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.
"This is the best cleaning I have had. My carpet looks as new as the day I bought it. Todd did a great job. I am very pleased. I am going to have him back to clean other areas soon."
