NCALR - Carpet

[4furrypaws]

Hey...random post for the day...

Carpet + Pets

We are having our Living/Dining Room and Family Room floors redone. I wanted Hardwood in both but DH really likes carpet for the cozy Family Room...big baby. So. I said if that is the case then I will only get Stainmaster. We have it upstairs in all the bedrooms and I LUUURVE it!! Cat puke --> GONE! It cleans up SO AWESOME!

Stainmaster has this line of PetProtect Carpet. I got samples this weekend and I have picked out one I like and am just waiting for them to come measure so I can officially place the order. It's a little pricey but if I'm getting carpet it's gonna be the good stuff!

So.....Just wondering if anyone has any experience w/ the PetProect line.

I don't, but curious to see what others say (or how it turns out for you guys!). We stripped our main living areas and did ceramic tile and we LOVE it!!! (our next project is to strip the upstairs carpet and have it hardwood) Tile is so much easier to clean and actually less to clean too. I think that carpet is a pet stain magnet LOL! We do have area rugs but we might have had only a handful of "accidents" since laying the tile down 7 yrs ago. Keep us posted!!!

I've been eyeing hardwood for my living room and master, but I'll be curious what others say. My carpet has stains in a couple of places where the dog lays regularly and drools in her sleep.

I am curious too. Our pets don't typically have a lot of accidents, but I would love easy clean up. Unfortunately, our dog has a digging thing. Maybe 2-3 times a year, she finds a spot to dig a hole in the carpet. So, we will probably be considering new carpet sometime soon. We live in a cold weather climate, and I would actually hate to give up most of our carpeting even though I think wood is beautiful.

Good luck!

Ugh I'm sooooo jealous! When h and I bought our house it came with hardwood in the kitchen and living space.... But in the halls and bedrooms there was brand new carpet that didn't have stain master apparently.... And now I need all the carpet ripped up and I just want all new hardwood throughout... But H won't go for that so at some point I'm going to have new carpeting installed. So please, I beg of you, let me know if you do the petProtect line.... So I have choices!

Congrats on new flooring!!

I don't have any carpet indoor but we are just renting right now. With 3 dogs, good flooring will be a priority in 2 years when we do but. I'll be lurking to see what others say.

No experience with that carpet so I can't wait to hear about your experience with it. We have carpet in our bonus room and bedrooms and laminate throughout the rest (previous owner replaced all flooring when they put the house on the market). We are assuming that they did not get great quality and that we will have to replace in a couple years. Now that my big dog is getting older, he has a hard time with hard surface floors and slips a lot so we will stick with carpet in the areas that already have it.

No experience with pets, but just with the mess MH and I make (we're a pretty clumsy couple + we like to have wine-nights with our friends), I'm so grateful our home came with hardwoods...
I would definitely try to sway YH if I was you! :-)

Like I said, the regular Stainmaster we have in the bedrooms has been awesome! It's one of the ones that have a sort of pattern to it. See pict. The cats are up there and it cleans up kitty puke like nothing ever happened! I have high hopes for the PetProtect to clean up well and more! I'm 99.9% sure that is what we will be going with so I'll keep y'all updated!!

I really like that type of carpeting! I had something similar in a condo about 8 years ago. I swear it wore better than the carpet I have now which is a modified short shag style.... I really the carpet I have right now is a SUPER cheap quality carpet because it hasn't worn very well at all.

I'm just in here giggling at the poop emoji's.

Oh, and I ripped out all my carpet and put down wood flooring. MH wants carpet in the bedroom soooo bad but I haven't caved yet. I am interested in this stainmaster stuff.

Loving that carpet pattern!! I don't have any experience with the PetProtect but know peeps who swear by it.

[agpjt413]

@furrypaws - That pattern is gorgeous!! Yes, cat puke is easiest to clean on super low pile type carpet

[imnotfancy]

I love that pattern as well!
