Q: What is the healthiest flooring option?

• <div><p>Natural options like stone tile, hardwood, cork, bamboo, and natural linoleum are among the healthier flooring choices available. On the flip side, carpet and carpet padding are among the biggest culprits when it comes to releasing potentially hazardous chemicals into your home. Artificial, manufactured options like vinyl and engineered wood may also contain and emit VOCs. </p></div>

Q: Can I put my old carpet out on my regular garbage day?

• <div><p>Most cities accept old carpet as bulk trash, typically without any nails or glue on the base of the carpet. You may be required to request a specific pickup and wrap the carpet into specific bags. You can also visit your local recycling center and pay a small fee to have the carpet materials recovered. </p></div>

Q: Can I install flooring myself?

• <div><p>While you certainly can install new flooring yourself, it may not always be the best idea. Since the condition of the floors is a significant component of your property&rsquo;s value, it&rsquo;s important that your project looks professionally done. If not, you run the risk of needing to have them replaced again before selling your home. If you&rsquo;re looking to save money on the cost of floor installation, consider removing the old flooring yourself to save on labor costs.</p></div>

Q: How long does a linoleum floor last?

• <div><p>Linoleum flooring lasts about 20 to 40 years. While it is durable, it does wear out from foot traffic and even the weight of furniture over time. It can also become faded or discolored from sunlight streaming in through the windows.</p></div>
