Carpet that delivers lasting comfort

Which carpet style is best?

The style of carpet affects both its appearance and durability. Choosing the right construction helps your flooring perform well for years.

• Frieze and twist carpet: Frieze carpet features tightly twisted fibers that create a casual, textured look. The twisted yarn helps hide footprints, vacuum marks, and everyday wear, making it a smart choice for busy homes with children or pets.
• Loop and Berber carpet: Loop carpet uses uncut loops that provide outstanding durability. Berber is one of the most popular loop styles and often includes flecks of color that help disguise dirt. It's an excellent option for hallways, family rooms, and other high-traffic spaces.
• Pattern carpet: Pattern carpet combines cut and loop fibers to create decorative designs that add character without overwhelming a room. It also helps conceal traffic patterns and daily wear.
• Texture carpet: Texture carpet is one of today's most versatile options. Its soft, slightly twisted fibers create a comfortable appearance while minimizing footprints and shading, making it ideal for many areas of the home.

Which carpet fiber should you choose?

The carpet fiber you select plays a major role in comfort, durability, and maintenance.

• Nylon carpet: Nylon is known for exceptional durability and resilience. It holds its appearance well and performs beautifully in homes with children, pets, or heavy foot traffic.
• Polyester carpet: Polyester is prized for its softness, rich color, and excellent stain resistance. It offers outstanding value and works especially well in bedrooms and living areas.
• Polypropylene carpet: Polypropylene, also called olefin, naturally resists moisture and stains. It's a practical choice for lower-traffic spaces and areas where moisture resistance is important.

How do you clean and maintain carpet?

Routine care helps your carpet stay beautiful for years. Fortunately, maintenance is simple.

To keep your carpet looking its best:

• Vacuum high-traffic areas several times each week
• Vacuum other rooms weekly
• Blot spills immediately instead of rubbing them
• Use entry mats to reduce tracked-in dirt
• Place furniture pads under heavy furniture
• Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months

These simple habits help preserve your carpet's appearance while removing dust and allergens from the fibers.
