childproof rug...what to look for?

[borntobemummy]

Our rug is getting pretty gross, we gave up getting stains out a while ago because we were going to replace it, then we decided to keep it, now it's just too far gone and we need to replace it lol:rolleyes:
What kind of things do I look for in a rug so it will be easy to keep clean and looking nice? What materials? colours? cleaning methods?

TIA

Synthetic wears well and cleans well. We have a synthetic traditional style rug (google images traditional rug if you're not sure what I mean) hides every stain, it's awesome :thumbsup:

I find the best rugs are made with New Zealand wool. :thumbsup: They are not the cheapest but are soft, plush, have good stain resistance and best of all
being wool are a natural fiber.

Edit to add- I have a cream Bholu NZ wool rug in the family room, the boys, being boys have spilt their drinks on it numerous times and Lacey has been sick on it, :o yet there isn’t one stain, it looks like new even after three years! :D
