Cut pile, not loop.
Cats and dogs can snag loop-pile carpets with their claws, pulling loops and leaving a line of damage. A cut pile, and especially a twist, is a safer choice in any room a pet uses.
Heathered colours in mid tones hide hair and the odd muddy paw print between vacuums.
Choose the fibre for the mess.
Some polypropylene twist ranges are designed to be cleaned with diluted bleach solutions, which makes accidents far less stressful. That claim belongs to the exact range and its care guide, never to every carpet.
Wool is naturally resilient and hides wear well, but it needs gentler cleaning. If your household is very busy, a practical synthetic twist may be the sensible compromise.
Hard floors and paws.
Vinyl is easy to wipe and kinder to claws than laminate, which can scratch. Textured finishes give dogs more grip than very smooth ones. A washable rug in the spot where the dog sleeps protects any floor.
- Cut pile or twist in rooms pets use.
- Heathered mid-tone colours.
- Check the stain-care guide for the exact range.
- Vinyl or textured finishes where claws meet hard floors.
Children, crumbs and craft glue.
For playrooms and children’s bedrooms, a practical twist with a straightforward care routine is hard to beat. In kitchens and dining rooms a wipeable vinyl makes life easier.
Keep the range name and care leaflet after fitting. When something is spilled, the right advice is a phone call away.
