As much as 90 percent of our time is spent inside, especially during colder weather. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency estimates the air inside homes is two to five times more polluted than the outside air.

Your carpets act like a filter, trapping dust, pollen, allergens, and other particles away from the breathing zone. These pollutants need to be removed through proper vacuuming and deep cleaning extraction to keep your family healthy.

The average American family has their carpets cleaned once every 7 years. Most people don’t feel they need to clean their carpets because they don’t “see” the dirt. A 12 x 12 carpeted room can hold 80 lbs. of dirt without looking dirty.

When entering a home it can take up to 7 steps to completely remove soil from the bottom of shoes. Instead of soiling your entryways, get a properly sized mat that has a nylon face and vinyl back. This will help moisture and oil absorption. If possible, put the entry mat on a hard surface instead of carpet. As always… remove your shoes!
