Improve Your Air Quality
Do you have allergies? Believe it or not, you can keep your carpet. Studies have shown that carpet is better at trapping allegrens than hard flooring such as tile or wood. What? Particles and allergens fall to the floor (out of breathing zone) and onto the carpet. The fibers of carpet trap allergens and particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air. Proper cleaning, such as vacuuming sucks up the dust that is in the carpet, locks it in the machine and keeps it out of the air. Allergic to carpet itself ? Not likely . Much of today’s carpet is made from plastic fibers, which most people aren’t allergic to. Of course, if you have wool carpet and are allergic to wool, you have a problem. Then remove the wool carpet and don’t buy a new one.
