You need to consider the durability of the carpet and whether the carpet is stain resistant. Pets have
accidents and also make wear and tear on our carpets. This makes our carpets look terrible and your carpet won’t last as long. It is getting easier to find a carpet that meets our needs of health and environment.
Why is carpet a better choice for pets? Pets spend most of their time lying around. Carpeting is more comfortable for pets to lie on then hard wood floors. Most pets don’t have traction on their feet so carpet is a good choice because they can’t slip on it. Having a carpet is a better choice because it is safer for the pet. It helps them from sliding into things and getting injured. Carpet
also is a sound absorber so it can make your home quieter.
Carpet can be a concern for allergy/asthma sufferers but as long as you vacuum and have
your carpet steam cleaned regularly you will be okay. Please consider these factors when choosing the correct carpet for your home. The durability of the carpet is important. Pets have claws and they can snag the carpet. Some carpets called “frieze” have a tightly twisted fiber that makes it harder for animals to snag. Choose a carpet that has a high durability rating. Look for a carpet that has a lifetime warranty. The carpet padding is also important. Padding that is treated with a barrier called a spill
trap. This stops urine odor from lingering. Also choose a padding that prevents mold. The fibers carpet is usually made from are wool, natural, or synthetic. The softest is wool. Wool is flame retardant. Nylon carpets are more popular. They are most affordable and stain resistant. That makes it the best choice for pet owners. Some carpets contain VOC’s. These are chemicals that may be in the fibers. VOC’s cause irritation to your eyes and throat. They may have neurological effects. There is lower amounts of VOC’s in new carpets. There are some carpets that are made just for pets.
They prevent stains from going all the way to the padding. When the carpet padding gets wet that is where bacteria grows. Carpet tiles are also something to consider. They make it easier to replace damaged carpet. Certain colors of carpet also hide pet hair too which is something else to
consider.
So you found your perfect carpet and had it installed make sure to maintain your carpet well. When you keep your carpet clean it keeps mold from growing. Choose a vacuum that can reduce dust. You should at least vacuum your carpet once a week to keep the dust and dander away. You should also
have your carpet professionally cleaned once a year. The dust that sticks in your carpet contains dust mites and other stuff so it is in your best interest to keep it clean for the health of your family.
