Most people judge a floor by how it looks. The EPA would point you somewhere else: the agency estimates that 80 to 89 percent of our total exposure to outdoor particles actually happens indoors.
Where does that dust come from? A surprising amount walks in on shoes, gets ground into carpet, and gets kicked back up into the breathing zone every time someone walks across it. The carpet in your lobby is not just something people see. It is something their lungs interact with.
That is why the difference between a carpet that was rinsed and a carpet that was properly extracted matters more than it looks. Embedded soil that stays in the pile keeps working its way back into the room. Proper deep extraction removes what daily vacuuming leaves behind.
