What would be a good pad to put down that can get a little wet (not too wet, just some wet feet and swimsuit bottoms)?<\/em><\/p><p>Thanks,<br>\nFrank<\/p><p><strong>Answer<\/strong>: This is a great question because padding can make a big difference in the performance of your carpet. Based on the information that you gave me, it sounds like the only water that will be getting on the carpet or padding is just what the kids bring in from the swimming pool. I would compare this to a situation very similar to walking out of the shower into a bedroom with carpet in it.<\/p><p>This is not a lot of water, but is still something to be concerned about. They make pads with a moisture barrier on them, such as <a title=\"Stainmaster Carpet Pad\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/products\/pads\/memory-foam.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stainmaster pad<\/a> to name just one of many, so I would check out some of these type pads which would seem to be the most suitable for your situation. If I can be of any more help in finding you some of these type of pads, please just let me know.<\/p><p>Thanks for the question,<br>\nMike Jones<\/p><p>Carpet Express, Inc.<br>\n(800) 922-5582<br>\n915 Market Street<br>\nDalton, GA 30720<\/p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Question: I am in New Jersey and have remodeled a sunporch with concrete floor that has wet kids&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,33],"tags":[1361,1357,48,56],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":711,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions\/711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
