Stainmaster Pet Protect Carpet now available at Milford Flooring!
STAINMASTER® PetProtect® carpet has built-in stain resistance that won’t wash off. It is made from SuperiaSD™ fiber, a solution dyed nylon 6,6 polymer engineered with inherent stain resistance and built-in color that resists fading. So when accidents happen, you can use hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners without fear.
Reduce Pet Odors
Sometimes accidents happen, and time may pass before they’re discovered. But when you purchase the STAINMASTER® PetProtect® carpet & cushion system, you’re armed with a breathable moisture barrier on the STAINMASTER® carpet cushion that helps prevent spills from penetrating the padding and subfloor, allowing for more thorough cleaning which reduces lingering odors. To realize this benefit, you must purchase STAINMASTER® carpet cushion.
Releases Pet Hair
STAINMASTER® PetProtect® carpet uses proprietary technologies and chemistries applied to the carpet that reduce the force of attraction between pet hair and the carpet, allowing the hair to be more easily removed with normal vacuuming. And anyone with a German shepherd can tell you that’s a breakthrough.
Oh yeah, and did you know that STAINMASTER® PetProtect® is the Official Carpet Sponsor of the ASPCA®?
One of the less glamorous topics about carpet is the pad that goes underneath. You can spend a fortune on a quality fiber and dense carpet, but without the right pad, any carpet will wear more quickly, and increase the chance that your seams will separate. Pad acts essentially as a shock absorber – it cushions the impact of walking across or moving items across your carpet. A carpet with pad cleans better, helps absorb sound and provides a layer of insulation.

Maine Traditions Flooring – American and Canadian hardwood flooring – Maine Traditions Notice of CARB 2 Compliance 3-5-2015
Live-sawing is actually the oldest, most traditional method of cutting lumber, but its popularity waned about a century ago. At last, Maine Traditions has revived this time-tested sawing technique for the introduction of our Live-Sawn Rangeley Collection. The rough lumber used to create the Rangeley Collection is parallel cut in the traditional “live-sawn” method used in past centuries. In simple terms, when we live-saw a log, we start at one side, and work our way through to the other. This results in a natural mix of boards–plain sawn first, then rift sawn, and quarter sawn boards from nearest the middle of the log. The Rangeley Collection of Live-Sawn Red Oak flooring features a wire-brushed face which lends subtle texture and depth, leaving the impression that the flooring has gently weathered over the years. And to further enhance these handsome floors, we have applied our proprietary Nano PLUS Matte UV finish. Fitting into almost any décor – a rustic lodge cottage, a modern kitchen, or nearly any application that calls for a truly distinctive look – these handsome floors lend themselves to casual, livable homes, old house restorations and even the most contemporary homes.
And most of Maine Traditions Red Oak is now milled in its new Tamworth, NH location. Talk about shopping local!
