Central Vacuum Systems for the Treatment of Pet Allergies

Years ago my nephew suffered from severe asthma.  It was so bad that my sister had to give his puppy to my other sister because of his severe reactions to pet allergens.  Today we have great news for people suffering from pet allergies.

Rat_2 I found  this really creepy study done in Europe, but the news is great for those suffering from pet allergies.  It seems folks that worked with lab animals (rats, guinea pigs, etc.) developed all sorts of nasty animal related allergies resulting in asthma, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis.  The goal of the study was to find ways to reduce allergens caused from these animals, thus relieving the symptoms of lab workers. 
Here's a link to the study: http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/46/1/61#MEF022C9

"Traditionally floor cleaning has been carried out by dry sweeping  or by using a portable vacuum cleaner. Portable vacuum cleaners  without high-efficiency particulate air filtration on the exhaust  may contribute to airborne dust by leakage through the filter. Portable  vacuum cleaners may also contribute to airborne dust by disturbance  of floor dust.  To minimize the spread of allergens, floors are first cleaned  using a centralized vacuum cleaner that delivers dust into a closed  pipe conveyor with deposition into a closed container. After vacuuming,  floors are wiped using a moist mop."

After following the procedure above they concluded that vacuuming with a central vacuum system, followed by damp mopping greatly reduced the spread of pet allergens.  This is great news for folks suffering from pet allergies.

Central vacuum systems are really not too difficult to install and folks don't know they can be retrofitted into most homes.  Take a look for more information about installing a central vacuum system.

  • If you dAquaair_1o suffer from allergies or asthma there is one problem, regardless of the system, the dirt still has to be disposed of, either by emptying the dirt canister or changing a bag.  There is a solution to this problem.  We carry a central vacuum system called the Aqua-Air.  With this system you will never have to empty a dirt canister or change a bag.  The Aqua-Air Wet/Dry is the answer for all your home and business cleaning needs.  The Aqua-Air uses water to literally flush your dirt and dust down the drain.  You never have to empty a dirt canister or change a dusty bag.  This system will vacuum every surface in your home with 100% dust filtration and can immediately be used to clean those same surfaces with a warm water extraction. Simply spray mild cleaning solution on the surface then rinse and vacuum away leaving the surface clean, residue free and dry.  After screening out the debris the dirt is flushed and rinsed down the drain.  All vapors and odors are exhausted  outside the environment...for a truly dust free way to clean.  The only requirements is that the unit is placed near a water line and a drain (could be a slop sink, garage bathroom sink, or floor drain).
