A doctor in western Washington in the USA has warned against vacuuming while there has been lots of smoke in the air, because it can stir up unhealthy particulates in your carpet and recirculate them inside your home.
An interview on TV station KING-5 in relation to air quality following some recent wildfires warned that residents in the affected Puget Sound area should avoid vacuuming for up to a week as they wait for the smoke to clear.
