Carpets are used for a variety of reasons including adding warmth to the room, reducing sound from shoe heels, making the floor a comfortable place to sit in and lowers the risk of accidents for kids. It’s important to make sure that your carpets are not a source of pollutants and toxins inside your home because dirty floor coverings can cause serious health issues to your family.
Skin problems
