Does Duct Cleaning Help Allergies?

Allergists Encourage Duct Cleaning
An allergy sufferer doesn’t have to go far to learn the benefits of duct cleaning. A quick trip to the local allergy clinic and they discover that, among other things (like mattress cleaning, and freezing pillows, etc), duct cleaning ranks high on the list of allergy cleaning or allergy proofing a house.
Don’t Stop at Just Duct Cleaning
There are many other steps you can take to “Allergy-Proof” your home. Duct Cleaning is only one step, here are a few more ideas:
- Hire a mattress cleaning company – dust mites feed on dead skin and perspiration (sorry, it needed to be said).
- Purchase mattress encasements – prevent dust mites from getting into the mattress.
- Clean the drapes, carpet and upholstery – the mattress cleaning people should be able to advise you.
- Get an air purifier – air purifiers have come a long way in eliminating airborne allergens.
- Freeze your pillow and children’s plush toys – what’s living, won’t be for long.
Recommended Allergy Reading:
Rather than read all the blogs listed above, you could just call your allergist. Better yet, call an air duct cleaner, carpet cleaner and a mattress/upholstery cleaning company. You will be glad you did!

I agree with you about air duct cleaning being important for people that have allergies. We have had many doctors not releasing patients from the hospital until the air ducts were thoroughly cleaned by us with our power vac truck air duct cleaning process. The patients had severe allergies and asthma and the doctor wanted to make sure the indoor living environment was clean enough.
