending on the type and age of your home, the temperature and humidity in the home, what you keep in the home,, and who lives in the home. Some dust is present in every home, regardless of how often or how thoroughly the house is cleaned. House dust is an airborne mixture that might contain fine particles of soil and plant material from indoors or outdoors, particles of human and animal skin and hair, fabric fibers, mold spores, dust mites, fragments of insects that have died and their waste, food particles, and other debris. Although many substances in dust can trigger allergic symptoms, the most important indoor allergens are dust mites, pet dander, cockroaches, and molds.



Dust, dust mite feces, animal dander and mold spores are a major cause of allergic reactions. All of these irritants are found underneath furniture and deep in your carpeting. Most vacuums allow particles as large as 50 microns to be blown back into the air. These pollutants stay suspended in the air for hours increasing the risk of respiratory distress. This is why many people experience sneezing and watery eyes while vacuuming. So how do you keep everything clean?

Indoor Allergy Symptoms can include, but are not limited to:

Canister Vacuums or HEPA Filter Vacuums
