Carpet Cleaner (generic)

What is Carpet cleaner?

Carpet cleaners are formulated products designed to remove dirt, stains, and odors from carpets and upholstery. They often contain surfactants, solvents, and fragrances that contribute to their cleaning effectiveness but may also include harsh chemicals.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Individuals may develop intolerances to carpet cleaners due to the strong chemicals and fragrances used in these products. Common reactions include skin irritation, respiratory problems, headaches, and allergies, particularly in those with sensitivities.

What can I do about it?

To address intolerance, opt for eco-friendly or natural carpet cleaners that avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Using steam cleaning can effectively sanitize carpets without additional chemicals. Ensure good ventilation during cleaning by opening windows or using fans to minimize inhalation of fumes. Always read labels and choose products that are labeled hypoallergenic or free from VOCs to safeguard against potential reactions.
