Final answer:

Carpets are not recommended for minimizing allergen exposure. Effective methods include using allergy covers, washing linens, and considering the hygiene hypothesis.


Explanation:

Choosing carpet over hardwood, vinyl or linoleum floors is NOT a procedure for minimizing children's exposure to known environmental allergens. Carpets can trap dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold, aggravating allergies.

Using allergy covers for children's bedding, washing linens regularly in hot water, and utilizing large mats at entry areas to prevent outdoor dirt from coming in are effective ways to reduce allergen exposure.

The hygiene hypothesis suggests that reduced exposure to pathogens due to smaller families and a focus on cleanliness may lead to higher rates of allergies, asthma, and immune disorders.
