Many people do not consider the means by which dirt and germs are tracked into the home and how such germs become viral and airborne from the ground up. Carpeting and rug fibers are perfect for mold spores and allergens to accumulate, and when stepped on, the particles break apart into the air and into your body.
Common pathogenic diseases such as Salmonella can be brought into your carpet and rug fibers from your shoes, embedding themselves and regenerating in their cozy environment.
