Only carpet can improve indoor air quality by trapping and holding dust particles that settle on the surface.
Studies have shown there is significantly less airborne dust in a carpeted room than a room with hard flooring. This is due to carpet’s unique ability to safely hold airborne dust and allergen within the surface pile.
Regular vacuuming using a good vacuum cleaner with a micro (HEPA) filter will remove dust and dirt from the carpet.
Once carpet is laid, it should be lightly and frequently vacuumed for the first week to remove dust, lint and fluff.
Vacuuming should continue at least weekly after that to remove soil and dirt. For heavy walking traffic areas e.g. hallways – slow repeated vacuum strokes over the same area of carpet may be necessary.
