Winter leaves more behind in your carpet than just salt.
Along with the grit and dirt that gets tracked in from outside, you also have to think about the fine particulate that settles into carpet over time. Dust is part of that equation, and where you have dust, you also have dust mites. Dust mite droppings are one of the most common indoor allergens.
I like to tell people that carpet behaves a lot like the filter in an HVAC system. It holds onto particulate that settles there, instead of letting it get stirred back up into the air as easily as it would on a hard surface floor.
Thatâs actually a good thing for Indoor Air QualityâŚas long as the carpet gets cleaned.
A carpet that is doing its job still needs to be emptied out from time to time.
