Under-pads
come in handy for protection against spills, staining and wearing. However, a
poorly made or even the wrong type of under-pad can have damaging effects. This
happens when certain considerations like foot traffic isn’t kept in mind.
Hardwood floors
Traffic
Heavy foot
traffic can damage a rug. Having the wrong under-pad furthers this damage.
Ideal under-padding is shock absorbing and thick. If the under-pad is too thin
or made of foam material, it will flatten and disintegrate under pressure.
Overall, it won’t protect the rug.
Quality
Cheaply
made or fragile under-pad will have undesired affects on your rug. Fragile
under-pad with waffle pattern is only meant for rugs with low foot traffic. If
it’s put in a high traffic location it won’t last long and will break. Cheaply
made foam under-pad will disintegrate over time and could have effects on your
health.
Choosing
the right under-pad for your rugs is important. There is more than one factor
to keep in mind in order to choose the right one. When in doubt it is easy to
ask a carpet cleaning professional. They can aid you in making the right
decision and will mostly likely have quality samples and products at hand.
