Shaw Carpets Review and Rating

When setting out to buy a carpet, it is like anything else when it comes to shopping. You are quickly overwhelmed with the volume of choices between brands you have to make. Which brands are the best in terms of durability, warranty, and stain resistance?

Choosing a brand of carpet to buy can be an overwhelming task. It’s not like carpet manufacturers advertise on television much so it’s hard to identify with a brand name. But there are many choices out there and the challenge is to find the best carpet that suits your requirements in terms of durability, resistance to staining, and the type of warranty. The Shaw carpet is just one of those brands. The intent of this article is to provide you with information on the Shaw brand so you can make your personal choice. This article does not attempt to prove or disprove the features advertised by Shaw.

Shaw claims that its carpeting has many innovations when it comes to features such as softness, durability, and resistance. Shaw carpeting is a good value for the money and their carpet fibers are tough but not at the expense of softness. Two attributes unique to Shaw are the cleaning solution R2X and the SoftBac® backing system.

You need to understand a stain remover and its potential effects on a carpet brand you buy before you use it. By not doing so, you could actually cause more damage than the spot itself. Shaw’s spot cleaner is known as the R2X stain and soil remover. This stain and soil remover is stamped with the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and is known to be highly effective.

The R2X solution addresses the problem typically found in detergent-based cleaners in that they leave a residue after drying that can actually draw more stains. This can quickly cause the original spot to reappear and reappear even quicker than before. The R2X cleaners do not leave detergent residue. Actually, you don’t even have to rinse the R2X cleaner because it has a chemical that retreats the carpet after it cleans the spot.

Shaw carpeting has the feature of the SoftBac® Platinum backing system. This backing system is part of Shaw Carpet’s No Pull/No Run/No Edge Ravel Warrant that was announced on Jan 24, 2006. This warranty guarantees that any Shaw Carpet backed with the SoftBac® Platinum backing systems is protected from runs, edge unraveling, and pulling for either seven years or ten years depending on the carpet type. For Shaw’s 4-Star rated products it is seven years and ten years for it 5-Star rated products. All this is in addition to Shaw’s No-Wrinkle Guarantee.

So give Shaw carpeting a good look. They seem to have very good cleaning products and guarantees to keep your carpet looking like new for many years.
