ProTeam High-filtration HEPA Vacuum Improves Indoor Air Quality
Carpeted floors are pretty much the norm in most office environments. In fact, carpet accounts for between 70-80 percent of the floor coverings in US workplaces. Not only do they help with the noise level, increase comfort and look great, they also help keep the building healthy. Obviously, a quality vacuum cleaner plays a pivotal role in enhancing indoor air quality, providing benefits that extend beyond just tidying up floors.
Did you know that carpets actually trap particles so that dust and other allergens are kept out of the air? By trapping these particulates in the carpet, it reduces their circulation and therefore improves the indoor air quality.
But, what happens to all these trapped particles?
Ideally, these trapped particles are sucked up by the vacuum. Removing the dirt, dust, allergens, and microorganisms from carpets and surfaces prevents these particles from becoming airborne and circulating in the environment. This containment of pollutants is especially crucial for individuals with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to airborne irritants.
Regular vacuuming also prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt that can settle on surfaces and contribute to respiratory discomfort. By maintaining a cleaner environment, vacuum cleaners create a more comfortable space for occupants. Plus, they reduce the risk of allergies and promote overall well-being.
As you can see, a vacuum cleaner serves as a frontline defender against indoor air pollutants. Its ability to contain allergens and particles not only keeps surfaces clean but also significantly improves indoor air quality. This benefits the health and comfort of everyone in the work space.
Not All Vacuum Cleaners are Equal
The fact is, which vacuum cleaner is used makes all the difference. It’s a matter of whether those particulates are removed from your facility or just tossed back into the air to effect the indoor air quality. According to ProTeam, “Some vacuums used in commercial cleaning applications return up to 40% of all dirt collected right back into the air.”
