Asthma and allergies: Although we might not normally associate carpet with improved indoor air quality, it does have a very positive effect. Gravity causes common household particles, such as dust, pollen and pet and insect dander, to fall to the floor. Carpet fibers trap the particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air. Proper cleaning with approved vacuums effectively removes dust and allergens from the carpet, locks them in the machine and helps keep them out of the air we breathe.

A perception is that people with asthma and allergies should avoid carpet in the home. But much of today’s carpet is made from harmless materials found in clothing and other everyday fabrics, such as polyester, nylon, triexta, and olefin fibers, which don’t trouble most people.

Sofas, chairs, cushions. If it’s upholstery, you can count on 0800tulips to put that just-bought bloom and fresh, clean smell back into natural and synthetic fabrics, and even leather.
Your health may depend on it

The fact is cleaning carpets and upholstery go hand in hand and for much the same reasons. Your health may depend on it. That’s because the microscopic dust particles we bring inside on our clothes, and skin cells we constantly shed, fall into upholstery fabric weave to feed waiting dust mites. These microscopic creatures aren’t a problem in themselves, it’s their droppings (faeces)! A major cause of allergies and asthma attacks! The trouble is, even regular vacuuming with a domestic cleaner isn’t enough to get rid of mite droppings.

Clean carpet means Clean air quality

Regular, professional carpet cleaning by 0800tulips not only keeps your carpet smelling fresh and looking like new, it actually extends the life of your carpet. The reason for this is grime and dust particles beyond the reach of your domestic vacuum cleaner can over time cut at the pile increasing the rate of wear and tear.

At 0800tulips we share your concern at the high incidence of asthma in New Zealand and the contribution mattresses make to triggering attacks.

According the Asthma & Respiratory Foundation of New Zealand around 70 – 80% of asthma is associated with allergies. One of the most common allergens (substances which provoke an allergic reaction) is house mite droppings (faeces). And where in the home is mites’ favourite living place? Mattresses!

We were really pleased with the service. The sofas smell nice again and look great. The pot-plant stains on the carpet didn’t come off entirely, but the staff had set our expectations well, so it was not a huge disappointment. All in all we would be happy to recommend 0800Tulips.

The guys were lovely, very helpful and friendly.

I was very happy with the result of my very clean lounge suite and have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.
