(NAPSA)—There’s good news for those who find keeping indoor air clean and odor-free a challenge. Fabrics are being developed that are designed to help control indoor odor and bacteria. Research experts note that indoor air pollution is one of the nation’s most pressing personal health concerns. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of some indoor air pollutants can be two to five times higher—with some as much as 100 times higher—than the levels outdoors. Sources of this pollution include cigarette smoke, pesticides, formaldehyde, pressed-wood products and household cleaning products. To control these harmful irritants, some health professionals have suggested people take down their draperies, since comparisons indicate that conventional fibers provide good conditions for settling and multiplying microorganisms on top of existing indoor air pollution—all of which are known to increase allergens and infectious diseases. Due to this growing concern, one fabric company is exclusively manufacturing eco-friendly fabrics that are said to kill household odor and prevent the spread of infectious bacteria and pollutants in order to revolutionize home decor andindoorair quality. | One fabric company is exclu- sively manufacturing eco-friendly fabrics that are said to kill household odor and prevent the spread of bacteria and pollutants. For instance, ADO currently offers two product lines within its SmartFabrics collection—ADO ActiBreeze and ADO BioProtect?— that contain odor-fighting and bacteria-reducing technologies designed to clean indoor air spaces through natural physical processes. To keep the draperies clean from visible dirt, dust and pet dander, homeowners can also find drapery fabrics that can be washed repeatedly while maintaining odor- and bacteria-reducing efficacy. ADO also offers a complete line of washable fabrics that won’t fade or lose their dimensional stability for up to five years.
