According to some, wood, and therefore parquet, even possess real superpowers in this sense, as they <strong>absorb excess moisture and release it back into the environment<\/strong>, creating a self-ventilation process in spaces that hinders the formation of annoying molds. <\/p>\n<h1><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57711 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-300x212.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-1024x724.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-1536x1086.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1-700x495.png 700w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immagine1-1.png 2000w\" alt=\"WOODCO_Parquet_allergy\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\"><\/strong><\/h1>\n<h2><strong>Stop Allergies, Thanks to Parquet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Moving on to allergies such as those caused by dust mites, we remember that wood has the characteristic of being antistatic and therefore manages not to attract dust or, better yet, not to retain it. This is why <strong>a wooden surface is certainly preferable when people who suffer from specific allergic forms live and work in the house or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/consigli\/parquet-in-ufficio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">office<\/a><\/strong>. Especially children. To briefly return to what was said in the previous paragraph, not only are dusty places the ideal habitat for mites, but also, indeed, molds and fungi.   <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Parquet Maintenance for a Healthier Environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To maintain the anti-allergic benefits of wood, however, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/consigli\/come-pulire-il-parquet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning and maintenance of the parquet<\/a><\/strong> are fundamental.<br \/>\nThe regular use of <strong>antistatic cloths, lukewarm water<\/strong>, and wood cleaners like those from the Woodco Care line, with products for both <a href=\"https:\/\/outlet.woodco.it\/IT\/woodco-care-soft-cleaner-aloe-trasp-1-lt-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>oiled<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/outlet.woodco.it\/IT\/woodco-care-neutral-cleaner-1-lt-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">varnished<\/a><\/strong> parquet, helps keep the surface clean and free of allergens.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let&#8217;s debunk the myth that parquet is not <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/consigli\/riscaldamento-a-pavimento-e-parquet-una-perfetta-convivenza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compatible with underfloor heating systems<\/a><\/strong>. This combination is not only possible but recommended, as it reduces the dispersion of harmful dust in the air, offering a healthier environment for everyone. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, using parquet is not just an aesthetic choice but a conscious decision for a <strong>healthier home environment<\/strong>, especially for those who suffer from allergies. Choose the parquet you prefer from our collections and enjoy its numerous health benefits. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our previous posts about parquet, we have seen that wooden floors and coverings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also play a crucial role in the healthiness of domestic environments.
