Vax helps Reduce the Misery of Hayfever Season

With ‘hayfever season’ just around the corner, millions of UK sufferers are dreading the misery that pollen allergy brings. The number of people in the Western world affected by allergies is on the increase and seasonal allergic rhinitis (hayfever) is one of the most common - 20% of the UK’s population now suffer symptoms at this time of year*. To minimise these symptoms allergy experts advise staying indoors on days when the pollen count is high and keeping doors and windows closed to prevent pollen entering the home. Even this may not be enough to protect hayfever sufferers completely though, as pollen can live in carpets for up to 3 months**. Vacuuming of carpets, curtains and furniture using a vacuum cleaner with HEPA (High Efficient Particle Arrester) filtration is recommended to reduce pollen and other allergens in the home, including pet hair and dust mite residue. In addition, allergy sufferers should consider regular deep cleaning with a carpet washer starting before the hayfever season gets underway, to remove the dirt and allergens embedded deep in pile that dry vacuuming leaves behind. With prices starting from under £100, Vax’s range of carpet washers provide a fast and convenient way to deep clean your carpets, upholstery and even your car’s interior, to remove dirt and hidden allergens. They are easy to use and versatile, as they can also be used to spot clean stains and suck up spills. The award winning Vax V-124 Dual V (RRP £299.99) has heated cleaning, SpinScrubTM brushes and Dual VTM Air Path technology that delivers consistent suction across the width of the floor head, for premium cleaning performance and faster drying times. Vax offers customers total peace of mind with a 6-year parts and labour guarantee*** on all its heated cleaning carpet washers, and a UK based helpline open 7 days a week.
