Carpet Acts as an Allergen Trap
Source: Carpet & Rug Institute
Simply put, what falls to the carpet (common dust, pollutants and many things that we breathe) tends to stay on the carpet until it is vacuumed. Unlike smooth surfaces that allow dust and other allergens to re-circulate, properly maintained carpet leads to improved air quality and a healthier indoor environment.
Another indoor air quality issue involves the emissions of volatile
organic compound (VOC) levels from building materials. Carpet is the
lowest VOC emitter of common flooring choices and one of the
lowest emitting products used in new construction and renovation, much
lower than products such as paint. The already low VOC emission of new
carpet drops significantly after 24 hours, even sooner with fresh air
ventilation.
The Dirt on Carpet
People who are chemically sensitive definitely have a challenge in today’s world. Carpet is no more of a problem for chemical reaction than many other products on the market.
"I just have to write and let you know that your employee did a FANTASTIC job and I'm so impressed with your services. I really can't believe it. We moved in here over 1 year ago and the carpet was in bad shape. I have a steam cleaner and I tried to use it on it. NO CHANGE whatsoever, so we've just assumed it would just look like it did. But, it looks AMAZING. I am so incredibly happy and I wanted to let you know that I absolutely will be using your services and recommend you to anyone and everyone!! Your employee was polite, efficient, skilled in what he was doing and made every effort to make sure my carpet looks the best it can look. There are stains that have been in this carpet for at least 1 1/2 years and ground in when we walked over them, etc., and they are GONE. I have used other carpet cleaning services (not on this carpet) and your guys are FAR FAR ABOVE ANY OTHER! Thank you so much!"
