Thank you so much for sharing. I had no idea how bad my allergies were until I got a carpet cleaning in Colorado Springs, CO. Now, I don’t sneeze everytime I walk into my house. I’m also a recent plant mother and I hope I can keep my pothos and snake plant alive to keep the allergens at bay between cleanings!
