Caring For Baby Room Carpets
Caring For Baby Room Carpets
Carpets are one of the most popular choice for nursery floor covers. For starters they are a soft flooring material – which is vital when you have a baby crawling around the room. You get to protect the little ones’ knees, and also cushion the falls as the growing toddler learns how to walk. Carpets are also special air filters, trapping dust and other allergens in the fibres of the material, preventing them from getting airborne. This helps the baby breathe easier.
Different factors go into selecting the ideal carpet for your baby’s room. First definitely is the softness, where going for the carpets with finer fibres and higher densities will be more effective in providing the cushioning effect desired. Getting carpets that have low VOC levels, especially those sourced from natural materials, is also recommended. Also, when it comes to the installation, this should ideally be done before the baby is born – or when the baby sleeps in a different room. Basically, the goal is to allow a couple of days to pass after the installation, keeping the door of the room closed and the windows open, to allow the carpet to get aired out before the little one takes up residence in the room.
