Let’s be honest, kids do not need a “License to Spill” especially on carpet. Let me give you an example – yesterday if you came to my house around 10am I would have been on my hands and knees scrubbing the hell out of our living room carpet. What to guess what I was scrubbing? No, not wine. Nope not mustard. Ha not even mud. It was poop…yes poop. Thank you Teagan! Oy! What I wouldn’t give to have SmartStrand carpet and rugs in our home.
I first heard about Mohawk SmartStrand Carpet at one of Denver’s biggest festivals, The Taste of Colorado. What really drew me into this product was what HGTV’s Chuck Nice started demoing to my family. {By the way…such a nice guy!}
He first told Jude to “get messy!” Jude was excited about that. Jude was able to squirt BLUE Gatorade with added blue food coloring on to the sample of SmartStrand carpet. Next he added some RED wine and Soy sauce. Yikes!! All while he was doing this we kept saying “but not on mommy’s carpet at home right Jude?!”
During the demo I found out some great information about SmartStrand by Mohawk Flooring. SmartStrand has a permanet stain and soil resistance that will never wear off. Other “resistant” carpet brands will not hold the resistance like SmartStrand does. SOLD! For as long as you have the carpet , it will have the stain protection because the protection is built into the carpet fiber itself. Not to mention the carpet is SOOO soft. I loved the feel of it.
Chuck really had us laughing during his demo with Jude. I think Jude really had fun. Here is a short video of my son spraying RED WINE…only for a second though. Thanks Chuck! 😉 haha!
Another awesome thing about SmartStrand is the varity of colors and textures they offer. You don’t just have to settle on boring carpet to get the SmartStrand. Check these out. My favorite is the first one. Totally adding “NEW CARPET” to our honey do list!!
So Jude made a mess…now what Chuck??
Who hates chemicals around their family? I am guessing most every parent in the world is raising their hand. Yeah, me too! But with SmartStrand you do not need those harsh chemicals anymore. All you need is a rag, warm water and mild detergent.
Jude and Chuck didn’t have to work hard at all to get these tough stains out. Ketchup, Kool-Aid, wine, soy sauce…even MUSTARD! There is a reason why this carpet is rated #1 in consumer satisfaction. Tell me what is your carpet horror story? Mine is diet soda…well and now the poop. Now if only we had SmartStrand!!
Not only were we excited to make a mess and get our License to Spill {Jude especially…he had to do it twice!} but we also had a treat from a well known local diner. Sam’s No 3 brought us yummy smothered green chili breakfast burritos! If you are ever visiting downtown Denver I seriously suggest stopping into Sam’s No. 3. You will not regret the stop.
Oh and I heard that Chuck actually “spilled” Sam’s No. 3 Green Chili on one of the carpet samples…guess what? It all came out with just water and no work. Nice job Chuck!
The hubby certainly enjoyed the celebrity sighting and had to have a photo op with Mr. Chuck Nice. Not every day you get you hang out and make a mess with a TV star and comedian.
We had to pull Jude away from the fun just to go and enjoy the rest of the festival. In fact, there was talk about Jude being Mohawk Flooring youngest intern. He certainly knows how to make a mess so it would benefit Mohawk for sure! 😉
Thank you Mohawk for hanging with us and giving us our License to Spill. We had a great time shopping for carpet and learning exactly what we want in our home soon!

The worst carpet story so far is red wine…though with a 2 year old running around it's only a matter of time. This carpet needs to appear in my house ASAP. #client
