Which provides better indoor air quality (carpet or hardwood)?
In the past, many home owners have switched from carpet to hardwood flooring in an attempt to improve the indoor air quality of their home. This has been proven to be a HUGE misconception in the flooring industry. Carpet actually acts as a “filter”, trapping pollutants which are then removed by professional carpet cleaning. As long as a regular cleaning schedule is maintained, carpet provides much better indoor air quality than hardwood flooring.
