Carpet, Upholstered Furniture and Rugs
Some basic tools will be needed to maintain your carpet, upholstered furniture, and rug investments to maintain their beauty and usefulness between professional maintenance visits.
While picking up hazardous particles from your home, scientific research by the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (www.eohsi.rutgers.edu) has determined that vacuum cleaners generate fine particulate matter due to normal wear and tear of the vacuum motor.
It is therefore likely that you can pollute the indoor environment with most vacuum cleaners on the market today.
The vacuum cleaner must have the following features to reduce this health risk to yourself and family: Post-motor filtration, a sealed vacuum system & compartment, and HEPA filters. A true HEPA filter must prove 99.97% effective at capturing particles 0.3 microns and larger in a test environment. In conjunction with a sealed system and post motor filtration, you can capture practically all dangerous fine particles.
We recommend a MIELE SEALED SYTEM vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner meets this high standard for your home and office. Models included in our recommendation are the 300 - 600 series units. The increased suction and larger capacity of the 500 and 600 series units make them the most desirable choice.
