Flooring Tips!

Your Floors done Right and Fast!

If you have room plans, paint chips or color swatches, take them (and the overall dimensions of your room) with you when you shop. To be certain of your room dimensions, you will want to ask your salesperson to take final measurements of your home.

Get samples.

You want to take samples home so you can see how your carpet will look with your décor and your home lighting.

Don't skimp on cushion.

Selecting the right cushion can add years of wear to your carpet. Professional installation will assure you of worry-free enjoyment for as long as you own your carpet. For residential installation, Mohawk recommends a cushion of no more than 7/16” thick and no less than ¼” thick with 6 pounds per cubic square foot of density, or equivalent. We recommend a cushion of 3/8 inch thickness with 8 pounds per cubic foot of density or equivalent for berber (loop) styles.

Care & Cleaning.

Your authorized Mohawk dealer is a specialist who is knowledgeable about cleaning and maintenance to help extend the life of your flooring. Ask about cleaners with the Carpet-Rug Institute Seal of Approval, such as environmentally friendly Mohawk FloorCare Essentials. Proper maintenance of your carpet will extend its lifespan and keep its fresh appearance. You should vacuum regularly, remove spills and provide long-term care and cleaning.
