Carpet Fiber Types

Okay, let’s get into the technical aspects of carpet. Put on your lab coat and get ready: we’re getting scientific. 

When you’re looking to buy carpet, you’ll choose between nylon, polyester, and olefin. Each fiber works best for different environments, and some even have alternative chemical names! 

This can get confusing, so let me help you out: 

Nylon Carpet Fibers  
Nylon is what changed the carpet industry for good. Even today, nylon remains the most popular fiber of choice. 

Nylon is highly durable, static-free, and a great fiber for indoor carpets. Nylon is usually treated with a stain blocking technology that helps it stay beautiful, longer. 

Consider Stainmaster as the protector for your carpet. It makes the staining liquid stay on the surface of the carpet so you can easily clean it up.
