Have you ever thought about what happens to your old carpet after it leaves your home? Typically when carpet is removed from a job site it gets thrown into a dumpster and eventually hauled to a landfill. Over 9 billion pounds of new carpet is purchased every year and about 6 billion pounds of carpet ends up in landfills every year.

With the CLEAR program most of the carpet and pad that is removed from the job site is taken by our recycling partners and reincarnated into things you encounter in your daily life such as picnic tables, car parts, park benches, and other consumer products. The pad that is removed is recycled and processed into new pad.

At Home Carpet One, we know that every effort counts. When you purchase new carpet and pad from Home Carpet One for your Chicago home you now can take comfort that if it all possible, it won’t find its way to a landfill.

When choosing an area rug for your space, you’ll have various fibers and countless textures and patterns to choose from, so finding the perfect rug for your space is easier than ever. Color and design are the first things people tend to notice, but you should also consider the feel of the rug, and the location where it will go in your home. For example, an area rug for a front foyer will get lots of traffic, so you’ll want to choose a sturdy material in a color that will resist stains and hide dirt between cleanings. On the other hand, an area rug in the bedroom should be soft because you’ll undoubtedly walk on it with bare feet.

Area rugs are useful design tools because they can divide rooms into separate functional spaces. For example, a large open room can be split into an entertainment area and a formal living room, or a kids play area and an adult lounge. If you rent an apartment, area rugs can really make the space feel like a custom home designed just for you. You may not be able to choose the flooring or even the paint color, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t dictate the style of your space.

As mentioned above, there are several choices for rug materials, but the most popular Chicago area rugs are definitely wool rugs. Wool provides an ideal combination of high durability, natural stain resistance, and quality feel. Best of all, wool rugs are available in just about every style imaginable, from traditional oriental and Persian rugs to contemporary geometric designs and simple monochromatic ones. Finally, wool is an eco-friendly choice because it is a totally renewable resource. Unlike synthetic rugs, which require the use of harsh chemicals and even petroleum products to be made, wool rugs are all natural and long-lasting.

To learn more about the widest selection of Chicago area rugs available, call Home Carpet One at 773-935-9314.

Chicago bamboo owners know that bamboo floors are some of the hardest and most wear-resistant floors available. On the contrary, cork floors provide a warm, cushiony feel beneath the feet. With a suede-like softness and an almost springy insulating effect, cork floors are the top choice of professional chefs who know that long hours on your feet can be tough on the body. Standing on a cork floor is much better for your feet, knees, hips, and back than standing on a hard, unforgiving surface like tile. This is one of the reasons why cork has become such a popular option for kitchen flooring. Cork also provides an easy-to-clean surface like wood or tile, making it the ideal choice for anyone with serious culinary ambitions. Finally, cork offers rich earthy tones and textures, and is available in a wide variety of colors to suit any décor.

So, what makes cork a green choice? The material itself is actually the outer bark of a special kind of oak tree. Stripping the cork from the tree does no harm to the plant, which continues to grow and produce more cork. The tree will be ready for another harvest just nine years later – compare this to the decades it takes for new hardwood trees to grow after a forest has been cleared. Cork trees live for around 200 years in forests that are passed down through generations of families in the cork business. During its lifetime, a single tree can produce more than 16 crops of cork. After being harvested from the tree, cork strips are cured, boiled, and pressed in a relatively straightforward process that does not use harsh chemicals. Because cork is a composite material, scraps are collected and used in a later batch, so there is very little waste.

Both bamboo and cork flooring provide great looks and durable quality, though each material has its own distinctive look and feel. If you’re interested in learning more about eco-friendly flooring products, call Home Carpet One – the number one Chicago bamboo and cork flooring provider – at 773-935-9314.

Rapid resoiling is a culprit, caused by residue from shampoo, dry foam, powders, and bonnet cleaning methods. Inferior cleaning methods only push stains in deeper into the fiber, causing them to resurface. Also, carpet tends to collect dirt merely because dirt and soil hide in the pile. If a hardwood or tile floor is dirty, it usually demands immediate attention. Carpets, on the other hand, are often neglected for longer period of time, giving dirt particles time to cause abrasion to fibers. This damage is then magnified by light refraction, causing the dull, worn-out appearance that manifests in high-traffic lanes throughout carpeted spaces.

We encourage all of our Chicago commercial carpet customers to vacuum regularly. The simple act of vacuuming (using a quality upright vacuum cleaner with a reel-type brush) can remove 80% of the soil in most carpets. The brush is important as it moves the tips of the pile, allowing dry particulate matter to be knocked loose and sucked away. The best technique is to slowly vacuum back and forth in one direction until the rug appears clean. Then, do the same motion in the perpendicular direction. New carpet will lose a significant amount of loose fiber, but this is normal. Frequent vacuuming does not harm the pile of Home Carpet One’s Chicago commercial carpet products.

If you’re in charge of the cleaning in a commercial space, you may think you can save money by having your carpets vacuumed less often. In fact, you’ll save money in the long-run if your carpets are vacuumed frequently, because the carpet will last much longer if properly cared for. There are many professional carpet cleaning services offered in the Chicago area, and your Home Carpet One representative can help you determine what kind of service will work best with the carpets you choose. Call Home Carpet One at 773-2935-9314 for more information.

One of the most important things to understand about carpet is that most carpets are made of one of four primary fibers: wool, nylon, polypropylene (also called olefin) and wool blends. These fibers are fine, thread-like materials that are made into a yarn and then woven or tufted into the carpet textiles that you see everywhere. Understanding the differences between these main types of fibers is key to knowing which kind of carpet is right for you.

The most popular choice for residential Chicago carpet is wool. Wool carpet is naturally durable and long-lasting, thanks to the unique protein structures of the sheep hair that makes up the fibers. Wool carpeting is an environmentally-friendly choice that is

non-allergenic and its natural properties provide inherent fire resistance, air purification and moisture control, creating an exceptionally safe and healthy indoor environment.  The options for color, pattern, and texture are limitless with wool.

Another popular fiber is Nylon, which was first introduced in 1938 by the prolific materials science company DuPont. A petrochemical synthetic fiber made from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, nylon has excellent soil-resistant properties, especially when a special stain-resisting treatment has been applied. After professional cleaning, nylon carpet can look like new even years down the road, thanks to the unique properties of treated nylon fibers. Many Chicago carpet customers go for a blend of wool and nylon, usually composed of roughly 80 percent of the former and 20 percent of the latter. Wool blendes tend to offer the best of both worlds – the superior strength of wool and the superior stain resistance of treated nylon. Other blends may also include polyester or acrylic materials.

Popular since the 1950s, polypropylene or olefin yarns have become the fastest-growing material on the Chicago carpet scene in recent years. These fibers offer good resistance to moisture, stains, and color fading. Polypropylene also represents an exceptional value for commercial or residential carpeting, costing much less than wool in most cases. The yarns are made in a wide variety of deniers, allowing a broad selection of aesthetic options.
