- Since, 74%-79% of soil can be picked up with a common household vacuum, we believe the most powerful tool you have is your vacuum…. So use it!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
