Carpets act as a first line of defense in keeping a home clean but they are also efficient collectors of dirt and a major cause of indoor air pollutants and resultant allergies. All carpets trap dust and keeping them clean can be a never-ending task. Dirt and odors are soaked up daily by the constant activity of the household. Most of the wear of carpeting is also caused by dirt. Just like conventional carpets, rug and upholstery also trap things like dirt, dust, sand, oily cooking residue, moisture etc. which ultimately cause adverse health effects.
