Washable Carpets refer to products that are safer to clean than regular carpets, as they can be easily removed from the floor without taking up time and effort. This is due to their lower fiber content. Washable Carpets are generally made up of a safe, low-allergen polypropylene fabric which you can wash right at home with warm water and soap.
Factors to consider when buying Washable Carpet
1. Cost
Washable Carpets are generally more expensive than regular carpets but are worth the extra expense because these carpets can be cleaned and reused. The cost of these carpets tends to be higher because they tend to take longer to replace and since most companies focus on producing a quality product that lasts, you can use washable carpets for longer periods.
2. Style
Washable carpets come in a variety of styles, patterns, and colors. It is a good idea to look for washable carpets that fit the design scheme of your home. For example, if you live in an apartment or condo and have to worry about resale value, you may want to look for neutral-tone carpets that can be easily replaced with any other style without harming resale value.
3. Durability
Washable carpets are generally more durable than regular carpets because these carpets have fewer loose fibers. Regular carpets tend to have loose fibers that can eventually lead to a worn or damaged carpet. Washable carpets also tend to last longer, because they are free of glues and binders that hold the fibers together.
4. Stain resistance
Washable carpets are stain-resistant, but they may not resist stains forever. If the stains on your carpet can be removed, you can wash and reuse your carpet.
5. Removable fabric
Some people prefer to remove washable carpets rather than replace them with a new piece of carpet whenever they get dirty or stained. You may want to choose a style that allows you to do this, for example, rugs with hidden zip-off sides.
Washable carpets are generally more costly than regular carpets, but they can be reused and cleaned over and over again. If you are concerned about the environment, carpets that resist stains and spills may be the right choice for you.
