 Carpet Foot Traffic Test 

By Alan J Fletcher - Carpet Expert and Consumer Advocate

 

Take my free Carpet Foot Traffic Test to help determine what grade of carpet can meet your needs and goals.

This test may help you determine what grade of carpet to select* 

You can't choose new carpet wisely unless you select a carpet that is capable of withstanding your level of foot traffic. I have created a simple test you can take to help you determine your own level of foot traffic based on several critical variables. 

*Disclaimer - This Free Carpet Foot Traffic Test is for entertainment purposes only, use at your own risk. 

 

 Directions:

To determine your Carpet Foot Traffic Score Answer all the following questions carefully and add up your points on a separate piece of paper:

• Each adult                  (add 5 points for each adult)

 

2. Do you have children, teenagers or pets?

• Each Child under 13   (add 4 points for each child)

• Each Teenager         (add 6 points for each teen)

• Each Small pet          (add 3 points each small pet)

• Each large pet           (add 6 points each large pet)

 

3. Do you entertain or have grandchildren?

• Entertain often                        (add 6 points)

• Grandchildren seldom            (add 2 points)

• Grandchildren often                (add 4 points)

 

4. How often do you vacuum thoroughly?

• Twice a week                          (add  3 points)

• Three times a week                 (add  1 points)

• Everyday                                 (add  0 points)

 

5. How often do you have your carpets professionally cleaned?

• Once a year                          (add 2 points)

• Every other year                   (add 0 points)

• Every third year                    (add 4 points)

• Never                                    (add  25 points)
