5 Tips For Choosing Stain Resistant Carpet

5 Tips For Choosing Stain Resistant Carpet

There’s no one type of carpet that is right for every space. But for busy, active homes with children or pets, stain resistant carpet is often an important priority. In busy spaces, spills and accidents can easily occur leaving you with difficult to remove stains and spots. Often professional carpet stain removal is the only option. But choosing a stain resistant carpet from the start allows you to avoid stains and marks in the first place. There are several different features and options to choose from when it comes to deciding on a stain resistant carpet for your home or office.

Look At Your Lifestyle

The right carpet for your space depends on how you use it. It’s important to consider your lifestyle and who will be using the carpet when you make your choice. If you’re choosing carpet for a commercial space that gets a lot of traffic you want to choose a durable carpet with a stain resistant fiber or treatment, such as nylon. If you live in a busy home full of young children and animals you may be thinking that you will be replacing your carpet more regularly. In this case, it might be better to go with a more economical and disposable choice that matches the current trends.

Choose The Right Stain Resistant Fiber

The fiber type in your carpet can determine how stain resistance your carpet is. Wool is a completely natural fiber that resists stains without chemical treatments. It also naturally resists dirt and sediment. However, the cost of wool tends to make it a less popular choice. Other carpet fibers that are synthetic can also be stain resistant. Polyester and olefin carpets can be resistant to certain types of water-based stains, but susceptible to oil based stains.

Stain Repelling Carpet Treatments

If your carpet fiber is not naturally stain resistant, it can be treated with chemicals to make it stain resistant. While this option is not as popular for those who wish to avoid chemical treatments, it can be highly effective. Most nylon carpeting is treated with stain resistant chemicals, and this treatment can last for years before needing replacement. This makes nylon carpeting one of the most durable and resilient carpet choices.

Color Me Stain Free

The choice of color for your carpet can also determine how much stains show up or are hidden. Obviously, lighter carpets will show stains more easily and should be avoided in households with young children or pets. Darker carpets can help to conceal small stains, however they also make a room look smaller. A popular option that helps to reduce the look of stains is a neutral blend combining two colors. This effect looks stylish and can also help to conceal small spots or stains.

Consider Area Rugs

If you love the look and warmth of carpet, but are concerned your carpets will be subject to much staining, an area rug may be the better choice. Area rugs can be used on top of more stain resistant flooring such as hardwood, laminate, or tiles. Area rugs are also more easily replaced than wall-to-wall carpeting when they become too soil or stained. An area rug can improve the comfort of your home giving you the feel of carpet, while reducing the risk of permanent stains on your floors.

Choosing a more stain resistant type of carpet can help maintain your home or office carpeting in a spotless condition for longer. Considering your options and talking with your local flooring expert can help you make the right carpet choice for your residential or commercial space.
