A simple way to improve the appearance and feel of any room is to add new carpet. It can be difficult to find a high-quality carpet that is easy for pets to clean.
“If you’re a pet owner, it’s important to find carpeting that can withstand the toll pets can dish out on flooring,”David Duncan, a Mohawk Flooring carpet expert, says SmartStrand is a soil-and-water-resistant carpet. stain-resistant carpetingThis has been able to successfully take on zoo animals and messy children, as well as a cross-country tour with squirts & spills.
Here are some tips.
Function: What purpose is the room serving? Mohawk Flooring offers carpeting that is stain- and dirt-resistant for high-traffic areas like the family room, den, hallway or family room. The dining room carpet should also be stain-resistant and easily cleanable. Carpets treated chemically with stain protectors can eventually lose their stain resistance and soil resistance. Carpets made with plant-based materials should be considered for the environment.
Design and color. Do you want to make a room appear larger? Consider a light-colored rug. Want cozy? Opt for dark. Want relaxing? A feeling of calm can be created by using blues and other greens. Different carpet textures can add visual interest to any room. No matter what color you choose, if you have pets or a room that gets a lot of foot traffic, it is important to select a carpet with fibers that can spring back into place. Carpets with kinked spring-shaped fibers are resistant to matting and bounce back when walked on.
Style and softness. Comfort is important when selecting a carpet for your home. This is especially true if you have pets or children who spend a lot time on the flooring. Built-in stain prevention carpets are known to keep their softness for longer periods of time. This is partly because they don’t contain any chemical stain-protection products that may leave a residue.
Maintenance. Avoid high-maintenance carpets in areas with pets or children. There is no one who wants to spend too much time cleaning up all the mess. Some high-maintenance cleaning products can also be harmful to your home. Carpet made from triexta fibers is dirt-resistant, and can be easily cleaned with water and mild detergent. Some carpet manufacturers also offer warranties for pet-related stains.
