| INDOOR AIR QUALITY ISSUES |
Nearly thirty percent of our nation's buildings suffer from indoor air quality issues and for the majority of these troubled buildings the problem is even more serious with a condition known as "Sick Building Syndrome". With costs related from IAQ issues estimated at over $100 billion per year in North America alone from health-care expenditures, absenteeism, lost production time as well as revenue, it's easy to see why it is one of the EPA’s top five environmental health risks of our time.
Microorganisms, dust mites, allergens, and mold spores have been identified as major contributors to common indoor air quality problems. Regular maintenance of your floor covering can reduce the amount of particulates and microorganisms which limits exposure and thus, vastly improves working conditions.

| From the CRI - Carpet and Rug Institute: |
- “Abnormally high levels of mold spores are most often associated with water damage, water intrusion, failed HVAC systems, or non-existent or ineffective cleaning systems.”
- “Carpet that is maintained in a clean, dry condition does not support mold growth. Clean and dry = no mold.”
- CRI recognizes and endorses MilliCare’s Cleaning System as an effective carpet deep-cleaning method.
|
| From Green Cleaning for Dummies by Steven Ashkin: |
- Recommends dry-polymer based carpet maintenance
- "Water left in carpet is dirty water"
|
| The Floor Care Company's Contributions to Better Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): |
- Removes particulates (soil, spores, allergens and bacteria) from carpet rather than moving them around
- Works with HVAC to effectively reduce airborne particulates, bio-aerosols, and VOCs.
- No water introduced into carpet to promote biological activity, non growth platform. No wet-carpet smell.
- Removes odors from carpet
- No VOC-emitting solvent carriers and fragrances
|
| Studies: |
Our independent studies with Air Quality Sciences, Inc. (Atlanta, GA) and John Hopkins University Dermatology, Allergy, and Clinical Immunology Reference Laboratory showed that our cleaning technology is a key factor in helping reduce the problems associated with IAQ.
|
- Total Airborne Particulates – Reduced 80% – 90%
- Airborne Total Mold Spores - Reduced 96%
- Extractable Dust Mite Allergen – Reduced 87%
- Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) on old, soiled carpet – Reduced by 99%
