5 Safe Carpet Recommendations for Families with Allergic Children
Sensitivity, hypersensitivity, and allergic reactions in children are closely related to unseen factors in the home environment. Floor coverings, in particular, can pose a risk due to dust mites, pollen residue, and microscopic particles. Therefore, in homes where children prone to allergies live, carpet selection is not only an aesthetic decision but also a health-focused one.
Carpets with a low allergen load, that are breathable and easy to clean, make children's play areas safer. With the right product choices, both hygiene and comfort can be achieved. Some special weaving techniques in Pera Carpet collections offer solutions to this need and contribute to a more balanced environment in living spaces.
1. Carpets with Low Pile Height
Long-pile carpets can increase the accumulation of dust and mites. Low-pile models make it more difficult for allergens to adhere to the surface and can be easily removed with regular cleaning. This structure is considered safer for children with sensitive constitutions.

2. Carpets with Hypoallergenic Yarn Technology
Specially developed hypoallergenic yarns help reduce bacterial and mite infestation. Synthetic but certified yarns can offer a more controlled surface compared to natural fibers. Some of Pera Carpet's modern weaving options aim to balance these characteristics.
3. Easy-to-Clean Surface Structure
Carpet cleanliness is crucial for a hypoallergenic living space. Surfaces that can be thoroughly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and do not retain moisture contribute to reducing allergic symptoms.
4. Models Without Chemical Dyes
Carpets that come into contact with children's skin should be free of harmful chemical residues. Carpets made with low-emission dyes are safer for children with respiratory sensitivities.
5. Breathable Fabric Structure
Carpets that allow air circulation reduce moisture buildup, lowering the risk of bacteria and mold. This creates a more balanced indoor environment for sensitive children.
