Nekhbet Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just got end of roll carpet pieces, neatened the edges and voila, room size for under $50 if they get too manky just chuck them out. Much cheaper then rugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatsofatsoman Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 we got ours (pictured) from rugs a million I think - that is 5mths without a clean in the pic (other than when my wife drunknly spills her red wine ) as you can see from the second pic he likes to spend more time on the lounge than rug anyway, and with that luckily his coat mixes in quite well colourwise.

BCPuppy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Mainly tiles, and some floorboards for us. She has her own beds but likes tiles for their cool. One large rug in living room, was tearing my hair out trying to keep it clean of long BC hair, discovered that a tile grout scrubbing brush does the job brilliantly, its like a heavy duty scrubber but only a couple of rows wide and fits onto a screw in swivel broom handle. Quicker than getting the vac out every day, and now only steam clean rug around once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs D Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have tiles in the hall and main living space and I have two good quality Persian handwoven rugs in this area. Well I do when I'm not toilet training a puppy. The rugs vaccum up a treat because they are single thread and not loop, so the hairs come off them perfectly. They are easy to clean if a dog has a chucky moment (Bronte is a frequent chucker) because they are wool and repel most moisture. I haven't done it, but the guy at the store said that being wool if things go really pear shaped I could take them out and hose them off too, then line dry them. I expect they would take a heck of a long time to dry though, they are pretty thick and heavy. I agree, they're great and so easy with hair. I have thrown 2 small ones in the washing machine and they survived...only just though. I wouldn't recommend it. I have wool rugs which I have had to hose. My smaller ones I've hosed off quite a few times. They do take a couple of days to fully dry, but they come up OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
