Increases in Asthma and respiratory problems particularly in children, have been attributed to modern living, and to the carpet dust mite which thrives in the carpets and fabrics of our homes.
For you and your family
• A new carpet doubles it weight in less than six months, with the build up of dirt and grime and skin cells .
• 2,500,000 children under twelve use inhalers for asthmatic reasons largely due to carpet mites.
• In the average mattress there are 2 million dust mites.
• Vacuuming a square metre of carpet for 20 minutes will only reduce the dust mite population by only 2%.
Your Timberland hardwood floor is exceptionally hygienic and hypoallergenic. It also eliminates dirt traps and requires minimal maintenance.
