subject: Do You Know What Is Lurking In Your Carpet Fibers? The Truth May Shock You [print this page] Each and every day, your carpet sees the effects of your life that you may not see. Dirt, dust, tiny insects, and everything in between is regularly tracked throughout your floors, grinding into the carpets and finding a home. When you have small children that are routinely crawling around and spending time on your flooring, you run the risk of your children suffering the ill effects of these allergens hiding under the fibers of your carpet. When the safety of your children and your own health is at risk, how can you make sure that your flooring is safe and sanitary?
Often, carpeting is the prime example of flooring choices that can end up making your family sick. Despite the best intentions with routinely vacuuming and carpet cleaning, sometimes it merely is not enough to remove the potentially harmful allergens from the carpet. When you do not want to run the risk of possible sickness in your family, switching to a more healthy flooring alternative is highly suggested. For flooring that is easy to maintain and does not trap harmful allergens, consider traditional wood flooring, pergo flooring, vinyl flooring, tile flooring, and even laminate flooring.
Vinyl, tile, and laminate flooring are all options that are easy to clean, easy to be mopped with allergen reducing floor wash, and swept easily several times a day. If you are switching from traditional carpeting to a wood-type flooring choice, it is important to take necessary precautions prior to ripping up the carpet. Once the carpets are removed from the floor, all the allergens that were trapped inside its fibers are now floating around in the room, which makes breathing tricky. When you are ready to pull up old carpeting for your new flooring choices, take care in making sure you wear protective masks and eye gear to avoid direct contact with the allergens.
When you are switching to flooring choices such as laminate, vinyl, or hardwood flooring, you will want to find flooring that has already been pre-treated prior to coming into the home. Traditionally, the varnishes and stains that are used to treat the wood contains harsh chemicals and fumes that can have worse affects than the allergens you are seeking to banish. Pre-treated flooring is manufactured directly in the warehouse and shipped to your home, which eliminates the need to breathe in any harsh chemicals.
