Your carpet serves as a magnet that collects a variety of pollutants and contaminants from various sources. Indoor sources include air conditioners, heaters, pets, trash cans, stoves, furnishings, tobacco smoke and food particles. Outdoor sources include pollen and spores from trees, plants and other vegetation as well as exhaust fumes from cars, fireplaces and barbecues. It's estimated that 80% of all carpet soil comes from matter tracked in from outside.
You would be surprised to know how much dirt, pollen, and other contaminants can hide in a carpet, though it may look clean. Frequent vacuuming helps considerably, but nothing replaces the kind of deep down clean the Rug Doctor ® carpet cleaner provides.
