If you are a pet owner and are thinking of replacing your flooring, here are some tips to help you decide which flooring will best suit you and your pet’s needs.
The first tip is that if you plan on having rugs in your home, think about getting a synthetic indoor/outdoor rug that is stainproof and odor-proof. These rugs are much easier to clean than a natural material rug.
Another tip is that you may want to consider porcelain or ceramic tiles, which are easy to clean and scratch-resistant. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are also nonporous, which means they do not absorb smells like other materials. Just make sure that you keep your grout width to a minimum because grout is more absorbant.
The last tip is if you really want hardwood floors, you may want to purchase factory-finished flooring. This type of flooring will help with normal wear and tear. Just a note though, this type of flooring is more porous, which means you will need to clean up spills and messes quickly.
So whatever flooring you decide to go with, just keep in mind these few tips when purchasing your pet-friendly flooring.
