Light colors generally show fewer footprints, while dark colors
show less soil and stains.
Low-luster yarns will show fewer footprints, while high luster,
shiny yarns show more highlights and accents.
To minimize maintenance light colors are best restricted to low
traffic areas such as dining rooms, formal living rooms and guest
bedrooms.
Multi-colored carpets are extremely effective in minimizing the
effects of everyday dirt and soil.
Carpets with higher twist levels will hold their like-new appearance
longer, even in traffic areas.
 Color
Color is always first on our minds when it comes to choosing a
floor. Consider how you want the carpet to coordinate with your
interior. Do you want the carpet to be the focal point or blend
with your interior?
Foot Traffic
High Traffic areas, such as hallways and entryways require durable
carpets made of resilient fibers engineered to resist wear abrasion,
crushing and matting. Other areas, such as bedrooms and family
rooms may have high traffic areas as well. Take a moment to
inspect the carpet you are replacing before it is removed to
identify high traffic areas in your home.
Performance
The performance and quality of a carpet is directly related to
the amount and quality of fiber that goes into the pile. The better
the fiber and the denser it is packed, the better the carpet will
perform. Thin, less dense carpet will lose its surface appearance
faster. It is best to buy the highest quality carpet and cushion
that you can afford.
Carpet Fibers
The most common fibers used in carpet today are nylon, olefin,
polyester and natural fibers such as wool or sisal. The inherent
characteristics found in each of these fibers helps determine
their use and color offering. Premium, nylon soft fibers are
extremely popular and offer superior soil-hiding characteristics,
comfort, durability and brilliant color palettes.
Soil Resistance
 With soil-resistant treated carpets you no longer have to be afraid
of choosing a lighter, more vibrant color to enhance your decor.
Odor Protection
With Mohawk Carpets treated with Odor-Eaters™ technology
worries about pet and food spills are minimized.
Stain Resistance
Most residential carpets offer some type of stain resistance.
Those who enjoy entertaining or who have children and pets should
consider carpets with high levels of stain resistance.
Carpet Construction
Carpet construction varies from loops, cut piles to patterns which
produce different degrees of texture, appearance and durability.
Each type of construction is designed to meet the diverse lifestyles
of today's families.
Carpet Cushion/Padding
Carpets last longer and perform better when the proper cushion
is used underneath. Although carpet cushion is often thought
of as an add-on it is an integral part of the carpet system.
