It’s no secret that kids can be tough on things. This is why you should consider some differences in carpets and their durability when choosing the carpet for a child’s room. Carpets come in many different colors, different piles and are made from different types of materials. Some fair better than others when it comes to kids. Leading Carpet Cleaning can walk you through the many options for buying a kid friendly carpet.

Carpet Type Cut & Loop Pile

Carpets come in many different varieties. There are however, three main choices when it comes to types of carpet: cut pile, loop pile and a combination of cut and loop pile.

Dense Cut Pile Carpet is Easy to Vacuum

With cut pile the fibers are cut evenly along the top. This is a very soft option. Cut pile can be a good option for a child’s room, if the carpet is dense enough. When looking at a carpet sample you can bend the sample in half and if you can see the backing through the bend, it isn’t dense enough. It may cost a bit more to buy a denser carpet, but it will last longer in the end. It will also help prevent crumbs and other debris accumulating deep into your carpet by keeping them at the surface.

Durable Loop Pile Carpet

Loop pile is another great choice for a child’s room or play area because of its durability. In a loop pile carpet, the fibers are looped back and attached again to the backing so there aren’t any fiber tips exposed. They may not be as soft as a cut pile carpet, but they can withstand a lot of high traffic and abuse over the years.

Cut and Loop Pile Carpet Hides Debris

This is not as durable as the loop pile, but it is softer. Because it combines the two options above it can be very appealing to the eye and comfortable at the same time. This type of carpet is good at hiding small pieces of paper and crumbs that little kids track all over the house. It does however house allergens and dirt as well, which can be unappealing. Sometimes it is better to keep the pile in your child’s room level with the loop pile or cut pile carpets.

Different Types of Carpet Fibers: Wool & Nylon

There are three main types of fibers used in carpets. They include:

1. Hypoallergenic & Microbial Wool Carpet – This is one of the most expensive options. It is expensive because of its durability. It is a great choice if you have a child that suffers from allergies. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. It is appealing because of its natural fibers.
2. Nylon & Other Synthetics Resist Stains on Carpet – These carpets come in a wide variety of color and textures. They are very affordable and often times very good at resisting stains. They are often times very soft as well, which makes them a good choice for a child’s room.
3. Stain Resistant Wool and Nylon Blend Carpet– This option comes with a lower price than a 100% wool carpet, but still has a great durability. It is usually more synthetic than wool and comes in many different varieties and colors. Because of the synthetics used, it is very stain resistant.

There are many people that realize the importance of having their carpet cleaned and have them done on a regular basis. With that said they are missing a great opportunity to better their home by skipping the upholstery cleaning. This is any furniture that is made from any kind of fabric. Just like any other fabric, upholstery needs to be cleaned to prevent damage and stop smells and staining. Just like the carpets, your upholstery is taking on dirt, debris and stains that should be getting cleaned by a professional.

Improve Indoor Air Quality: Just like having your carpets cleaned can improve the quality of the air your upholstery cleaning can do the same. Your upholstery is just like any other fabric and can soak in different debris such as spills from liquid to skin cells and dust. These can all lead to the air in your home being contaminated with these items. All it takes for these things to take flight and fly around in the air is to have someone sit on the couch. That is enough to agitate the dust and debris and that will contribute to the amount of contaminate you are finding in the air. If you have bad air quality it can lead to trouble with asthma and allergies.
Upholstery Cleaning Can Protect The Life Of The Couches and Chairs: The fabric on your couches and chairs can be damaged when you allow dirt and debris to stay on them. The cleaning will take away the dirt and leave the fabric clean. The fabric can be damaged and mashed in making it look terrible and you may need to replace them sooner than you wanted. A professional carpet cleaner can come out and clean your upholstery as an individual package or you can bundle it with your regular carpet cleaning.
