Some time ago I attended a conference on “indoor air pollution” and was presented with a
Indoor Market
report on the Environmental Protection Agency’s latest findings on the contaminants within homes

carpet and fabric.

contributes to a healthier indoor environment. We must understand that carpet and upholstery must
be kept clean for health reasons and not merely for the sake of appearance.
