Research consistently shows that carpet improves indoor air quality in a number of ways. Most notably, it acts like a trap, keeping dust and allergens out of the air we breathe. Simply put, dust, pet dander, and other particles that fall to the carpet stays trapped until it is removed through vacuuming or extraction cleaning. In contrast, smooth floor surfaces like hardwoods and tile allow dust and other allergens to collect and re-circulate into the breathing zone.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a4a081 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2a4a081\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5ea183 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d5ea183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Carpet Puts You on Safer Ground<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01e9bff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01e9bff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCarpets and rugs decrease the likelihood of falls by providing better traction than other flooring options.
