ProTeam vacuums capture
soil and safely contain harmful particles, as well as prevent them
from being reintroduced back into the environment. The improved air
quality is the result of ProTeam vacuums' unique Four Level Filtration
system. This system captures tiny dust mites, bacteria, and other
particles - which can cause unhealthy air.
FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT INDOOR AIR QUALITY
CARPETS:
Daily vacuuming is more important than interim deep cleaning methods.
Dry soil is abrasive; when ground into your carpet, it cuts into
carpet fibers - dulling appearance and reducing the longevity.

No. 2 Carpet can hold more than its weight in soil.
No. 3 70-80% of dust, dirt, and grime is tracked into a building
from outside.
No. 4 30% of dirt is deposited in the first 3 feet, while 90% is
tracked off in the first 25 feet.
No. 5 Carpet soil generally consists of 85-95% dry soil and 5-15%
oily soil.
No. 6 Carpet has a high surface area and is known to act as an organic
dust sink containing bio-contaminants & Allergens.
