The Unknown Dangers of Dirty Curtains - Part 1
Curtains are a great way to really complete the look of a room in your home. They can add a sense of personality and lift up the atmosphere of your home without spending a fortune on redecorating. Most people tend to forget about their curtains when cleaning other home interior accessories, such as carpets. Little did you know, curtains can cause serious harm to your health if left unattended for long periods of time.
Over a few days we'll take a look at the 4 hidden dangers of having dirty curtains and why you should take time to have your curtains cleaned every few years.
REASON 1: Curtains accumulate allergens and dust mites
Many people overlook curtains when it comes to cleaning. Curtains withstand heat, cold, dirt, direct sunlight and act as a shield for your house. Curtain fabrics can often attract a lot of allergens and dust. These are the two main causes of allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing or runny noses.
Due to their small size, dust particles are easily carried by wind and accumulate on curtains after some time, especially curtains that are made from cotton. Some curtains are worse offenders when it comes to dust accumulation, particularly those made from thicker fabrics and have multiple curtain layers in one.
Allergens and dust mites are trapped between the layers and thus increase the chances of you getting allergy symptoms.
In a casual survey taken by HealthyWomen, 67 percent reported taking medication to help control allergy symptoms. Removing the allergens hidden in your curtains can already help relieve your allergy symptoms a lot without the help of meds.
