Clean Carpets or Carpets
That Look Clean?
I am testing different carpet cleaning services to see which process helps allergy and
asthma sufferers.
I can measure airborne lung damaging dust particles that can trigger asthmatic attacks.
I was at Sandra T home in Houston TX
4 PM Friday 12/14/2007.

Victor Menjivar and his assistant came by to clean the carpet.
I told them that I was going to measure the amount of dust that gets kicked up into the
air before and after the carpet cleaning.
I used a Dylos DC1100 Air Quality Monitor (laser particle counter) to measured the
airborne particles in the carpet nearest the kitchen.
I just walked around the Dylos DC1100 Air Quality Monitor twice to kick up the greater
than 5 micron particles in the air.

I measured (100 reading) 10,000 particles per cubic foot at 5 microns before the carpet
was cleaned.

4 hours after Victor Menjivar cleaned the carpet I
measured (19 reading) 1,900 particles per cubic foot at 5 microns.
This reading might not be good because the carpet was still wet.

I went back on Monday 3 days later to take another reading because the carpet was dry.

3 days after Victor Menjivar cleaned the carpet I measured (52 reading) 5,200 particles
per cubic foot at 5 microns.
3 days after cleaning the carpets, your carpet cleaning technique using the Kiwi carpet
cleaning bonnet reduced 5 micron size airborne particles about 48% .
I am not sure how well a carpet can be cleaned?
I am going to test other carpet cleaning techniques.
