Or make a selection of a textured carpet with various loops and cut-loop patterns. Textured carpets are an elegant choice and will not show any traffic patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"best carpet to stop tracking\" class=\"wp-image-6924 lazyload\" width=\"402\" height=\"268\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/textured-carpet-does-not-show-tracking-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 402px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 402\/268;\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a multi-colored carpet like a frieze that has different color fibers twisted together.&nbsp; So, when the fiber is laying down, it shows less of the shade variance and more of the color selection.&nbsp; Another thing to remember when choosing the color of your new carpet, lighter colors show less tracking than dark colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another great option is to make sure you choose a low-cut pile with a dense weight.&nbsp; The higher the weight of the carpet, the more fibers that are packed into a small area.&nbsp; This higher density of fibers will be less likely to crush or lay down when walked on.&nbsp; If it is a shorter length cut fiber, it will not have room to bend like a longer, more plush carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"light colored carpet shows less tracking\" class=\"wp-image-6923 lazyload\" width=\"367\" height=\"245\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/light-carpet-with-vacuum-does-not-show-tracking-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 367px;
