(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Health-conscious individuals may be surprised to learn that their homes are not necessarily as healthy as they think. Eight in 10 people in the United States have dust mites in their homes and nearly 100,000 dust mites can live in one square yard of carpet! Moreover, according to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation, six in 10 Americans have cat or dog dander in their homes (even if they do not have pets) and the air in homes can contain 70 percent as much pollen as outdoor air.
Because carpet, furniture and other materials can act as reservoirs for allergens in the home, BISSELL Homecare, Inc., the floor-care innovator and international manufacturer of home-cleaning products, last month unveiled its new Healthy Home Vacuum™ and ProHeat 2X® Healthy Home™ deep cleaner. This product line brings a powerful and fresh approach to cleaning, offering a vacuum that locks in 100 percent of captured allergens and a deep cleaner that removes four times more embedded allergen plus more bacteria and dust mites than ordinary vacuuming alone.
“Health-conscious consumers are often surprised to know their homes aren’t as clean as they may think,” says Jim Krzeminski, BISSELL’s executive vice-president and chief customer officer. “That’s why we’re offering the Healthy Home Vacuum and ProHeat 2X Healthy Home to help Americans easily maintain a healthier and worry-free environment for their friends and loved ones.”
Whereas some vacuums simply redistribute these allergens, the Healthy Home Vacuum is the only unit on the market to offer the Airetight® HEPA filtration system to trap 100 percent of allergens like dust mites, ragweed, pollen and pet dander and prevent them from escaping back into the room via the exhaust air. Plus, its nine cyclones and two motors provide non-stop suction to pull out embedded dirt for a deep-down clean. As the only bagless upright vacuum with built-in Microban® antimicrobial product protection, it effortlessly fights the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew within the machine.
In addition to vacuuming, deep cleaning is an essential step to loosen and remove deep-down dirt, allergens and bacteria from carpets and rugs. The ProHeat 2X Healthy Home thoroughly deep cleans carpets, rugs and upholstery using water and earth-friendly formulas specially designed to help remove dust mite waste, pet and pollen allergens. Its patented built-in heater continuously heats tap water up to 25 degrees for maximum cleaning.
The ProHeat 2X Healthy Home’s 12 cleaning rows of DirtLifter® PowerBrushes are powerful enough to eliminate deep-down dirt, yet gentle enough to groom carpet for professional style results. The product’s CleanShot® feature allows for heavy-duty spot cleaning at the push of a button and the Dry Aire™ system uses heated air to dry carpet as the unit cleans. Finally, just like its vacuum counterpart, the ProHeat 2X Healthy Home provides peace of mind with Microban antimicrobial product protection.
Health-conscious consumers, especially the 50 million Americans who suffer from allergies, should take comfort in knowing that products like these are available to them.
