Are carpets a good choice for dining rooms?
Yes, but choosing a stain-resistant, easy-to-clean carpet is essential for handling spills.
What is the best colour for a dining room carpet?
Darker shades like grey, brown, or patterned carpets help conceal stains.
Can I put a wool carpet in my dining room?
Wool is luxurious but may require extra care to prevent food stains.
How do I clean food spills from a dining room carpet?
Blot spills immediately with a damp cloth and use a carpet cleaner if necessary.
If your chosen carpet is one of the stain resistant yarns it can be cleaned with a mix of water and bleach solution. Another good tip is baby wipes which is a quick and easy way to help remove stains. The quicker the stain is cleaned the easier it is to remove.
Should I choose a low-pile or high-pile carpet for my dining room?
Low-pile carpets are easier to clean and better suited for dining areas.
