Question

Accepted Answer

There is no one carpet that eliminates dust‑mite allergy risk. Trade‑offs include fibre type, pile construction and maintenance: low or short piles and tighter loop constructions tend to trap less loose dust than deep, plush piles and are generally easier to vacuum; wool and synthetic fibres each have different care needs. Regular cleaning, good ventilation and appropriate vacuuming routines are important for reducing airborne dust and allergens. For medical advice about allergies consult a healthcare professional. Current product suitability, widths and availability should be confirmed with the Taren Point showroom (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point) or by calling 02 9526 6421.
