Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / March 2006Carpet? What type? For allergies.
Well It time to replace the carpet. I do it every 2 years. So if you had to pick a carpet What material is best to get? 100% Nylon is on sale. But is there any that are better than others to keep down allergies. I understand that carpet is a dust magnet. But we are not allowed hard floors with area rugs. So if you had to get carpet which would you buy? I keep the humidity below 35% because I have dustmite allergy. But just checking what people think is best to keep clean ect. Thank you. > Well It time to replace the carpet. I do it every 2 years. So if you had > to pick a carpet What material is best to get? 100% Nylon is on sale.

Well, if you're forced to get carpets, then choose ones with the shortest, tightest pile like velvet carpets or olefin. Avoid shag carpets and deep-pile carpets because those are most likely to trap gunk deep inside. Stainmaster or the equivalent may help resist trapping dirt.  SignatureSteven D.

I have all area cotton rugs in our house except for the bathroom mats which I can pick up and wash in the washing machine. shirleyann Thank you. I heard or olefin, But not velvet. There is carpet that is velvet? Just seems like i would slide on it. That might be good if i need to use the bathroom quick , and just slide into the bathroom :) you said tight weave? I would think that would trap more. Or is it that it wont get into it? Still learning here. So be patient with me. |
