r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Did I get swindled on pet proof carpet?
December 3, 2021 -

I (supposedly) had pet stain/proof carpet installed about a year ago. Since day one it has nowhere near the quality of resisting stains/odors from my old dog. We try to keep him in a diaper, but that doesn't always work. Every...single...place...where he's had an accident shows even after carpet cleaning. The carpet looks like shit. We'll have to replace it if we ever sell. Not impressed with the quality of it.

Is buying stain proof carpet a swindle or did I get swindled and didn't get pet proof carpet? Is there anyway to tell from pulling up some of the carpet? I mean, the installers showed up and installed it. I assume it was the carpet brand we picked out and paid for but I have no idea if that's what it was 100%. I don't' recall the brand, but could look it up in my files.

Carpet for Pets - The Home Depot Carpet with Petproof Technology
August 18, 2021 - His favorite pastime is digging in my garden bed, chewing up every little tiny figurine the girls have and of course sneaking into bedrooms to roll around on the carpet. Until recently, bedrooms (especially ours since we had just made it over) were off limits to Rudy because dirty paws and carpet don’t work well at all. When I got an invitation to review a new line of Home Depot carpet, their LifeProof carpet that was specifically designed to be “pet proof,” I immediately said yes.

June 22, 2010 - The test in fact is to tape a 2' square of plastic to the floor and check it the next day to see if moisture has formed. Carpet pads, underlayment for laminate floors all are subject to that moisture problem and limit what can actually be used. Hard for the pet pad to allow moisture to pass in one direction and yet block water from moving the other.

What is the best carpet to have when you own cats or dogs? - Quora
Answer (1 of 15): The best carpet, regardless of what the conditions, is 100% nylon. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Nylon is the most durable, highest quality carpet by far. Carpets made of polyester or polypropylene are junk. They wear out incredibly fast.

August 9, 2017 - There would need to be some way to prevent wicking or else the stain proof carpet warranty has little real value. The warranties are also often prorated. So, if the carpet stains or starts showing wear nearer to the end of the coverage period, you get such a small credit toward replacement that you may be better off finding some other carpet on sale for less outside of the warranty. As far as I can tell, Platinum Plus carpet is the only one that has a 25 year warranty that is not prorated.
