1. The front entrance

As the first procedure for us to enter the house, the rug is placed at the door to allow us to remove the dust from the soles of our feet. But some people put the floor mat outside the door, and some people put the floor mat inside the door. Should it be placed outside or inside?

As a rug for entry, we recommend placing one outside the door and one inside the door. The rug outside the door is mainly used to block large particles of dust outside. It is recommended to choose a plastic floor mat with small holes that can leak dust, and the cost is also very low, and the rug inside the door is mainly filtered for a second time, leaving fine dust, which is generally not easy to get dirty and easy to clean. Ensuring the cleanliness of the entrance to the greatest extent.

Try to choose rugs that are easy to clean, and at the same time, consider simplicity. For example, the material of the mats that are often used in cars is very suitable. It will be clean when you rinse it with water, and it is very resistant to dirt.

2. Kitchen

In the kitchen, when washing dishes and cooking, a lot of water is often used to cause the floor near the faucet to be wet. Such a floor is very slippery and easy to slip, so we can use floor mats to absorb water and prevent slipping. It can also prevent cooking fumes from dirtying the floor.

There are a lot of cooking fumes and water stains in the kitchen, so the floor mats are often prone to become oily and dirty, so try to choose cotton flocking materials, which are relatively cheap, and you can prepare several more for easy replacement. Also try to choose a dark color, which is more resistant to dirt. Generally, we will choose one long and one short hairstyle, and the back should be non-slip.

3. Bathrooms

It's really nice to take a shower after a long day of work, but many bathroom floor designs are mostly made of ceramic tiles. If you are not careful, you may slip and fall. At this time, you need to use a bathroom anti-slip floor mat.

The bathroom rugs need to choose which with good water absorption performance, and special attention should be paid to non-slip, because the bathroom is always prone to a lot of water. There is a kind of adiatom mud floor mat, the water absorption is very good, and at the same time, it can be dried quickly to avoid the growth of mold.

4. Bedrooms

As for the bedroom rug, there are many functions. The first is the role of sound insulation. With its’ tight and breathable structure, the carpet can absorb and isolate sound waves, and has a good sound insulation effect. The second is to improve air quality. The fluff on the carpet surface can capture and absorb dust particles floating in the air, effectively improving indoor air quality. The third is to ensure the safety of the family. Carpet is a kind of soft paving material, which is different from hard floor paving materials such as marble and ceramic tile, and is not easy to slip and bump. The most common role of rugs is to decorate your room. Carpets have rich patterns, brilliant colors and diverse shapes, which can beautify your decorative environment and reflect your personality.

The floor mats in the bedroom are generally placed beside the bed, where the bare feet can be stepped on, so that our feet will not feel very cold. We can choose some soft and pollution-free rugs, which made of microfiber or cotton material. After all, it is direct physical contact by our body.
