I actually came across some excellent reviews for a carpet that HD started carrying in July that destroys odors. One person said that they got a sample and wanted to test how well it got stains out and marked on it with a permanent marker. They cleaned it per the instructions with one part water and one part bleach and the marker came out without fading the color! Something about the color in the nylon fibers is chemically bonded instead of them being dipped in dye.
Another person said that the only down side of the carpet was that it got rid of smells so much that it actually got rid of the good smells too like scented candles.
Here is one article that I found: TY: Smelly Carpets, Meet Silver Ions - Puresque
If it's as good as everyone is saying then this might be our answer. When we go to HD we are going to check the price of this carpet and get some estimates on the laminate too. If we can afford the install on the laminate then that's the one we are going with but this carpet might be a good alternative if the install is only $139 plus the extras.
Thanks so much for your help  |
Home Depot is VERY expensive for instalation...due to the current economic status I would almost gaurantee that if you looked or placed an ad on Craigslist, you would probally get some unemployed carpenter or even flooring person to do it at less then half that cost... seriously my ex husband although still working has lost most of his overtime, he used to do carpet and floor instalation when we were married several years ago.. he has since began to do it on the side for a few extra bucks... Lamenate flooring can be purhased on line and delivered to your home at a cheaper price then Home Depot and My bet is you can deffinatly find someone cheaper... please consider this option before going with carpet.
