Canadian Carpet Institute

Here's the website

www.canadiancarpet.org/

I love this info... maybe I could put the link up on my web site.

Right on Ted  FIO comes to mind [Floorcovering Institute of Ontario}

Manufacturers, Interior Designers, Distributors, Retailors, Installers, Cleaners all in one package a ton of information available from this group

I find it amazing how an industry like carpeting, tobacco, alchol, drug companies, coffee industry, chemical companies etc etc etc including all governments of the world.........just have to come up with dumb statements like 20,000 people surveyed since 2002 or whatever NON SCIENTIFIC single controlled data & they strir up their claims to be truth.

Their claims are nothing more than stupity for the insane people that believe them.

This is surely directed for the uneducated and the desperate attitude of an industry that was slowly dying a loss of market share to alternate flooring types.

How many of you out there want allergens trapped in your carpet or anywhere for that fact. Your kids play on the carpet and you walk on the carpet bare feet. A carpet contains and collect allergens, carpet beetles & their larvae, dust mites and their fecal material, dead skin cells ( Dander ) and whatever else you can think of.

Maybe your the type of guy Lee that lets your kids play with dead chicken heads too, I don't know.........but hearing this stupity from a guy that supposed to have such a profound reaction from chemicals causing constant nasel drip.............perhaps you should take a closer look at your allergen catching carpeting in your house.

Alright.................sooooooooooo........Is that supposed to make you breath easier.

Have you ever seen any data on your "True Hepa Filter System ".

Did you know that if your filter system is not cleaned after each or at least every 2nd vacuuming, the 99.9% drops to less than 60% effective. On the 3rd vacuuming it drops to under 40% which is about equal to an ordinary vacuum cleaner after the 4th vacuuming it starts to emit allergens & bacteria throughout the household for everyone to breath.

Lucky you have a carpet that traps all bacterial allergens............what would you do without it

AND THE BEAT GOES ON.........Carpet keeps trapping allergen from the air.......la di la di di........la di da di da

I love carpeting, I like the look, the feel.......it's warm and also inviting when you enter a home.........the problem is upkeep.

I have all marble, slate, and granite floors in my home, my basement is wall to wall carpeting and that's my favorite part of the house.........but I would never recommend or sell carpeting.

Commercial is different, especially for restaurants......carpeting completes the decor.
