Durable Materials for Kids Room Rugs

It's no secret that kids are tough on furnishings, which is why we choose to carry kids' room rugs made from only the most durable materials. Our biggest sellers include nylon and wool. Which you select will depend on your children's unique needs. Nylon is known for resisting stains from dirt and heavy wear, and it is far less prone to fading that other common materials. Wool gives the space a more luxurious look, but may work better for infants or older children, as it is less able to withstand heavy traffic. Handmade kids' room rugs tend to last longer, while machine-made are usually stronger and more cost-efficient. Whatever you choose, you can be sure of a contemporary look and soft feel, making our rugs kids' favorite floor play areas.

Caring for Kids Room Rugs

Keep your kids' room rugs looking great by starting off with high-quality, easily cleaned materials, such as those offered at ModernCollections.com. You will also benefit from darker shades and busier patterns, which will help hide the inevitable spills and stains. For small accent rugs, choose water-friendly styles that can be hand or machine washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Larger room-size rugs need frequent vacuuming, as regular soil removal has been shown to extend their useful life considerably. Note that vacuuming underneath rugs will protect your floor, as dirt that works its way through the rug's weave can have a sandpaper effect on wood underneath. Rotate rugs by 90 degrees quarterly if possible, or 180 degrees semi-annually if that is more practical. This is to even out wear from foot traffic, as well as ensure that fading from exposure to light is uniform. Plan on professional rug cleaning every two or three years, depending on how much traffic the room gets.
