Allergy-friendly flooring could make an immediate difference in your quality of life

Hardwood floors are known for being easier on people with allergies than carpeting.

For the millions of Americans who suffer from allergies and asthma, common household features and items can be breeding grounds for irritating pollutants that cause symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing. For example, if you have carpeting in your home, dust mites, pet dander, pollen and mold can build up if you aren't diligent about cleaning. 

With this in mind, Just Around the Corner, Inc., (JATC) a company based in St. Louis, Missouri, recently published a press release announcing that it offers allergy-friendly flooring products.

"JATC is proud to feature healthy, eco-friendly flooring products that will curb the risks of harmful allergens while maintaining a desirable home décor," states the press release. "The flooring retailer offers allergy-friendly flooring as an alternative to carpet and other allergen-laden flooring options. Hard-surfaced floors such as cork, tile, and stone will help prevent allergy symptoms, but JATC recommends hardwood above all other flooring surfaces."

In addition to ditching the carpeting in favor of hardwood floors, there are other steps that allergy and asthma sufferers can take around the house to keep their symptoms at a minimum and improve their overall quality of life.
