What a fun-filled weekend it was! We attended the 43rd Annual Art and Pumpkin Festival at Half Moon Bay which is an event to celebrate a bountiful fall harvest. It was indeed a day to savor the splendor of autumn colors and a chance to witness the special display of gigantically enormous/heavyweight champion pumpkins.
There were shops all over selling different kind of crafts and stuff, there was also live music and performances and most especially the much talked about License To Spill Carpet Showdown by Mohawk Flooring, (Mohawk is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer, selling its beautiful flooring products through retail partners).
SmartStrand by Mohawk Flooring is a revolutionary carpet. It has permanent stain and soil resistance that will never wear off. Most of the carpets in the market have stain and soil treatments which are just applied topically to the fiber which wears off over time, due to the normal wear & tear and continuous foot traffic. This in effect, leaves ordinary carpets looking dirty and worn out sooner than expected.
We have just moved into our new home four months ago, one of the major chores I do regularly (3 times a week) and constitute a bulk of my cleaning time is our carpet! You would know what I am talking about if you have a kid at home especially an active toddler like mine. Almost always, I would find bits and pieces of food from the carpeting. As much as I want to maintain a stain resistant carpet at home, it is impossible. With SmartStrand, you don’t have to worry about that. For as long as you have the carpet, it will have stain protection because it is built into the carpet fiber itself.
During the showdown, there's an activity called the Monster Mash made by the Better TV Crew, where kids were given the chance to do the "messing" with SmartStrand just like what usually happens at home. I can say IT IS a housewife's dreaded nightmare, a grubby carpet! Afterwards, it was cleaned with just mild soap and water. I can't believe what my eyes had seen because the dirty carpet came back to life!
SmartStrand is extremely easy to clean and actually rated #1 in consumer satisfaction. Dreaded stains such as ketchup, wine, etc. (name it!) will easily clean off a SmartStrand carpet with just some water and mild detergent like dish soap. There's no need to use those harsh chemicals or the fuming carpet cleaners to attain a clean soft carpet.
One of the highlights of the License to Spill Carpet Showdown is the presence of some well known people who have nothing but praises for SmartStrand carpet : Samantha Harris, host of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire and co-host of Dancing the Stars plus Chip Wade, Host, Designer and Contractor of HGTV's Elbow Room.
If not for the unexpected traffic (in which we were stuck for at least 2.5 hours) and the scarcity of a decent parking space due to the high volume of people, I could have tasted Chef Ryan Scott's (Bravo’s “Top Chef”, Host of “Food Rush” on the Live Well Network) famous sloppy joes. But nonetheless, I was still amazed and overwhelmed with everything that I have seen that day, the SmartStrand demo, the celebrities and the festival itself.

Wow I really need one of those rugs due to the amount of traffic from the kids and their friends in and out all day.
