..."Carpet is a sink." That infamous quote was intended to emphasize the fact that carpet needs to be cleaned regularly. Instead, it has been used out of context in extremely negative ways. A good example are the hucksters in the cleaning and supply industries who use horrible looking dust mites in consumer advertising that have no doubt been detrimental to carpet sales.
Dr. Berry has recently published a thoughtful article on "green" cleaning that is an informative summation of the faddish movement. He dispels some "green" myths and presents facts to support his opinions. Congratulations to Dr. Berry on a public service. I hope the hucksters don't figure out a way to use it. But, be assured, they'll try!
