How to Enjoy Your Timber Floor With Your Adorable Pets?

We all want to spend as much time as we can with our dogs, but our houses must be able to withstand the occasional spills and scuffs. Your pet leaps off the couch, knocking over your drink and splashing it across your freshly cleaned engineered timber flooring in Sydney. To enjoy this beautiful in-home feature while having furry pets, make sure to use some key tips, which are as follows:

• Cleaning 

Toilet training mishaps are inevitable, as are senior dogs or cats knocking down vases and the like. Cleaning up spills as quickly as possible will help to avoid damage or discolouration to your timber floors.

• Feeding 

Dogs' saliva and urine can have significant levels of ammonia, which can damage or discolour timber flooring. Keeping dog bowls on a tray can help to avoid water splashes, and limiting feeding spots to areas that are simpler to clean or are not wood finished can help to reduce potential damage.

• Choose the right wood colour 

When you have pets, choosing the right timber colour may make a big difference in keeping your floors looking amazing. We suggest going with light to medium-coloured wood since it conceals scratches and dents better. They also provide plenty of light and warmth to your house!

• Grooming 

An excited dog rushing around the home with your children is fun, but it can damage your hardwood flooring. Keeping your pet's claws clipped will help to prevent scratches on your solid timber flooring in Sydney. This is not only great for your flooring, but it is also healthy for your pets!

• Use rugs in high-traffic areas 

Consider laying down a rug in high-traffic areas of the house where pets (or people) spend more time safeguarding your timber flooring from wear and tear. This is a simple and efficient approach for the most vulnerable areas of the property.  Area rugs protect your flooring without detracting from its beauty and can add aesthetic appeal to your room.
