The benefits of having home floor mats

But why should you even bother investing in flooring mats for home; is there really a point to them apart from the fact that they look good? There are actually several benefits to picking mats, carpets and rugs for your home.

You need to have a door mat at the entrance of your home, because when someone is coming in from outside, you do not want them tracking in all the dirt and mud inside.
The same is the reason to have a mat at any other entry/exit of your home – whether it is your terrace, balcony or backyard.
Carpets and rugs are perhaps one of the easiest ways to protect the floor, which is all the more important for flooring such as hardwood or even high-end marble.
Having anti-slip mats in rooms which are occupied by the elderly or small children is also a must, because this can help avoid, to a certain extent, some slips and falls.
You need to have mats outside the bathrooms as well, because when you come out of a bath, you do not want the entire floor becoming wet too!
Many people choose to have mats in their kitchen too, as it adds a certain colour and style and also has practical purposes, such as offering you a softer surface to stand on and avoid slipping due to water or anything else spilling on the floor.
Carpets can also offer a sense of warmth, especially during the winter months, because you can avoid touching the cold floor.
If you are someone who likes to sit on the floor, then a rug or even a durrie can offer a small soft protection between the absolutely hard floor and your body.

And then there is obviously the fact that a pretty looking carpet or rug can immediately change the vibe of the space, brightening it up in an instant! At Meolaa, you will be able to pick and choose from a huge collection of flooring products and we are sure that something will certainly catch your eye.

Choose the perfect floor carpet mat for your home

Now that you know about the benefits of picking up floor carpet for house, let’s spend some time understanding how to pick the right option; what are the factors that you need to keep in mind, while shopping for your home needs:

Shape and size – Obviously you need to start with the shape and size of the carpet or mat, because it needs to fit inside the room or has to look appropriate with the space. Generally, you should be able to find square, rectangle, circular and oval shaped carpets and rugs quite easily.

Care and maintenance tips for your house flooring mat

You have purchased home floor mats for every room and they look absolutely stunning; but you will also need to know how to take care of them. This is important because regular care and maintenance of any product can ensure a longer life. Here are some tips that you can follow to keep your mats, carpets and durries looking good:

Natural fibers, such as cotton, jute and hemp, can be washed easily – small ones might be machine washable, while larger ones might have to washed by hand. Using a mild cleaning agent, you can wash these and then allow them to dry in the sun, until all traces of moisture are gone.
Materials such as rubber and plastic can be wiped clean using a wet cloth or even a vinegar water solution. You can use peels of orange or lemon to clean and add a natural fragrance too. Remember to dry them in the sun as well.
