If you are getting new flooring for your home and you have pets, here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing the right floors for your home and family.
The first tip would be to consider using ceramic or porcelain tile. Ceramic or porcelain tile is a tough material that is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Also, those types of tiles are nonporous, which means they will not absorb smells as easily as other materials. Just keep in mind that grout is more absorbent, so you may want to keep grout width to a minimum.
Another tip is that if you want rugs in your home, you may want to consider an indoor-outdoor rug that is designed with stain-proof, odor-proof synthetic materials, instead of natural material rugs, which are harder to clean.
The last tip is that if you really want hardwood floors, consider getting a factory-finished floor that will prevent wear and tear. Just keep in mind that these types of floors are more porous, and you will need to clean messes and spills more quickly than other materials.
These are just a few tips to keep in mind when choosing new flooring that will best fit your pets and your family’s needs.
