Pet Resistant Flooring in Glendora

Tile

Tile is an excellent pet-resistant flooring material. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are incredibly durable. In fact, they are highly resistant to scratching from claws. They are also nearly impenetrable, so accidents or stains can be easily cleaned up. Odors will not soak into the tile, the way they soak into carpets. There’s a reason bathrooms are often outfitted in tile—they can withstand water or liquids for hours without damage.

Laminate

Laminate is a great flooring option for pet owners. Laminate looks like hardwood, but is water-resistant, stain-resistant, easy-to-care-for, and odor-resistant. It is largely scratch resistant, making it an excellent choice for homes with cats, dogs, and other clawed critters. Cleaning laminate floors is also a piece of cake. In the case of a pet accident, clean up the urine as soon as possible. You may wish to sprinkle baking soda on the affected area if the area was wet for an extended period.

Stone

Stone is a great pet-resistant flooring material. It is highly resistant to wear-and-tear, stains, and liquids. Stone also provides your pet with a cool surface to enjoy during Glendora’s sweltering summer months.

Hardwood: Bamboo, Engineered

Although solid hardwood floors are not ideal options if you have pets, bamboo flooring and engineered hardwoods can be great options for homes or offices with pets. Bamboo is incredibly strong, and resistant to scratching. It can be susceptible to damage from liquids if they are allowed to remain on the surface for extended periods.

Engineered hardwood is also a pet-friendly flooring option, but liquid stains should be cleaned up quickly. It isn’t as scratch-resistant as tile, but it can be treated with a protective finishing that helps keep it looking flawless.
