Carpets have been under criticism by some people for some time and that is because they believe in the myths that were spread in the past few decades. Modern carpets like the finest woven carpets Worksop or the softest wool twist carpets Worksop and more have proven those myths wrong. And to help you understand what those myths are, we have discussed them below and have also debunked them with proper logic. So let’s get started:

Hardwood Flooring is Cheaper:

Some people believe installing a carpet is going to be more expensive than hardwood flooring mainly because maintaining carpet flooring is harder but that is not true. You just need to vacuum the carpet surface two times a week and occasional extraction cleaning is required and that’s all. But if we talk about hardwood flooring, then you need to perform regular sweeping, waxing, striping, mopping and buffing. These activities can be quite costly and require more effort.

Thick Underlay is Not Necessary:

Some believe that thicker underlayment doesn’t make much of a difference but they cannot be more wrong than that. It is imperative that you get the right underlay because it will be used with your carpet for the long term. If you get a thin underlayment, it won’t protect your carpet for long and can cause it to stretch and ruck resulting in breakdown of your carpet.

Carpet Can Trigger Allergies and Asthma:

In the past, people thought that carpets could trigger allergies and asthma but that has been proven wrong by medical research. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, carpets benefit people with allergies and asthma because they trap the dust particles and not let them blow around in people’s noses causing problems.

Carpets Can Collect Mould and Mildew:

This is so wrong! Mould and mildew only grow in excessive dirt and moisture coupled with poor cleaning and maintenance. If you eliminate moisture and keep the carpets dry, the mould and mildew will stay at bay. You can control the humidity levels and ensuring there is no water leakage from floor and your carpets should be fine.

Carpets Don’t Reduce Noise:

Another wrong conception because carpets are great at reducing noise and thick padding can further help with that. Carpets reduce the impact of sound produced from footsteps or something falling on them. Try out running on the carpet and then on hardwood floor, you will see the difference yourself.
