Everything I have read says that rubber tiles are a good flooring solution when you have pets and there are occasional accidents. My husband wants to ask you, though, are they resistant to cat or dog urine? We are thinking of using these for our basement. Can they tolerate having a washer and dryer set on them? Thanks!

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles - Designer Series can handle spills of any kind. These rubber tiles are semi-porous, so you will still want to clean any spills right away. If you don't, the liquid won't go through the tiles. What will happen is that the liquid will eventually evaporate, and what is left are the salts in the liquid. These tiny salts can get caught in the pores in the floor. To prevent this, we recommend sealing our rubber flooring with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. Since these are interlocking rubber tiles, you will want to ensure they are interlocked tightly to prevent liquids from flowing between the cracks. To really make these joints water-tight, we recommend using one of our seam sealer glues. Our rubber flooring is designed to be used in commercial and residential gyms where heavy weight equipment is present. This means our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles - Designer Series would work perfectly under your washer and dryer.
