Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Let’s start by talking about indoor air quality for a moment, and the importance of having clean, healthy air in your home.

Almost everyone today suffers from some kind of allergy, breathing problem, or even skin condition. The environments we live in have become so overly polluted that we’ve unfortunately become accustomed to it.

Claritin and Benadryl have become part of the everyday routine for a lot of people without even realizing it. The air outside that we breathe in every day is filled with much more than just plant and pollen allergens floating around. You could be breathing in a number of different things every day, just going to the grocery store. Pollutants like:

• Lead
• Nitrogen oxide
• Particulate matter
• And even gases

This is precisely why it is imperative to keep the air quality within our homes as clean as possible. We spend half of our lives in our home, and it’s the one place we have a say in our air quality.

So when you are shopping for carpet, and you’re stuck between the flat mint green carpet and the shaggy olive one, compare the labels to consider how each option may affect your home environment.

There are so many factors to think about when you are looking to purchase carpeting, like do you have small children with allergies? Will the carpet you are considering help to reduce the unwanted allergens in your home? Or will it bring in its own problems and pollute your home even further?

The Truth About Carpet

Carpets are great ways to add style, comfort, and warmth to your home. They soften slips and falls, they help to reduce noise traveling through your home, and they even make a great hangout sp

ot for the kids and their friends to lounge around and watch tv.

But did you know that some carpet options are heavily treated with chemicals that can be emitted into your home daily?

Even the adhesives used in some carpeting is bad for the air quality in your home. These harsh chemicals can be toxic to breathe in over long periods of time and extremely hard on your allergies.

How carpeting is treated by manufacturers is something you should really consider before introducing it into your home’s air space.
