HEPA filters come in different shapes, sizes, configurations and products. For our end, we offer HEPA filtration equipment as part of our allergy deep-clean package, which covers HEPA vacuuming of air vents as well as air filters, etc. HEPA stands for “High Efficiency Particulate Air,” and it is used in a variety of applications such as air filters, vacuum bags and other types of contamination control. To carry its designation, a HEPA filter must trap 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns or larger. If you suffer from allergies, HEPA filters are your friend as they contain more particles and contaminants than traditional filters.

Pet dander can be a major contributor to allergies. Some people unfortunately have an allergic reaction to the proteins that are found in the skin cells, saliva or urine of cats, dogs and other pets. In most cases, people with allergies to certain animal species are still able to live with their pets, thanks to the help of allergy medications and other treatments – in combination with consistent, thorough, religious cleaning of the home. If you suffer from pet allergies and have a buildup of years’ worth of pet dander in your home, call on Enviropure’s allergy cleaning in Ottawa. We perform a deep cleaning, getting rid of all that pet dander, so that you can breathe better. Want to hire us after that for regular or periodic cleaning? Great idea! We’ll help keep that pet dander at bay so that you or your family member can breath better.

Yes, it can! Unfortunately for allergy sufferers, pollen and other allergy triggers that are otherwise found outside (flowers, trees, grass, etc.) can and do make their way into homes and offices as well. How does this happen? The most likely culprit is open windows, patio doors, etc. Everyone likes the feeling of a nice breeze coming into the house on a spring or summer day. Allergy sufferers, however, also know that these breezes can bring allergy triggers. Even if all the windows are closed, allergy triggers such as pollen can enter the house through other pores, including HVAC air exchanges, etc. Our allergy cleaning and deep cleaning can help get rid of the pollen and other allergy triggers that have built up over the years!

Clean religiously! Trust us, we’ve seen some crazy buildup of allergy triggers in homes and offices – from pollen to pet dander and much more. Even when you hire Enviropure for regular home cleaning, you’ll want to stay on top of things by cleaning and vacuuming regularly to keep those allergy triggers at bay.

Wash your towels and bedding more often than you (probably) currently do – once a week at least, if not more. Clean your windows, blinds and drapes – allergens can accumulate more here, be it pollen from the outdoors and/or pet dander from indoor pets.

Also, control moisture wherever possible. This will help keep away mold and mildew. Bathrooms are a big source of moisture. Basements also tend to see higher amounts of moisture. Use a dehumidifier when called for.

HEPA filters, from air filters to vacuum bags, will also help you control potential allergy triggers.
