Your Air Quality and Carpet

Your Air Quality and Carpet

Recently, the EPA reported that indoor air is found to be more polluted than outdoor air.

Is that really true? If so, why? The main reason is that indoor air is trapped. Rarely does it get completely replaced and completely recirculate. Outdoor air on the other hand is constantly being refreshed with new, cleaner air.

Trapped air in our home constantly gets dirtier: from our clothes, shoes, our bodies, our hair, our pets, our garages, and many other sources. These contaminants eventually settle on our furniture, our floors, our rugs, and yes, our carpet.
Then, when someone walks over them, they get stirred up into the air and we breathe them in. A great example is when you look at a stream of sunlight and see all the dust floating around. You breathe that same air over and over. That's why indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.

There is a way out of this vicious cycle: Getting your carpet cleaned thoroughly and regularly rids your home of these pollutants lurking in your carpet. Yes carpet cleaning Bradenton is a major factor in improving your air quality.

The polluted air is circulated and some of it settles on horizontal surfaces--the largest horizontal surface being your carpet. That's why cleaning your carpet is the best solution for removing indoor air pollution. And that's why we recommend cleaning all rooms of carpet regularly even if they don't look dirty.

What's regular cleaning? That can vary, based on conditions in the home such as smoking, pets, children, the amount of foot traffic.
According to a U.S. EPA Letter, January 1989, the longest recommended interval between cleanings to maintain indoor air quality is 1 year.

Ask yourself: What would it be worth if regular carpet cleanings could mean one less doctor visit? What is it worth to my family to be able to breath better and get sick less often?
