Durable Types of Carpets

In this blog entry, the New Jersey carpet installation experts here at Carpetline will detail some of the most durable carpet materials available on the market today.

Nylon Carpets

Nylon carpets are both durable and comfortable. Nylon is ideal for households with young children as it is stain resistant and very easy to clean. Nylon carpets are very soft and comfortable, making them ideal for children who play on the floor. Nylon carpets are available in a wide range of styles and colors, so it’s easy to find one that matches your existing home decor. When spills happen on nylon carpets, stains can be blotted and  tough stains can be treated with a combination of mild detergent and warm water. The whole area should be rinsed after. When you want to clean the entire nylon carpet, you can vacuum it or have it professionally clean. Nylon carpets can withstand both heavy traffic and regular cleaning. Nylon carpets are a great durable and low maintenance carpet option.

Polyester Carpets

Polyester is a popular carpet material since it’s durable, easy to clean, and stain resistant, making it a great choice for households with pets and children, as spills easily happen in these households. Polyester carpets can be easily cleaned with regular vacuuming and spot cleaning using a mild detergent. Contact a professional carpet cleaning company to fix more intense stains on polyester carpets utilizing their specialty equipment and experience.

Polypropylene Carpets

Polypropylene is created out of durable synthetic fibers that are easy to clean and highly stain resistant. Polypropylene carpets are often treated with special anti microbial substances that prevent mold and mildew growth. Polypropylene carpets are affordable, and ideal for households on a small budget. Polypropylene carpets combine strong durability, affordability, and easy cleaning. The best way to keep polypropylene carpets looking good is to have them professionally cleaned every 13-18 months depending on foot traffic and carpet condition. Vacuum and spot clean the carpet in between professional cleaning, using a vacuum with strong suction. Always test a small hidden part of the carpet when spot cleaning to ensure the cleaner won’t damage the caret color.
