Best Carpets for Pets

Best Carpets for Pets: in order to find the best types of carpet for pets, a few things should be considered.

Home owners looking for the best carpet for pets, generally have two main concerns; durability and stain resistance. Pet accidents, and simple wear and tear from pet traffic can take a heavy toll on your carpet and shorten its life span. These days, consumers are including health and environmental advantages to their list of flooring “must haves”, and finding carpet that meets these concerns is getting less and less complicated.

Carpet is a practical flooring option because:

it’s easier on the feet than most other types of flooring,

it prevents slips and cushion falls,

carpet insulates a room, reducing noise level

carpet can help reduce the cost of heating and air conditioning.

A common concern with carpet flooring is that it may affect asthma and allergy sufferers by clinging to dust and pet dander. Both The Carpet and Rug Institute and the Canadian Carpet Institute assert that wall-to-wall carpeting actually traps allergens until they can be vacuumed. Both organizations claim that carpet is the best choice for allergy sufferers, and the best carpet for pets as long as you vacuum and deep clean your carpet regularly.

If you have your heart set on the best types of carpet for pets, you’ll want to take the following factors into account when making your selection:

Fabrics: Carpeting can be made from wool, which is a natural fiber, or from synthetic fibers like nylon, olefin and polyester. Wool carpets tend to be the softest, and are naturally flame-retardant. Wool also breaks down more quickly in landfills, but it’s more expensive than synthetic fibers and it’s not nearly as stain-resistant.

Carpeting made from nylon fibers is popular because it’s durable, stain-resistant and affordable, making it the Best Carpets for Pets. Olefin and polyester carpeting is cheaper than nylon but carpets made from these fibres are also less durable.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Some carpets may contain VOC’s. VOC’S are chemicals that can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, and they can have negative neurological effects.

Newer carpets generally contain lower levels of VOCs, and carpets that carry The Carpet and Rug Institute’s Green Label are certified to be low-VOC. The manufacturing process for newer carpets also requires less water and energy, and these carpets are often made from recycled materials.

Carpets made just for pets

Some carpets have been specially designed primarily to prevent pet stains from soaking through to your carpet padding, where the moisture can harbour bacteria and facilitate mold growth. It’s also a good idea to consider carpet tiles, which make replacing damaged sections of your carpet easier. Some colors or patterns can hide pet hair better than others, so considering this when choosing new carpet is a definite plus.

Once you’ve installed your beautiful, new, best types of carpet for pets, be sure to clean it often and clean it well. Keeping your new carpet for pets clean and dry inhibits mold growth. To give your carpet the best care, choose a vacuum that can reduce dust in the air.

  • Dazzle Carpet Cleaning provided excellent service at very competitive prices. The technician they sent, Aidan, was punctual, professional and pleasant. He worked on stains until both he and I were satisfied they were removed. The products used were scent-free and dry within a couple of hours. I would definitely use Dazzle services again.

  • I had the Dazzle come in to have our carpet cleaned prior to the arrival of our newborn. It was a very last minute decision and initially, I was hesitant about cleaning the carpet as I remembered it would usually leave a strong chemical smell and I had to ventilate the whole house for at least a couple days. We are a family of two young toddlers and a newborn on the way and I was not sure if I wanted to risk having the wet and chemical soaked carpet only a couple weeks before my due date. But I realized I worried for nothing. I was able to get an appointment promptly and get the work done in a matter of a few days. Rob and his assistant did a fantastic job! There was absolutely no need for me to worry about the smell or ventilation as there was none and the carpet were spotlessly clean. They convinced me that I could have a clean, if not cleaner, carpet without having to use strong chemical filled products. I would highly recommend to anybody but especially, for families with young children like ours who can appreciate their plant based products that are safer to little ones. All in all, I am 120% satisfied with their work and would love to have them come back to clean our carpet in the future again!

  • Dazzle came to do carpet cleaning in my apartment building which turned out incredible. Our building is very old and the carpets were very saturated. You can see the lightness in color now and they no longer smell. I also utilized them to clean my carpet, bar stools, and couch on the same day. They did an excellent job. Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable

  • I recently had Dazzle clean my parents carpet after my dogs had multiple accidents in their home. They did an amazing job removing the pet stains and their customer service skills went beyond my expectations. They were extremely knowledgeable about carpets and area rugs, and at they end of their service, they gave my mother a sachet filled with cleaning and stain removing goodies to help maintain the wonderful job they did cleaning their carpets. I highly recommended going with Dazzle, if they can clean the mess my dogs made on my parents white carpets, they can clean anything.

  • We had our carpet cleaned by them when my baby is three months old. They use plant based solution so it’s baby and pets friendly. Carpet got cleaned very well except one spot was stained with oil which came back to the surface after couple days which was exactly what they told us what might happen since it’s oil. Other than that, the carpet looks fresh and clean and they were able to remove couple of tough stains left by our dog. Will definitely use them again!

  • We are extremely happy with the carpet cleaning and vinyl waxing job, Rob and his team from Dazzle has done for us in our office space. They were quick, efficient and more than accommodating to us for our needs. The outcome was fantastic! I would highly recommend and intend to use them again in the future.
