We all love our pets and we love our rugs. But sometimes they don\u2019t make the best of friends. Our furry companions shed, chew, spew, and tinkle on our rugs without regard for fine craftsmanship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n That is why pet owners need to choose their rugs wisely. Luckily for you, Rugs.com has an incredible selection of pet-friendly rugs in our inventory.

Rugs that aren\u2019t so pet friendly are ones that can be ruined or damaged easily. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is important that you be honest about your pet as you are choosing a pet-friendly rug. Does your pet chew things behind your back? Might they soil a rug? Do they track dirt and debris into your home? Are they excessive shedders?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you need to pick a rug from Rugs.com that has <\/span>\u201cwashable\u201d<\/span><\/a> in the name or is mentioned in the description. These rugs are durable, stain-resistant, water-resistant, and easily cleaned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you understand what types of rugs pet owners should avoid, let’s get to the fun stuff. What makes a rug pet-friendly? There are a few characteristics that make a rug pet-friendly. The most important thing for pet owners to remember when choosing a rug is durability and washability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Below we will discuss some of the characteristics of pet-friendly rugs that you should look for.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most washable rugs are made from synthetic material or natural material that can be washed in a machine. The best pet-friendly rugs are also made from material that is durable and stain-resistant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take this <\/span>Peach and Blue 4×6 Sisu Rug<\/span><\/a> as an example. It is machine-made using a synthetic material to mimic the pattern and style of an antique rug. But it is washable and durable enough to handle your pet. Your guests will never know that this washable rug was purchased because you are a pet owner; they will only notice its beautiful pattern and style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A washable rug that features dark colors is the best choice for pet owners. The darker colors will help to hide any soiling or stains that your pet might leave behind. This <\/span>Black 6×9 Washable Mangata Rug<\/span><\/a> is the perfect choice for someone with pets because it is dark colored and features an intricate pattern that will also help hide stains or soiling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rugs.com Professional Tip: <\/b>Match the color of your rug to the color of your pet\u2019s fur. That way any shedding will blend into the rug.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the same reason that you want to choose a dark-colored rug, pet owners will want to choose a rug that has detailed patterns. If staining is a real problem with your pet, then you might want to look at the outdoor rug options on Rugs.com because they are the most stain-resistant. Rugs like this <\/span>Teal 5×8 Outdoor Lattice Rug<\/span><\/a> have a detailed pattern and style that is perfect for pets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many of our customers want to know the best way to clean their rugs.

Address the problems immediately to avoid permanent damage to your rug<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Blot, don\u2019t rub<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take an absorbent cloth and blot the stain. Never rub a stain because that can do further damage to your rug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Vacuum your pet-friendly rug regularly<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regular vacuuming will help keep pet hair and dander from accumulating on your rug.
