Ten advantages and disadvantages of carpet
1. A person loses about 1.5 million pieces of skin per hour, most of which are embedded in our carpet. Dust mites thrive in a warm and humid environment. They eat dead skin cells and build nests on dust collecting carpets. The residues left by dust mites will mix with dust and become air, which may cause allergy.
2. Although it is not clear when the first carpets were produced, it is likely that they were made several centuries before the birth of Christ, and they were probably made by the nomads in Central Asia. For centuries, carpet weaving was brought to the whole Asia and the Middle East through invading armies, merchants and migrating nomads.
3. In particular, the carpet will be infected by a large number of mites. The carpet is a very effective place for mature fleas to live, because fleas thrive in the dry temperature of the carpet. Fleas can bite both people and animals.
4. Carcinogens in cigarettes may accumulate in household carpets, and smoking family members may be at risk of lung cancer. Norwalk virus (the virus that causes stomach flu) can survive on unwashed carpets for a month or more.
5. When properly cleaned and maintained, carpets can improve air quality by capturing dust and allergens caused by allergies. However, most people cannot clean carpets properly, which actually aggravates allergies.
6. The new carpet may be the emission source of chemical substances. It should be ventilated before carpet installation. All carpets should be professionally cleaned at least every 12 to 18 months. Carpet will be infected by a large number of mites. A diluted tannic acid solution can be sprayed on the carpet to kill dust mites, but tannic acid is dangerous to humans.
7. Naphthalene is usually found in carpet cleaners and may cause headache, nausea, vomiting and urinary irritation. It is a suspected carcinogen and toxic to children, infants and pets.
8. The five second rule is a myth that bacteria can survive four weeks on a carpet. Moreover, due to "microbial adhesion", the following bacteria are immediately transferred to food: Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter and Salmonella enteritidis.
9. Soda water is effective against fresh stains on carpets. Bed bugs can live on carpet fibers and wood floors. They are very fast and can crawl 100 feet to get blood meals, usually from sleeping people at night. Swallowing takes about three to ten minutes, but people rarely realize that they have been bitten.
10. The caterpillar of the palm flower moth likes to build a nest in the deep hole on the carpet. No matter whether the carpet fiber is natural or artificial, the caterpillar will use these fibers to make a cocoon. The national emblem pattern is traditionally a symbol of good luck and can be found on carpets in the United States, Europe, India and China.
