"A clean carpet is a good carpet"
There may be pieces of insects, dust, soil lumps, hair, animal remains, human skin cells, cigarette ash.
Recent studies have shown that dead cockroaches and their residuals in homes can cause asthma. About 30 to 40 percent of the infections inside your home are transported out of the outside environment.
They can enter through your footwear, your clothes or your paws and hair of your pets.
Children are at greater risk of exposure to dust contamination since they sit and swing on the floor and put their hands in their mouths.
Many studies confirm that the greatest number of environmental exposure and risk, especially for young children, arises within homes.
Children are not the only ones at risk of infection but also anyone suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems or a weak immune system.
With the first four steps within your home you carry about 85 percent of the outside environment infections within your home.
By taking some simple steps you can upgrade your home health and reduce the cleaning time of your home.
Place entrance mats on each external entrance and even the entrance between garage and house if any.
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends adopting an entry system that will trap soil, contamination and moisture at the entrance.
Place a hard mat outside the entrance for scratching your shoes before entering the house.
Inside the house place a highly absorbent mat that will trap the dust and moisture at a lower level of the shoe.
If there is space, it is good to place another mat to retain any dust and moisture remaining at the bottom of your shoes.
It traps 90% of the incoming dust.
Reduce the cost of maintaining and cleaning your space.

Dust that is transported within your premises is the No. 1 reason for maintenance problems of lifts.
A dirty floor is the worst image and the worst subconscious message of a company to its guests.
The choice of mat depends largely on the size of the building, the number of people entering and the environment in which it will be placed. For example, is the outdoor environment prone to rain, snow or soil? This can be a problem in Northern Europe, while in southern Europe you may have a bigger problem with sand and gravel.
Then you should consider: how many people will enter the entrance on a daily basis? This has a tremendous effect on carpet selection. Safety and aesthetics also play an important role.
For a company, a good first impression is vital and the building manager will probably choose an expensive high strength mat that will remain in good condition even in the most adverse weather conditions.
"The quality of your life becomes our own affair."
When selecting a mat, it is important to consider the volume of traffic. It should also examine whether the material used on the mat should be absorbent or non-absorbent.
Only about 50 percent of the buildings today have a mat-well designed by the architect - and this is usually very small. Additional space for mat should be provided as a second obstacle.
Airports and shopping centers meet the toughest conditions for a carpet. When people go home they automatically wipe their feet on the entrance carpet, but they do not do that when they walk to a mall.
On the contrary, in the aforementioned spaces they expect the magic mat to clean and dry their shoes. Thus, in a shopping center or airport where there is frequent movement of wheel objects (saddlebags, suitcases, carts), as well as increased circulation, the mat should be designed to withstand frequent use and to have high resistance to heavyweight moving objects. The design should allow the mat to successfully trap the dirt - but not high heels.
There are many different reasons why the manager of a commercial, industrial or hospitality industry will choose a placement of a mat. A company, for example, may require a carpet to enhance its image while a supermarket may want to mainly prevent slides and flaws. Other facilities simply need a resilience solution for high traffic and to avoid the mud and dirt that visitors might carry inside the building.
This means that the hospital manager would possibly choose a different type of mat, for example, from a supermarket manager. But what criteria do they decide on which carpet is suitable for a facility?
K.E. Dust Control offers a range of options from a simple entrance mat to professional mat, for busy venues such as commercial buildings and airports.
In each case of space that the mat will be installed the place and location should be considered before the placement in order to see if there is a recess or smooth surface. If the entrance has an unusual shape or a rotating door system, and how much wear the mat it is likely to take. In some cases, it should also look at the kind of footwear that may be worn by users. Other factors to be considered include how often the mat should be cleaned, the cleaning method required, its suitability for access by wheel objects (e.g., wheelchairs, suitcases) and the cost of the product. It is also important to weigh the main properties that will be needed to fulfill the mats mission as they will vary according to the type of building. A mat for a hospital, for example, should be suitable for access by a wheelchair and trolley. It should also be able to absorb moisture and dust from footwear.
Since hospitals are usually an environment of increased traffic, a durable mat with durable ironing properties is essential. Careful cleaning is imperative in this type of environment which means that an entry system with a solid surface is preferable.
Good resistance to wear is also required in a supermarket, as the store will attract increased traffic. The mat here should be able to withstand the weight and constant pressure from the strollers while allowing easy access. If the mat is not installed in a recess then oblique edging is required for easy access and to prevent rollover risks. Entry mats in an office must be practical and functional. They should also create a good impression of the company's image for visitors. Mats with the company logo are a popular choice for companies interested in promoting their brand or corporate message. There are several new technologies for trapping pollutants. Outdoor PVC carpets are placed on the outside of the entrance, recessed or free in front of the entrance. It keeps dirt and sludge at the base, giving you a clean look at your entrance. The type of building usually determines the type of mat in relation to the purpose of using the building. Up to 80 percent of the dust in the facility is transferred from the visitors' shoes and the mat should ensure that the majority of the dirt has stopped at the entrance.
