Carpet is unmatched when it comes to creating a quiet, comfortable environment. It absorbs sound and is quiet and soft underfoot. Cut pile feels plush and luxurious, while loop piles feel firm and supportive.

Most carpet owners have been taught to fear spills and stains, but modern manufacturers have adapted for households with pets and kids by creating built-in stain resistance systems. Some even offer spill proof backings to keep the carpet pad from absorbing liquids.  

Many of our carpets are made from recycled or low-VOC materials. Carpet can act as an insulator, reducing heating and cooling costs, and can even be hypoallergenic if regularly cleaned.

The durability of your carpet depends on its type, pile height, and twist level. Tightly twisted pile better resists matting and crushing than styles with a looser twist. Loop styles along with level-cut-loop styles offer the best wear resistance and are ideal for hallways and stairs.

Clean your carpet regularly with a manufacturer-approved vacuum. Carpet in low- to medium-traffic areas should be vacuumed once or twice a week, but carpet in high-traffic areas benefits most from a quick daily vacuum.

Most carpets are stain resistant, but not stain proof, so don’t let a spill soak into the fibers. Using a clean cloth soaked in warm water and gentle detergent, blot (don’t rub!) the dirty area until the stain is gone, and dry with a separate cloth. Don’t leave the carpet soaking wet, only use manufacturer-approved cleaning products, and never ever bleach your carpet.
