Carpet options for people with allergies
One of the biggest myths is that carpet flooring and allergies don?t mix. On the contrary, it's one of the best flooring choices for those with respiratory problems, such as asthma and allergies.
Studies have proven that cleaned carpets trap allergens and other particles instead of letting them circulate in the air. This removes them from the breathing zone, acting as an air filter.
Also, all rugs today have some inherent hypoallergenic traits. These are all at different levels, so finding something aligned with your needs will be easy.
Wool?completely natural
Come into our showroom to look at wool fibers when you are shopping for carpet in Santa Ana. These fibers are non-toxic, chemical-free, and won't irritate because they're too big to inhale.
Other reasons to have a wool carpet in your house: are durability, softness, and fire retardancy. Also, don't worry about the all-white color; it has natural oils with scales that flick off the dirt.
Just be sure padding and any adhesives are also natural.
Hypoallergenic synthetics
Nylon, polyester, and olefin carpet flooring are known for repelling mold and mildew.
Olefin (sometimes called by its trade name, polypropylene) is mainly associated with the Berber style. The short, tight loops repel spills.
Nylon is known for super strength, easy cleanability, and ultra durability. It?s a superior choice for those with respiratory problems.
Polyester has outstanding stain resistance, making it a good choice for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Low-pile carpet floors
These are stylish and are known as the easiest to clean and most durable. Also, since the yarns are short, they won't shed fibers for you to breathe in!
