Winning Over Allergies: My Ideal Carpet Story
I embarked on a quest to find the most allergy-friendly carpet, transforming my home into a haven.
Wool carpets significantly outperform other materials in allergen absorption, making them ideal for those with allergies. Nylon carpets rank second, while polyester carpets are least effective. Opt for wool to leverage its natural hypoallergenic properties and superior ability to trap dust and pollen.
