NEW MONMOUTH, N.J., Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Football and soccer cleats, instrument cases and leaking pens, the hustle and bustle of a busy family with kids and pets and friends: These are the realities of the back-to-school rush every fall, and they take their toll on a home's floors. This year, SMART Carpet and Flooring has suggestions for repairing the damage--and making sure floors stay beautiful all through the school year.

"The floors take the brunt of the activity in a home all year round, but when the kids head back to school, life just seems to get a little more hectic for many families," said SMART Carpet and Flooring President Brendan Phillips. "Flooring tends to get overlooked when kids and parents are pulled in a million different directions, so it's important to have flooring that can stand up to the wear and tear."

To that end, SMART Carpet and Flooring recommends two popular and particularly durable flooring options: Shaw® Satisfaction carpet and Shaw® Bellingham solid hardwood plank floors.

Shaw Satisfaction carpet carries 10-year quality assurance and stain resistance warranties, along with a 15-year soil resistance warranty. The 100% polyester fibers will stand up to whatever a family and pets can throw at it, and with 24 colors to choose from, homeowners are sure to find one that works with their décor.

For its part, at 3¼" wide and ¾" thick, Shaw Bellingham natural hardwood flooring is a stout and tough flooring choice that's beautiful enough to showcase any room. Thanks to Shaw's patented ScufResist™ Platinum finish, Bellingham floors will stay lustrous year after year. Bellingham is available in seven different finishes ranging from a weathered gray to a natural red oak finish.

SMART Carpet and Flooring got its start more than two decades ago in New Jersey, when Phillips began showing flooring samples directly in customers' homes.
