Pet Friendly

What exactly are pet-friendly rugs? These rugs can look like any other rug—they can be large rugs, small rugs, cream rugs, or even colorful rugs—as long as they can survive the little accidents, odors, dirt, chewing, and scratches your pet might cause. Simply put, they should be durable enough to withstand constant cleaning and vacuuming. Although nothing is completely pet-proof, pet-friendly rugs can stay in good shape for much longer than regular ones. 

How to choose the best pet-friendly rug?

If you’ve settled on getting pet carpet runners for your fur babies and home, congratulations! You’re on the right track. Now comes the challenging part—deciding which one will suit your lifestyle, preference, and needs best! Keep the following factors in mind when picking the best rug for your fur family: 

Choose the right material. 

Wool and cotton rugs are ideal because they are soft in texture and durable. Synthetic materials, like polypropylene and PET, are a great option too because they have a soft pile that is easy to clean. Flat weave rugs don’t have piles, so dirt won’t get trapped. Meanwhile, jute rugs are not the most optimal as they are absorbent. Miss Amara’s dog-friendly rugs come in different materials and styles for you to choose from. 

Consider the color and pattern of your rug. 

Pee stains and dirt are likely to show up more on light-colored rugs. Consider rugs with busier patterns that can help conceal the stains. If your pet is a shedder, get a rug that has the same color as your pet’s fur. Miss Amara’s rug collection has a gamut of color and pattern options available. 

Think of the washability of the rug. 

Expect that you will have to clean your rugs more often if you have pets at home, so it would be best to get easy-clean rugs. Miss Amara’s pet-friendly rugs, for example, can be cleaned by soaking in warm water and liquid detergent or by simply tossing them into your washing machine. 

How to prevent pet-friendly rugs from slipping?

Dogs, being the playful and curious little creatures that they are, can’t help but run around the house or play roughly with their fur siblings once in a while. Most dogs also get occasional “zoomies” where they run back and forth super fast for no apparent reason. These can displace your rug and even cause your dogs to slip and hurt themselves. Adding underlays or anti-slip pads under your rugs can help secure them in place to keep your room tidy and, more importantly, your pets safe. 

Miss Amara has high-quality rug underlays that are designed to prevent lumps and buckling so your pet-friendly rugs can stay perfectly secure in place while protecting both your rug and flooring from damage. They are also eco-friendly to match your eco rugs. When choosing underlays for your rug, go for a size that is smaller than your rug. 

How to clean a pet-friendly rug?

Dog-friendly rugs are designed to be easier to clean, but without the right techniques, you might not reap their maximum benefits. When it comes to keeping your indoor pet mats and outdoor mats for dogs clean, make sure to deal with the accident as soon as possible. Dab the area with a cloth to remove as much liquid as possible. To get rid of fur, vacuum your rug regularly and use a lint roller to pick up the fibers your vacuum missed.
