Toddlers-Love Them, Gotta Potty Train Them!

There are few joys in life that rival the joy of finally believing that your young tot is potty trained. Unfortunately, you have to take the training wheels of the bike at some point!      –Roughly translated, this means that you have to let them sleep in their own bed without a diaper eventually! And for you the parent, this can also translate into nights of wet sheets, an unhappy child and a soiled mattress.

At Textile Armor, we understand some of the frustrations that come with potty training    -because we have done it ourselves! And while every parent has to eventually go through it, there are things that can be done to make it less painful. Having a mattress protector is one of them! It’s one thing to have to wash pajamas and sheets; it is a totally different thing to try to soak urine out of a mattress at 3:00 in the morning. If you are a parent attempting the challenge of potty training, then check out our site for mattress protection at http://www.textilearmor.com/mattress_protection.htm.

Also, if you are a frustrated parent, here are some tips to help you with the potty training!

• It’s all about the bribe! Use small treats, for example M&M’s to reward your child each time they use the potty!
• Target Practice! Make a game out of it for your little boy! Throw a few cheerios in the toilet and see if your son can hit them when he goes to the bathroom!
• Load on the verbal praise!
• Its okay to lie: One Mom told her child that the poop feeds the fish when he flushes, if he doesn’t poop in the toilet, the fish go hungry! You don’t want the fish to go hungry right??

Animals and Furniture: The Good and the Bad

In the United States, having a pet just seems to complete the “American Dream” of a house, yard, kids and a dog (or cat). With over 63% of Americans owning an animal, little explanation needs to be given as to the reasons why. Many studies have shown that animals can not only reduce health, but also create a social support and other health benefits. However, as much as we love our pets-we all know that they can bring havoc on furniture. And that is why you need to protect your furniture.

The fabric protection line at Textile Armor will put of a first layer of defense between your furniture and your animals. It doesn’t matter if you have dogs or cats, both can soil and destroy furniture and make it look old, dirty and worn far before it’s time. At Textile Armor we have two lines of defense for your fabric. The U.S 2000 Fabric Protection and the U.S QD Fabric Protection are products that can be used on both natural and synthetic fabrics. They are both invisible to the eye and will not alter the texture or appearance of the fabric or furniture in anyway. Both of these products are non-toxic and non-allergenic which makes this an incredibly safe product for both your animals and your children. Both of these products only need to be applied once-as opposed to other products on the market today that require several applications. In addition, the Fabric Protection line at Textile Armor will not only prevent your furniture from stains, but it will also strengthen the fabric making it less resistant to ripping and tearing.

If you are tired of having your furniture look old and worn, give us a call. Our experts will be able to assist you in determining what product will best suit your needs and can arrange for immediate application.
