A member asked:
Which type of carpet would you recommend for someone with allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vacuumed a lot: While having no carpet is best, short carpet that can be vacuumed easily is probably the best. Vacuuming at least once a week is usually recommended. Make sure carpet is not put directly on cement floor where mold could become a problem.
