PLEASANT GROVE UT 84062 – Choosing Carpet For Kids’ Rooms
Children’s rooms provide a chance to be expressive and fun with your sense of design. They also require some careful planning and attention to detail. One of the biggest details involved is the choice of carpet. The carpet in a kid’s room will have to be able to stand up to a lot of use. It will probably be spilled on and maybe even drawn on. Mud will be tracked in and grass will be ground in. That’s why it is important that when you are choosing carpet for kids’ rooms, you should select carpet that will meet all of these unique needs.
Stain-Resistance
The number one factor to consider is stain resistance. Keep in mind that no carpet is stain-proof. Spills still need to be cleaned promptly. However, stain-resistant carpet lessens the chance that spills will become permanent stains.
Texture
Choose a carpet that will not show tread marks. Excessive tread marks from heavy traffic can cause extra wear and tear. Berber carpet is a good option. Avoid plush carpets or other high pile carpets and rugs.

Maintenance
Dirty carpets can be a source of germs, dust, molds and more. A clean carpet is essential if you want to have a healthy environment for your family. When it comes to spot cleaning, it always helps to be prepared. Try to keep a stock of the cleaning supplies you need so you are ready to clean the stain right away. Immediately blot the spill with a towel to absorb as much of the liquid as possible. Then apply the carpet cleaning agent by blotting it into the carpet. Rinse the cleaner out of the carpet by blotting with a towel. Use a dry towel to absorb the rest of the moisture. A fan can also be used to speed the drying process.
Professional Cleaning
Regular vacuuming of your carpet is one of the best ways to improve your indoor air quality. It will also remove soil and keep it from getting ground into the carpet fibers. However, vacuuming and spot cleaning alone cannot completely clean your carpet. Professional carpet cleaning is also essential to fully remove allergens and destroy bacteria. It can also extend the life of your carpet and keep it looking like new. Cleaning is recommended every 12 months for households with kids. More frequent cleanings may be desired based on the level of traffic and amount of spills that take place.
