Allergy causes misery to many of us and our children, with symptoms ranging from a runny nose, itchy eyes and palate to skin rash. It aggravates the sense of smell, sight, tastes and touch causing irritation, extreme disability and sometimes fatality.
Allergy is widespread and affects approximately one in four of the population in the US at some time in their lives. Each year the numbers are increasing by 5% with as many as half of all those affected being children.
What causes an Allergy & why is Master Steamer important?
Allergic reactions are caused by substances in the environment known as allergens. Almost anything can be an allergen for someone. Allergens contain protein, which is often regarded as a constituent of the food we eat. In fact it is an organic compound, containing hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which form an important part of living organisms.
Many of the most common allergens can be both removed by professional carpet cleaning, such as;
· Walked in pollens from trees and grasses
· House dust mites & their waste
· Molds
· Pet hair such as cats' and dogs

Most people assume that it is the carpeting that is the problem, but it may, in fact, be the carpet pad and/or the moisture that it comes into contact with in the carpeting. This realization has led many companies to manufacture a hypoallergenic carpet pad, so that even allergy sufferers can enjoy the warmth and comfort of carpeting in their homes. What do you need to consider when you are looking for a hypoallergenic carpet pad to be installed in your home?
You first need to realize that the term "hypoallergenic" does not mean that there will not be any allergens.
Hypoallergenic means that the item causes fewer allergic reactions, or reduces allergic symptoms. There is really no way to guarantee that there will be absolutely no allergic reactions from a specific item, simply because each person is different. These differences are what make us so special, but it also is a problem when dealing with allergies, because it is hard to determine what levels of a particular allergen can be tolerated before an allergic reaction.
In the carpet world, a hypoallergenic carpet pad usually includes a moisture resistant property that helps to make the carpet pad anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal. Depending upon the manufacturer, you may find slight differences between one company and another, but these are the main allergens that the padding is resistant to.
- Anti-bacterial means that the carpet padding is resistant to bacteria growing in or on the carpet padding. This helps to keep bacteria growth down, which can exacerbate allergies or asthma.
- Anti-microbial means that the carpet padding is made to resist the growth of any type of microbe, including bacteria, fungus, viruses, and other microbial growth.
- Anti-fungal means that the carpet padding keeps fungus from growing in or under the padding.
A hypoallergenic carpet pad is also normally completely synthetic with no animal or plant fibers that can cause allergy symptoms. While there are some naturally occurring substances that are naturally hypoallergenic, they are not commonly used in the manufacturing of carpet padding. The chemicals that are used in creating the hypoallergenic pad are inert, which means that they will not outgas or decompose, either. All of these factors add up to create a carpet pad that is safe for allergy sufferers to use in their home.
If you or a member of your family suffers from allergies or even asthma, you will want to consider hypoallergenic carpet padding when you have carpet installed in your home. By using this type of carpet pad, you are helping to protect your family from as much of the allergen exposure as possible from the carpet padding. Every little bit that you do will add up to help in decreasing allergy and/or asthma symptoms.
