Each footfall on a carpet could loft untold amounts of particulate matter back into the air.

PM 2.5 are invisible particulates that can enter the deepest parts of the lungs and then the bloodstream.

Resuspension is exactly what it sounds like: Dust and particulates in carpets take flight when kicked up by footsteps.

Carpet fibers and treatments like stain-resistant coatings or flame retardants can contain PFAS .

Exposure to PFAS , known as forever chemicals because they take centuries to break down, have been identified as a risk factor in a myriad of cancers.

Resuspension is part of that, but the best thing to do? Toss the rug.

The Dyson Gen5outsize cordless vacuum is Dyson ’s most powerful stick vacuum.

The Shark S1000 Steam Mop did a solid job cleaning hardwood floors.
