Among the Hypoallergenic Hotels

Monday April 24, 2006

A profile of Pure Solutions, a New York-based company who has worked with Four Points to create "pure rooms" caught our eye. "Pure rooms" are free of pollen, dust and are designed for customers with severe allergies:

Designated as "Pure Rooms," they have undergone a special six-step process of cleaning, sanitizing and nearly eliminating irritants such as mold, fungi, bacteria, dust and pollen that can cause problems for allergy sufferers and the additional 10 million people with asthma. Special air filters, purifiers and charcoal-filtered showerheads have been added to each room.
"We saw an opportunity to fill a need that was not being filled in that market but it is a need that was on their radar screen," said Tom Pickles, director of operations for Pure Allergy Friendly Rooms.
