Vacuums & Soil Removal

March 10 2004 at 11:23 AM		 DON_ELDRED  
Just a little more on the need to make sure we as professional carpet cleaners do the right thing in our dry soil removal process

Soil Particle Sizes

Atmospheric Dust 0.001-10 micrometers
Bacteria 0.4-10
Beach Sand 40-1000
Carbon Black 0.02-2
Drizzle 80-800
Fungi 0.6-4
Human Hair 70
Legionella 0.3
Smoke 0.04-1
Virus 0.004-0.08

Get the point, if your vacuum only filters soil down to 6 micrometers in size you are missing alot of the soils that can create problems for those people who have some form of respritory problems.
