Best carpet for kids and pets

Published: April 7, 2016

If you’ve got kids or pets, you know that keeping your carpet clean is a constant challenge. You want carpet for all its benefits – it’s affordable, comfortable, and looks great. The challenge is keeping it looking great after it’s been lived with for a while.

No need to worry about the carpet even with kids & a dog relaxing in their family room.


When busy families stop by our Indianapolis flooring store, one of our top recommendations are carpets that take advantage of the strongest stain and wear protection available. Carpets like Stainmaster Active Family carpet or SmartStrand from Mohawk.

STAINMASTER® Active Family® carpet

Manufactured with high-quality materials and built to demanding performance specifications, STAINMASTER® Active Family® carpet is perfect for the family who wants nice carpet that is durable enough to handle an active lifestyle.

SmartStrand Forever Clean

SmartStrand Forever Clean is the only carpet that lets you have it all—unbeatable spill protection, permanent stain resistance, long-lasting durability, and so much more.

  • 0% moisture absorption to eliminate pet odors in the carpet fiber
  • Nanoloc™ spill and soil shield for quick and easy cleanup
  • 3X easier to clean dirt, hair, and pet dander
