Carpet naturally traps dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. While this can help keep some particles out of the air temporarily, it also means those allergens build up over time.
During allergy season, everyday movement like walking or vacuuming can release those trapped particles back into the air.
This is especially common in homes where:
The carpet was already in place when the homeowner moved in
The carpet type was not selected with pets or allergies in mind
Cleaning routines are not removing allergens effectively
Even if the carpet looks clean, it may still be holding onto years of buildup beneath the surface.
