EPA Says Poor Indoor Air Quality Is Fourth Largest Environmental Threat
According to a survey released by the American Lung Association, eighty-seven percent of American homeowners are not aware that pollution may be worse inside their homes than outdoors. A recent study concludes that carpet may benefit indoor air quality by acting as a filter for indoor air, trapping and holding pollutants and allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and molds, which play an important role in allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. The key then to maintaining good air quality in a home is to remove dust and pollutants often. Regular, proper vacuuming with an effective, well-functioning vacuum cleaner that has strong air flow, adjustable brushes, and an enclosed, high-efficiency filtration bag, removes most indoor contaminants. Quick removal of spots and spills is important to avoid stains and fungal growth.
While routine vacuum cleaning and maintenance of your carpets and upholstery is essential for promoting a healthy indoor environment, professional deep cleaning every twelve months by your certified Chem-Dry technician will maximize the removal of pollutants, while minimizing carpet moisture. Chem-Dry removes dirt and allergens from carpets using a patented carbonation cleaning process and cleaning product called The Natural®.
The Natural is non-toxic, so it’s safe for children and pets. And, Chem-Dry’s low moisture system helps prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from growing in your carpet. The EPA recommends having carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned at least once a year, and more often if you have children or pets or if soiling shows.

We live in one of the largest metro areas in the country and the smog is terrible. The last thing I want is carpet that has an odor.
