Putting Your Carpet to Work

It’s used to getting walked all over, but now your carpet may be willing to do even more for you. Netherlands carpet manufacturer DESSO has introduced a new type of carpet specially developed to improve the air quality inside buildings.

The new type of carpet, called AirMaster, is eight times more effective in trapping particulate matter than hard floors and four times more effective than a standard carpet, thus greatly reducing the particulates breathed by building occupants. This was the conclusion of a study conducted by the independent German testing institute GUI.

This makes DESSO the world's only manufacturer to offer a product certified with the GUI's golden logo, which means that the carpet is 80% more effective than hard floors when it comes to trapping particulate matter.

The new Airmaster carpet from DESSO is primarily aimed at offices, hospitals, schools and other public buildings. DESSO if guaranteeing that AirMaster provides a significant improvement of the indoor climate and reduction in the risk of health-related problems.

Now if it could only vacuum itself. . .
