What are dust mites?

House dust mites are microscopic bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets. Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard of carpet. A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day. Yuck! The combination of feces and skin sheddings are what cause allergic reactions in humans. Gross, but true.

So….What do the Carpet Manufacturer’s Recommend?

Shaw’s choice: Hot Water Extraction

Research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. This system is commonly referred to as "steam cleaning," although no steam is actually generated. Shaw warranties require that the homeowner be able to show proof of periodic cleaning by hot water extraction (commonly called "steam" cleaning) by a professional cleaning service.
