You may be wondering what all the fuss is about, when you hear friends and acquaintances talking about play mats for their babies. You may think you keep your home clean and there is no need for such a thing.
But, most people don’t realize how much dust and dirt gets tracked in from outdoors, even if a guest comes to visit once a day. Carpet traps dust mites and dirt, so even if you vacuum daily, there is always something left behind. Hardwood floors can also trap dust if they’re not damp mopped daily.
You may also want to consider the kinds of stains you may get on your flooring if baby isn’t on something to protect it. Consider a waterproof baby play mat for those times when your infant will spend time on the floor. It can be wiped off frequently, to prevent the spread of dust and harmful germs. It will also prevent accidents from staining your floors.
