Why homeowners choose carpet

• Soft, warm and comfortable, a favorite for bedrooms, family rooms and stairs.
• Absorbs sound, so rooms and upper floors feel quieter.
• A huge range of colors, textures and pile styles.
• Many stain-resistant and pet-friendly fiber options (ask about each product's features).
• A good pad adds comfort and helps the carpet wear well.

Care tips

• Vacuum high-traffic areas often and the rest of the house weekly. Regular vacuuming keeps soil from wearing down fibers.
• Blot spills right away with a clean white cloth. Don't rub. Work from the outside of the spot in.
• Follow your carpet manufacturer's guidance on professional hot-water extraction cleaning, which many warranties require.
• Use entry mats to keep dirt from being tracked in.
• Move furniture occasionally and use furniture cups to limit crushing.
• Trim snags with scissors. Don't pull them.
