What is this product?
Carpet and pad removal releases decades of accumulated household dust — a concentrated mixture of PBDE flame retardants (from furniture foam), phthalates, pesticides, pet allergens, dust mites, mold spores, and heavy metals. Old carpet pad (rebond/bonded urethane) is the primary PBDE reservoir: made from recycled furniture foam containing legacy flame retardants. EPA study: carpet dust contains 10-100x the PBDE concentration of mattress dust. Wet the carpet before rolling, wear N95, ventilate during and after removal.
