If you are one of the many people in Northern Ireland who is a pet owner, you may be thinking that a carpet isn’t the best flooring option for your home, we are the number one supplier of carpets to Belfast pet owners.
Although it is true that pets can make a mess, it shouldn’t mean that you have to opt for hard flooring instead of the carpet you really desire. At Classic Carpets and Beds, we have the answers on how you can go pet friendly – choosing a carpet to suit pets.
If you are worried about pet stain removal or want to get rid of lingering odours, we can show you how to maintain your animal-proof carpet without the added stress.
Choosing A Carpet To Suit Pets
Choose A Dark Coloured Carpet
It is no surprise to hear that light coloured carpets will show bits of pet hair, stains, dust or mucky paw prints. This can leave pet owners stressed when trying to find ways of keeping their carpet looking clean and fresh. This is why we recommend opting for darker coloured carpet, as they can be more forgiving.
A carpet that is a darker solid colour or is patterned, will ensure that you are not constantly hoovering or reaching for the carpet cleaner. Another clever tip that will help you hide dirt, is to go for a colour that closely matches the colour of your pet’s fur.
Consider Going For A Cut Pile Carpet
Carpets that are in a loop pile style are made up with loops of yarn that help to create a curved finish. Loop pile carpets are well known for being the most hard weaning out of all the different carpet styles.
When it comes to pets, we do not recommend choosing a loop pile carpet in a home where there are cats or dogs as their claws can stick in the loops and will result in the carpet being torn. This is not ideal for pet owners, who have spent their hard earned money on carpet for it to be destroyed in no time with unravelled material. At our carpet shops Belfast, we have a range of cut-pile styles that are perfect for animal lovers.
Consider A Polypropylene Carpet
Polypropylene is a carpet fibre that is easy to clean and helps to fight the resistance against muddy paw prints, stains from poo and urine or any other surprises that they bring in from outside.
Carpets that are designed with 100% polypropylene come with a built in resistance to dust, pet hair, dirt and spills from liquids. Instead of soaking into the carpet material, the stain will sit on top. This is the ideal solution for pet owners who are concerned about the maintenance of their carpet.
Stay On Top Of Carpet Maintenance
It is essential that pet owners stay on top of their carpet maintenance. You should regularly hoover your carpet to remove pet hairs and dirt. If you are also faced with any accidents from your pets or spills we recommend that you clean them straight away to prevent staining and lingering odours.
