Simply put, it gauges how well your carpet will perform.<br><br>No one wanst carpet that&#8217;ll ugly out in three years, so <strong>carpet performance<\/strong> is important to consider when you start shopping around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Carpet performance rating is affected by three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Product Quality<\/li><li>Installer Experience<\/li><li>Proper Maintenance<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take five minutes and break these down for you. It&#8217;ll make selecting the right carpet for your home a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Carpet Quality and Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got an active home environment with some kids and a dog, you&#8217;ll need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/resources\/best-high-traffic-carpet\/\">high-traffic carpet<\/a> for sure. The last thing you want to do is buy a cheap carpet that&#8217;ll get destroyed in two years time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand how tempting it can be to buy carpet based off price alone, but trust us, it&#8217;ll hurt in the long run. Investing in carpet that will withstand your type of home environment will pay off in the end.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/family-on-soft-carpet.jpg\" alt=\"best performing carpet\" class=\"wp-image-5416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/family-on-soft-carpet.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/family-on-soft-carpet-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/family-on-soft-carpet-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of this way. You&#8217;re not going to buy a sports car when you need a vehicle that has great gas mileage. Why would you buy carpet that does well in low-traffic conditions for your busy and active living room? It doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start looking at high-quality durable carpet from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/prices\/\">trusted carpet brands<\/a> like DreamWeaver and Mohawk. We carry a ton of their products if you&#8217;d like to see some.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Importance of Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Even if you select the most durable carpet on the planet, a novice carpet installer won&#8217;t get you the best performance out of your floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improper installation can lead to a ton of problems and a splitting headache for you and your family. It&#8217;s important for you to hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/\">professional carpet installation company<\/a> that knows what they&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carpet installers on our team know how to handle your project. Whatever needs you have, we&#8217;ll make sure our crews handle it properly. Call us biased, but our installers are some of the best in the business. After all, &#8220;carpet&#8221; is our middle name.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Proper Carpet Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This is where your effort is required in protecting the lifespan of your carpet. Carpet performance stays at an all time high when you maintain it correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to vacuum enough depending on your lifestyle and foot-traffic. Low-traffic rooms can get away with a vacuuming once a week while high-traffic areas will need it once every day or two.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dude-on-carpeting.jpg\" alt=\"what is carpet performance\" class=\"wp-image-5417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dude-on-carpeting.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dude-on-carpeting-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dude-on-carpeting-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you pick up the spill right away to keep it from staining. Remember, always blot at the spill and never rub it. Manufacturers also recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/resources\/benefits-of-professional-carpet-cleaning\/\">professional carpet cleaning<\/a> every 12 to 18 months to maintain your warranties, so be on top of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want all of this wrapped into one package, give The Carpet Guys a call and get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/schedule\/carpet\/\">free carpet estimate<\/a> set up. You&#8217;ll be surprised how easy it is to get new carpet installed when we&#8217;re working with you.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard of a carpet rating scale before?
