Types of carpet fibers
Nylon, olefin, wool, polyester, acrylic
Not every carpet fiber is made the same – some are more resilient than others, while some are tougher against stains and spills. Maintaining your carpet is fairly easy – clean up spills quickly and vacuum often, so dirt and pollen doesn’t get ground into the carpet causing damage. Many flooring manufacturers offer environmentally friendly carpeting, so if this is something you are interested in, ask us to see a sample. Depending on your personal preference, each carpet has a different look and feel.
