Buying the right color and style is easier once there's an understanding of contemporary fashions and the characteristics of different types of carpet. Consider manufacturer's warranty, personal taste and lifestyle. Mohawk sells a number of collections to meet the needs, preferences and budget considerations of your home and family.

Mohawk carpet is manufactured from nylon, olefin (also known as polypropylene) and polyester as well as wool. Mohawk has perfected a way to recycle plastic containers made from PET resins (polyethylene terephthalate) into luxury products. The particular characteristics of each type of fiber determines the style of carpet and the colors.

Nylon is popular because of its durability, comfort and ability to hide soil. Polyester is colorfast and resistant to water soluble stains. Polypropylene resists fading and can be used outside. Wool ages well as is easy to clean but is the most expensive. Mohawk P.E.T. fibers are an environmentally friendly alternative without sacrificing high performance or beauty.

Small throw rugs or mats at all entrances will absorb dirt and moisture and keep carpet clean. Move heavy furniture occasionally to prevent permanent marks. Vacuum regularly, changing the direction every now and then to help stand the pile upright and reduce matting.

Spot and stain removal using Mohawk floor cleaning products is an important part of care and maintenance. The hot water extraction method used by professional cleaners is recommended every 12-18 months.

There are many factors that determine how long a carpet will last including the amount of foot traffic, the quality of dye, fiber density and type, twist and how well the carpet has been maintained.

Densely packed fibers, whether synthetic or natural, will last longer and look better particularly where floors get a lot of use like stair treads, hallways and entrances. A tight twist is another important consideration for long wear.

Carpets with ratings of 4.0 and above are excellent and is great on stairs and at entryways while any product with a rating below 2.5 should be installed in areas with light traffic such as bedrooms. Mohawk flooring is also a good choice for a home office.

Carpet is still the most popular floor covering for interior decorating because of its warmth, comfort and affordability. Look for deals on designer styles that are manufactured by well known carpet mills. Take home samples from the local retailer to determine the right choice.

Mohawk carpet brands include: Aladdin, Horizon, WundaWeve and Custom Weave.
