Want a Cleaner Home? Easy-to-Clean Carpeting Is Key

Many homeowners love carpeting. Its look and comfort, in addition to its insulating qualities, make it an essential home-decorating element. The fear, however, can be the stains left behind, such as the red wine that accidentally slipped from someone’s hand one holiday party or a pet that didn’t quite make it outside.

In the event mishaps like these occur, it pays to have carpeting that is made from material that you know is worry-free and easy-to-clean. Mohawk Flooring, for example, offers just such a product.

“Made out of triexta, a greener, more eco-friendly fiber, this fiber is the easiest to clean because it repels and prevents spills from absorbing into the carpet,” says Duncan. “Thus, it cannot become a stain.”

Mohawk says it has tried to minimize its usage of natural resources, which in turn has enabled the company to reduce its energy consumption of its carpets while creating a fiber that is long-lasting, and resistant to the toughest stains. Top that off with a carpet that can be easily cleaned with water and mild detergent — no harsh chemicals or cleaners needed — and you have a much more environmentally friendly flooring option.

For all the parents and pet lovers out there, know this: It’s just a matter of time before gravity forces an unwanted mess onto one of your floors. And when it happens, you’ll surely rest easier knowing that it’ll be easy to clean.
