Top Qualities to Look for in Pet Proof Flooring
The best pet-proof flooring products all share certain characteristics.Resistance to Scratching
Dog and cat nails can easily scratch many flooring products, including hardwood flooring and foam tiles. If you have enthusiastic pets or want to start an agility or training facility, then you need flooring that’s resistant to this scratching.
Waterproof
When you have pets, you need a flooring product that’s waterproof. Inevitably, your flooring will be exposed to urine, and you don’t want it to damage your flooring if you don’t catch your pet’s accident right away.
Waterproof flooring also tends to be easier to clean. You can mop these types of products without worrying about the wood or foam absorbing the water or cleaning products, and you won’t have to worry about resulting swelling or mold.
Easy to Clean
You’ll also need a product that’s easy to clean. Being able to mop up dirt and grime is a major benefit when it comes to pet-proof flooring.
Additionally, think about the texture of the flooring you’re choosing. Look for a product that’s easy to sweep or Swiffer, which will allow you to quickly clean up pet hair.
