Allergy Season in Norwich? Why Carpet Cleaning Can Improve Indoor Air Quality

Blog post description.If you suffer from sneezing, itchy eyes, or breathing problems when spring and summer arrive, you’re not alone. Allergy season in Norwich can make life uncomfortable for many households. While pollen is the obvious culprit, many people don’t realise that their carpets and upholstery can also trap allergens, making symptoms worse indoors.

How Carpets Contribute to Allergies

Carpets act like filters, catching pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and other airborne particles. Over time, these allergens build up deep in the fibres. Vacuuming removes surface dirt, but it rarely reaches the allergens embedded below.

As you walk across the carpet, these allergens get stirred back into the air, leading to:

Sneezing and runny noses
Itchy or watery eyes
Worsened asthma or breathing difficulties
Increased discomfort during high-pollen months

Why Professional Carpet Cleaning Helps

Our hot water extraction carpet cleaning in Norwich goes deep into carpet fibres, removing allergens that regular vacuuming leaves behind. The process also:

Eliminates dust mites and bacteria.
Neutralises odours caused by pets or dampness.
Leaves carpets cleaner, fresher, and safer for children and pets.

By removing allergens at the source, you can breathe easier indoors — even when pollen counts are high outside.

Upholstery Cleaning for Allergy Relief

It’s not just carpets that hold allergens. Sofas, armchairs, and cushions are hotspots too. Our upholstery cleaning service in Norwich lifts dust, pollen, and pet dander from soft furnishings, reducing allergy triggers throughout your home.

How Often Should You Clean Carpets for Allergies?

For allergy sufferers, we recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6–9 months, particularly in spring and late summer when pollen levels are highest in Norwich. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and helps maintain better air quality year-round.
