Durable and easiest to maintain carpet?

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I was thinking of replacing the carpet in the bedrooms with tile or a very durable, very hard hardwood, but the expense plus the fact that I would still want to put area rugs down over it, makes me think it won't be worth it. So, I'm considering replacing the old carpet with new carpet.


The existing carpet has held up decently after 10 years, but that's mostly because it has been babied with runners, rugs, taking shoes off and frequent professional cleanings.


I want a cleaner look without any rugs and runners needed to protect the traffic areas and cause a trip hazard. What is the most durable, stain resistant and easy to clean carpet/pad that I don't need to baby to protect from damage and have professional cleaners come in twice a year to maintain the warranty and prevent stains? I'm thinking of something like the Shaw Lifegaud or else some kind of commercial quality carpet with waterproof padding.

Ideally, something that would keep clean with a very lightweight stick vacuum cleaner or even a Roomba-type device for the ease of maintenance.
