Media Release   Winter Wellness Tip   30 May 2011 Stay Healthy This Winter   It is generally accepted that people will catch more colds at this time of year and there is a lot of focus on taking vitamins, cold & flu medicines and keeping warm.   What’s often overlooked is having a clean and healthy home and that begins with carpets. Carpets are a great choice for flooring because they act as an air filter, trapping pollutants and saving us from breathing them in. The problem is when carpets are not cleaned regularly these pollutants build up and can contribute to illness at times when the house is closed up over the colder months.   By the time that the build up of pollutants in the carpet becomes visible then the carpets are already way past due for cleaning! Filtration lines are an example of this, when you can see very dark lines around the edges of a room. These can be successfully cleaned by a skilled professional so don’t wait until it’s warmer, take action now and give yourself and your family a better chance at a healthy winter this year.    ------------------------------------ For more information, contact: Atlas Chem-Dry Directors Paul Addison & Karen Raymond Service@AtlasCD.com.au or +61 (8) 8269 2626
