Multiplying the facts about carpet

Making the right decisions about flooring choices starts with having the facts. However, sometimes customer interest in carpet is tempered with questions about carpet’s relationship to asthma and allergy, indoor air quality or mold growth.  

In other instances, professionals such as green builders and architects are simply not aware of the green properties of carpet. Still others may not realize the importance of using the right cleaning solutions and equipment to prolong the life and beauty of carpet.
