Desso Says New Carpet Cleans Indoor Air

Waalwijk, The Netherlands, June 18, 2010--Carpet maker Desso said it has launched a new carpet that cleans indoor air better than standard carpet.

The new carpet, AirMaster, is primarily aimed at offices, hospitals, schools and other public buildings.

The company said that independent tests by GUI, the German test institute, show that the new carpet is four times more effective than standard carpeting at trapping particulates.

Desso said the carpet is based on patented technology and releases 80% of trapped dust during vacuum cleaning, a 16% improvement compared to standard carpet. 

Desso said it is the world’s only manufacturer to offer a product certified with a Gold logo from GUI.
