As all pet-owners know, there are some fabrics and materials that fare better than others around their pets. If you\u2019re planning on re-fitting floors, stone or ceramic tiles are the easiest to clean and help to keep pets cool when the weather is warm. Laminate or vinyl flooring is also easy to clean and less likely to stain. Although carpets are best to avoid, they can absorb sound – which is a benefit if your pets are noisy – plus they can be a great surface for naps. Go for a darker neutral low pile carpet – one that has shorter fibres and tighter fabric loops. It will be easier to vacuum and trap less allergens, such as dust and pet hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
