Pet-Friendly Window Treatments: Durable and Safe Solutions for Animal Lovers

Few things can bring someone as much comfort and joy as a pet. However, pets require training to ensure they don’t destroy furniture, carpet, or window treatments. So, what do you do if you’re trying to protect your window treatments from pets?

Exciting Windows can help! Are you ready to learn more about pet-friendly window treatments that can still bring charm and character to your home? Let’s dig in!

Key Features to Look for in Pet-Friendly Window Treatments

When seeking durable window coverings that won’t draw the ire of Sparky, Fido, or Princess Bubble Gum Drop, there are a few vital features to seek out:

  • Durability: You’ll need materials that resist scratches, tears, and chewing.
  • Safety: Cordless options are a plus here to prevent entanglement (and cats using them as toys).
  • Easy to clean: Pets cause stains. You’ll need a material that can be cleaned quickly and easily.

Recommended Window Treatment Options

Here are a few of our recommendations for safe window solutions if you have pets:

  • Plantation shutters: Durable, easy to clean, and safe with no cords.
  • Roller shades: Smooth fabric options that are easy to clean and avoid accumulation of fur.
  • Vertical blinds: Can withstand pets brushing against them; damaged slats are easy to replace.
  • Faux wood blinds: Strong, scratch-resistant, and resilient against pet-related wear.

Maintaining Pet-Proof Window Treatments

Many people prioritize animal safety, so you must learn to maintain your window treatments. Remember these ideas the next time you must clean up after your four-legged friends:

  • Regular treatment, including dusting, cleaning, and fur removal, is necessary.
  • You may need to consider pet-safe deterrents, such as non-toxic sprays, to prevent scratching or chewing.
