The Messiest Kid Contest 2017!

Bockrath Flooring and Rugs was excited to host its first annual “Messiest Kid Contest” on Saturday July 22nd. What a fun event! What is the “Messiest Kid Contest” all about, you ask? It’s quite simple. Karastan SmartStrand is the best carpeting on the market. Its durability and nearly stain resistant qualities make it one of the best carpeting products to utilize in homes with children and pets. We decided to put it to the test by allowing children in our community to come out and have fun making the biggest mess possible on a 12x20 piece of SmartStrand Carpeting. Ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, mud and chocolate syrup were all of the fun products that we allowed these kiddos to use to make an absolute mess of this piece of carpeting! “Give it your best shot”, we said! At the end of the contest, the kiddo who was the messiest won a prize and then the best part of it all…we watched as Stanley Steemer cleaned up this carpet like it was no big deal! This carpet was absolutely destroyed but because this fiber is encapsulated by using nanotechnology, it makes this carpet so easy to clean and nearly stain resistant!

Fun was had by all! With cotton candy, arts and crafts, a mobile theatre and the fire department on hand to hose down these messy kids, we believe that the event was a huge success! With the amazing clean ability documented in the final result pictures shared, SmartStrand is undoubtedly the best product to use for wall to wall carpeting or simply a custom made rug, in our Rug Studio.
