How dirty is your carpet?

Want to find out how dirty your carpet really is?

Use an infrared camera with an opaque infrared filter, like a RM72. The picture shown below was taken with my Sony DSC-P92 digital camera that has been modified for infrared photography. A RM72 filter was mounted in front of the lens to eliminate all visible light. I shot the following picture for another project and later I noticed all the blotches on the carpet.

Those blotches are not visible by my eyes. I never knew my carpet had those blotches . . . time to get the carpet cleaned.
