Pets and floors: Rhino Floor
There are more families that own a pet than don’t, but many of us don’t actually have homes that are terribly suitable for man’s best friend. A large percentage of UK households own a cat or dog, not to mention other small pets like guinea pigs and hamsters. There are more than 10.3 million cats and 10.5 million dogs in the country, so it makes sense that you’d want to make some adjustments to make your home a little more suitable.
One of the biggest problems (after puppy training problems) is your pet’s nails. Dogs’ nails can be notoriously difficult to cut, as they generally don’t appreciate having their paws held down, and it can also be very easy to slip and overcut the nail, causing bleeding and pain. Laminate and hardwood floors can get scratched if the nails are especially long and your dog runs around the house a lot (which he likely does).
Pets will also shed, especially in the spring and summer months. This can be a problem with textile rugs, as the hairs are twisted into the fibers and then even a vacuum cleaner will have a hard time removing them.
Vinyl flooring like Rhino Floor is a great option for anyone with a pet looking for a more suitable flooring solution. Rhino Floor is strong and durable, as well as easy to maintain. Just mouse up and loose hairs, and use a mop to clean up liquid spills and splatters.
Rhino flooring is a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens, because it doesn’t matter if it comes into contact with moisture, which is obviously quite prominent in any of these environments.
Another benefit of these types of flooring is that because they are soft and cushiony, they are resistant to scratches and dents. They’ll also soften the sound of your pet’s claws as they walk across the floor, so you won’t have to deal with the little bumps you might associate with owning a pet.
Rhino flooring is an exceptional choice, and not just because it’s easy to clean up after your pet. It is also durable and strong, as well as being stylish. Quality flooring is available in a wide variety of designs, so you’re sure to find something to suit your style, even if you were looking for real wood or stone before.
