Capel Rugs And Lead-Based Paint
Having easy-to-clean Capel Rugs in your home instead of wall-to-wall carpet is just one way to reduce dust, allergens, and other dangerous particles such as lead based paint in the air. Every parent wants to ensure the family home is the safest possible environment for children.
- Old carpet in a home tested positive for lead-based paint has got to go!
- Capel Rugs may be part of the safety solution.
- Capel Rugs can make your home a safer place for kids to breathe, play, and grow.
Many, many older homes often have lead dust in the air from old paint, peeling window frames, or doorframes that respond to friction by releasing dust particles containing lead. If there is lead in the air, it’s getting deep into carpet fibers. Wall-to-wall is tough to clean and to keep that way.
Capel Rugs, unlike wall-to-wall, can be shaken outside, are easy to be vacuumed regularly, and some are dry cleanable or even machine washable. Remember, lead is very dangerous to inhale or ingest, especially for young children with develpoing bodies and brains.
Have you home tested, and if your carpet has lead dust in it, one suggestion by environmental health officials would be to remove the carpet, thoroughly clean and or refinish the floors, and use area rugs such as Capel Rugs.
