Choose the best carpet for your space

Which carpet style is best?

The style you choose affects both the appearance and performance of your carpet.

• Texture carpet: Texture carpet is the most popular residential option. Its twisted fibers help hide footprints, vacuum marks, and everyday wear, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and family spaces.
• Frieze carpet: Frieze carpet features tightly twisted fibers that create a relaxed, casual appearance. It stands up well to heavy foot traffic while helping conceal dirt and wear.
• Loop and Berber carpet: Loop carpet, including Berber styles, uses uncut loops for exceptional durability. It's an excellent choice for hallways, offices, and other active areas.
• Pattern carpet: Pattern carpet combines cut and loop fibers to create decorative designs that add visual interest while helping disguise daily wear.

Which carpet fiber should you choose?

Carpet fiber influences durability, softness, stain resistance, and overall performance.

• Nylon carpet: Nylon is one of the strongest carpet fibers available. It offers exceptional durability and resilience, making it an excellent choice for active households.
• Polyester carpet: Polyester is prized for its softness, vibrant color, and stain resistance. It's a great option for bedrooms and living spaces where comfort is a priority.
• Polypropylene (Olefin) carpet: Polypropylene naturally resists moisture and stains. It's commonly found in loop and Berber carpets and performs well in areas prone to spills.
• Wool carpet: Wool is a premium natural fiber known for its luxurious feel, beauty, and insulating properties. It provides lasting comfort and timeless appeal.

How do you clean and maintain carpet?

Proper care helps your carpet look its best for years. Fortunately, maintenance is simple with a consistent routine.

To keep your carpet looking great:

• Vacuum high-traffic areas several times each week
• Vacuum other rooms weekly
• Clean spills immediately
• Use entry mats to reduce dirt and moisture
• Rotate furniture occasionally to minimize wear patterns
• Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months

These simple steps help preserve your carpet's appearance, softness, and longevity.
