By Shawne M. Patrick

Selecting a type of flooring could be a massive decision for those who are on the lookout for certain features. Carpet is a popular choice for many folks, preferring it over area rugs, hardwood, laminate, vinyl or tile. Carpet adds comfort to any room and it feels warm and comfy under bare feet. But let's not forget about our pets! Indoor pets are people's companions, chums and members of their family. We like them indoor - with us. So to choose the best fiber type carpet that may last and still look good for both the family and indoor pets, keep reading!

Recycled Fiber is carpet that has been made of recycled plastics. More and more carpet today is being made of polyethylene terephthalate. Massive words for big results! This is excellent carpet for indoor pets because it is very resilient to serious traffic, it's static resistant and best of all, water resistant! No more stains, no more'wet patch' looks and no electrical shocks! For the reasons mentioned, Recycled fiber is rated as the best fiber type carpet to have in the home with indoor pets. Maybe someday soon they will come out with Recycled fiber area rugs!

The second most popular fiber type carpet bought in the carpet industry - Nylon. Nylon type carpet is the hottest type of carpet that's acquired for residential homes. It claims 90% of the market! It's producing strategy and quality varies in style as it does with prices. This type of carpet does extremely well with a house full of children and indoor pets. It's highly resilient under traffic and it resists marking and soiling. It's mostly sold as complete flooring or you can get nylon fiber area rugs too.

Third best would be the next highest purchased kind of carpet - Olefin. Olefin fiber carpet is made of polypropelene. Polypropelene is one of the fibers that is commonly used to make carpet. Like nylon, it too is resilient under traffic and it resists staining and soiling too. This kind of carpet can work best for families with indoor pets as it will last for a few years.
