Getting rid of dust in your home is critical to keeping allergies under control. This is especially true if you suffer from asthma or other airborne allergies.
Regardless of whether you choose synthetic or natural fiber carpet, your flooring still collects dirt and other debris. This can make your house a home for dust mites, mold, mildew, and other allergens that cause respiratory problems.
If you suffer from asthma, it's even more important to avoid carpet. Hardwood floors are better at keeping dust and other pollutants out of the air, and they're much easier to keep clean.
The good news is that there are many flooring choices available to allergy sufferers and those with asthma. The first step is to identify which areas in your home are prone to accumulating dust and other particles.
You can also get a professional to come in and vacuum or steam-clean your carpets regularly to help reduce the amount of dust in the air. The same goes for your bedding, furniture and other surfaces in your home.
In 2007, the U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recommended replacing carpet with hard surface flooring for those with allergies. However, it is now clear that this advice was not based on solid research. In fact, a study published in Belgium shows that classrooms with carpeted floors had higher amounts of particulate matter in the indoor air than those without. This is due to the increased resuspension of dust when people walk on the floor.
