Pets: Care Tips

A handcrafted rug brings charm and comfort to any home. But if you have a dog or cat, a question often arises: is it compatible with a quality rug? Good news: yes, absolutely! Just adopt a few simple habits to combine aesthetics, comfort... and fur 🐶🐱

The secret is choosing the right material. A wool rug is your best friend. Durable and naturally stain-resistant, this natural fiber doesn't easily retain hair, absorbs little odor, and withstands repeated use. It regains its shape after your pet's rubbing or impromptu naps. It's therefore an excellent choice if you're looking for a durable and easy-to-maintain rug.

👉 Some good reflexes to adopt:

• Vacuum regularly (2 to 3 times/week) with a soft brush.
• Dab immediately in case of accident (never rub).
• Use warm water and natural soap if necessary.

• Call a professional once a year for a deep cleaning.

The placement of the rug is also important. Choose patterns or slightly mottled colors to hide small everyday stains. Avoid very light rugs under bowls or the litter box. And if your pet has a favorite spot, why not place a small blanket or a secondary rug there to protect the main rug?

To preserve your handmade rug, also consider:

• Trim your pet's claws regularly.

• Turn the rug every 6 months for even wear.

• Ventilate the room regularly to avoid the buildup of odors.

At MemHome, we believe that elegance shouldn't be sacrificed for comfort. Our hand-knotted, artisanal wool rugs are designed to last, even in homes where life is punctuated by paws, games, and cuddles. 🌿

A well-chosen, ethical rug is also a great way to combine aesthetics and responsibility, for you... and for your four-legged friends. 💚
