How Can I Carpet Clean Pet Dander?

Pet dander (dead skin cells) and other animal allergens such as cat saliva come from all household pets. In addition to cats, animal allergens can also be found on dogs, birds, hamsters and guinea pigs. Most people believe that the allergic reaction comes from the animals fur, and that shorter hair animals will cause less allergic reaction. In reality, the allergic reactions that people experience with there pets comes from proteins secreted from the animals oil glands. This oil is deposited on the animals skin. That old skin is shed and becomes airborne, contributing to poor indoor air quality and may cause allergic reactions such as rashes, breathing difficulties, watery eyes, coughing and dizziness.
