Hardwood Floors: A Healthy Choice

Why Hardwood Floors?

You watch what you eat for safety—do the same for your floors. Carpet holds dust mites, pet dander, mold, and pollen deep in fibers. Hardwood has no place for them to hide. A quick sweep or damp mop removes everything fast. Allergies cost the U.S. up to $17.5 billion yearly in health care and over 6 million lost work and school days. Cutting indoor triggers helps everyone breathe easier.

One Bellevue mom shared: “Since we replaced carpet with hardwood, my son’s constant sneezing and watery eyes disappeared. Best decision we ever made!”

Wood floors are the most environmentally friendly flooring option available. Unlike other flooring materials, the raw materials used to make them – trees – can regrow after they are cut down, which replaces the material that is harvested.

Wood floors reduce the amount of waste in our landfills because they can last for many generations and require fewer raw materials to produce than other flooring options.

How Allergens Build Up—and How Wood Stops Them

Allergens are everywhere:

• Outdoors: Pollen, mold spores.

• Indoors: Dust mites, pet dander.

They track inside on shoes and settle in. Carpet traps them. Vacuuming stirs them up. Hardwood lets you wipe them away. The EPA confirms: Wood floors reduce microorganisms, pesticides, and dander. No fibers mean fewer hiding spots.

Simple Ways to Keep Floors Healthy

• Daily Sweep – Catch dust before it spreads.

• Weekly Mop – Use mild cleaner and water.

• Area Rugs – Washable ones add softness without trapping allergens.

• Shoe-Free Home – Stop outdoor pollen at the door.

Our dustless sanding system captures 99% of dust at the source, and we seal with safe, non-toxic finishes. Perfect for homes with kids, pets, or anyone with breathing issues.
