CONS OF USING RUGS IN A KITCHEN

Rugs in a kitchen aren’t for everybody. Here are some reasons why:

CAN MOVE AROUND

As mentioned, the kitchen is prone to moisture. Therefore, rugs on the floor may become slippery when wet and slide around the area.

Reduce the risk of movement and potential falls by installing anti-slip rug grippers. These small and discreet pads keep the rug grounded to the floor underneath, helping you maintain a safe and slip-free kitchen.

DIFFERENT CLEANING REQUIREMENTS

In a kitchen, it’s not uncommon for spills and mess to occur, and sometimes, such debris can end up on the floor. For this reason, some homeowners don’t want to run the risk of ruining a rug or having to spend extra time cleaning it. However, it is possible to mitigate these issues.

All it takes is a little knowledge on how to choose the right rug for the kitchen. For example, flat dense weaves are less likely to get dirty and are easier to clean, synthetic rugs are better at resisting water, and patterned rugs work best for disguising wear and tear!
