Choosing the perfect area rug for your child’s playroom

May 21, 2008

Are you thinking about putting an area rug in your children’s
play area? These rugs can be great fun for kids. Many have
fantastic colors and designs on them. Some have games or puzzles
that the kids can play. Our favorite are area rugs are the ones
with race tracks on them, the kids can race their play cars
around the city. When choosing the perfect area rugs for your
kids play area keep the following tips in mind.

Kids are more prone to getting the carpet dirty. Of course you
already know that! The best way to combat this is to select a
carpet with a lower pile. This will help make the carpet easier
to clean should it get dirty because the vacuum can get right
down there a get all the dirt out. As a general guideline aim
for a pile to longer than 1/3 of an inch. An added bonus if a
low pile is the increased durability it brings.

Note the fiber the rug is made out of. Is it natural or
synthetic? Synthetic fibers such as nylon or polypropylene are
made from a type of plastic. We recommend these types of fibers
are they are more durable and can help avoid stains.

Also take note of where you are buying it. If you choose to
purchase the rug online make sure you check out the merchant
before buying. Confirm that they have a return policy in case
you are unsatisfied with the rug. Also check their shipping
charges, some merchants charge more than others. One final tip
is to check weather or not they charge tax, if your buying an
expensive rug this can equal substantial savings for you.
