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.
