Carpet, especially wall to wall, may aggravate allergies. They hold in pet dander, mold spores, dust mites, and your cleaning products, even the insecticides you use. New carpeting and carpet padding carries allergens in the stain repellents and dyes used to make them.
Wood flooring is a hard wearing floor surface. Reclaimed wood or salvaged wood flooring is also available for homeowners who want sustainable floors. New finishes are compliant with safety regulations, and once the floor’s finish is dry, can be a safer alternative to carpet that traps whatever lands on it. With hardwood, you can see your floor is clean.
