Concrete that is allergen-free

Allergies aren't something you should be suffering alone. You can make things better. Many people think of allergies as something that affects the outside world. This includes pollen, insects and dust particles blowing in the wind. Indoor allergens, like dust, smoke, and chemicals, can also be found within the home. Advertisements promoting dangers under sinks, HVAC units, and mattresses are not uncommon. Allergy and asthma sufferers can experience unpleasant symptoms when "home sweet home" is used.

• Itchy, watery eyes
• Sneezing and runny nose
• Trouble breathing, wheezing
• Pain in the chest
• Dizziness
• Fever

Polished concrete, stained concrete, stamped and resurfaced decorative concrete floors can help reduce allergens.

To reduce dust, use surfaces that are easy to clean

According to emedicinehealth.com, indoor allergies are primarily caused by dust in the house. A "house dust" is an "airborne mixture". This includes all things in your home including food, clothing, furniture and any residuals from pets or humans. Fabric fibers and insect fragments join all the common allergens like dust mites and mold spores. You can also track dirt, pollen, food particles and pollen in your home from the outside. Your home will be less allergen-prone if it has a flooring that is less dusty.

Concrete floors stained with concrete resist dust and spillages, so dust won't be able to hide.

• You can replace carpet padding with carpeting made from allergen-free decorative concrete and polished concrete floors.
• Concrete decorative finishes resist dirt and dust buildup. You can keep them looking fresh by using a dust mop and occasional wet mopping.
• A dust mop can be a useful tool for cleaning your floors of dirt and debris that can build up under or behind furniture.

Eliminate hidden moisture factors

As mold and mold spores depend on moisture for survival and growth, allergic reactions and asthma attacks can occur. Hidden moisture is something you should be aware of. Vinyl and laminate flooring, such as grouted tiles and vinyl flooring, can allow moisture to seep into the floor and cause it not to dry. Carpeting can also hold moisture from spills and cleaning products. Dark, damp places are where bacteria and mold thrive. Concrete floors with decorative finishes can withstand spills and stains and are water-resistant. This stops mold growth below the floor.

High humidity rooms won't be kept moister with lingering moisture along baseboards and corners.

• Decorative concrete is a good choice to prevent mold growth in rooms where moisture is a problem, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms.
• These decorative concrete floors are made from tile, faux stone, and wood planks. They look exactly like real materials but don't have any grout or vulnerable connecting seams.
• Basements can have a decorative concrete floor that controls moisture. It has a moisture barrier, decorative concrete overlays with faux stone and wood plank designs, and a moisture barriers.

There are no chemical emissions

Exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can affect indoor air quality. These VOCs can be found in new flooring or paint. You can also improve indoor air quality by going green and using natural cleaning products. Floor cleaners, varnishes, and waxes can contain toxic chemicals that can cause asthma flareups or allergic reactions. Concrete Craft's unique mix of concrete overlays is environmentally friendly and has been "green rated by LEED standards." Concrete sealers and stains have very low or no VOCs.

Concrete flooring with a stenciled wood design will have the same beauty and elegance as wood without using any chemical cleaners or varnishes

• Concrete floors are not affected by special chemicals like carpet, hardwood, grouted tile, or stones.
• To keep your floors shining, you only need a safe, nontoxic, neutral-pH cleaner like Dawn dish soap.
• Non-porous seals are resistant to stains and spills, including pet accidents.

Here are some other tips to improve the air quality in your home

Cleaning should reduce allergens such as mold, pet dander and other allergens. Cleaning can be reduced by making sure your home is clean and allergy-free.

• Regular vacuuming and dusting are necessary to remove dust from picture frames, picture frames and tabletops.
• It is possible to replace window coverings made from fabric with easy-to-clean wooden blinds or shutters. If you must use curtains, choose washable fabrics.
• Vacuum upholstery and cushions. You can also "dust" pillows and blankets with a non-heat dryer tumble using an organic, fragrance-free wool dryer balls.
• Cover your bedroom with washable, allergy-proof covers.
• Take care of your pet pets by grooming them outdoors or in the garage.
• Air filters should be replaced according to manufacturer instructions for cooling and heating systems. Filters with a high range rating (MERV) (12-13).
• If you have an HVAC system that has been in service for some time, it is worth hiring a professional to clean it. This will allow for cleaner and more efficient airflow.
• HEPA filters are added protection in an air purifier system.
• Let fresh air through windows. Ventilate rooms with no windows using exhaust fans that circulate outdoors.
• Mold growth can be prevented by controlling moisture in the home. Dry areas that collect water, such as around bathtubs and sinks.
• Check for leaks under sinks and cabinets.
