A Healthy Alternative to Blinds
There is a variety of options for window treatments. You can pick from plastic or metal blinds, vertical blinds, shades made from paper, light or heavy fabric, or wood. However, if you suffer from allergies, some of these may not be a good option for you. Plastic blinds may release some harmful chemicals when being exposed to the heat of the sun. Paper or fabric shades collect dust and may not be very easy to clean. Wood or woven shades are probably the best alternative for you if you are looking to create a healthy environment in your home. They are easy to clean and made of natural, often even recycled, fibers.
