Bring warmth and comfort home with carpet

Which carpet fiber is best for your space?

Carpet fiber affects softness, durability, appearance, and maintenance. Consider the room’s traffic level and your household when comparing materials.

• Nylon is known for resilience and durability. It stands up well to regular foot traffic, making nylon carpet a popular choice for active households and frequently used rooms.
• Polyester carpet provides softness and excellent color options at an approachable price. It can be a great fit when comfort and style are priorities.
• Polypropylene, also known as olefin, resists moisture and many stains. It is often found in looped carpets and products designed for specific residential or commercial applications.
• Wool is a premium natural fiber valued for its softness, rich appearance, and lasting beauty. Wool carpet is an appealing option when you want a luxurious carpet made from a natural material.

How do you clean and maintain carpet?

Consistent care helps carpet stay fresh and attractive. Vacuum regularly to remove dust, dirt, pet hair, and debris before particles become embedded in the fibers. Busy areas may require more frequent vacuuming.

Treat spills promptly by blotting with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbing. Always follow the carpet manufacturer’s care instructions before using cleaning products or stain treatments.

Periodic professional cleaning can remove deeper dirt that ordinary vacuuming leaves behind. Using entry mats can also reduce the amount of soil tracked onto your carpet.
