How to choose a carpet Consumers should not assume salespeople are correct in the information they relate. Many times they are trying to sell the products under their charge in order to make a living. It’s the responsibility of the consumer to examine the good and bad qualities of all makes and models available on the market. Before deciding on a particular fiber for your new carpet, ask yourself these questions. 1. Is the carpet resilient? 2. Are the tufts firmly bound? 3. Will the backing wear well? 4. Is the pile dense enough to assure long wear? 5. Will the carpet withstand abrasion? 6. Is it colorfast to sunlight? 7. Will it shed or pill excessively? 8. How will it respond to cleaning? 9. What about stain removal? 10. Does it meet government flammability standards? Each fiber used in carpeting has its own characteristics. Compare all the fibers before making a definite choice. Nylon has excellent abrasive resistance. Carpets made of 100 per cent nylon will have a shiny appearance. In some instances, they appear to sparkle. Mold and mildew are no problem with nylon. Nylon is known as the scavenger of fibers. It collects colors and stains. The resiliency of nylon isn’t as good as wool. Pills will form on the surface and won’t work off. Removal of pills is difficult. Static electricity is also a problem with nylon. Static electricity collects and holds dirt on the fibers causing the. carpet to dull and gray in appearance. Direct sunlight weakens nylon. The resiliency of wool is excellent. The natural bulkiness of wool is good. This quality allows the fibers to cover a broader area. Wool has good resistance to abrasive wear. It can be dyed many colors. Fuzz that forms on the surface of the carpet will wear off and is easily removed. Soiling is not a problem with wool. The main disadvantage with wool is the cost. It’s very expensive. Wool must be mothproofed once a year. Stains penetrate wool because it absorbs moisture readily. If wool gets wet or damp it can mildew, rot andor shrink. Worsted wool is best for carpets but it’s ex-

tremely expensive. Acrylic carpets were developed to look and feel like wool but they cost much less. Therefore, it has all the advantages of wool, plus it will gotten wet. A problem with acrylics is the buildup of static electricity. Acrylics are advertised to resist staining. This is true of watery stains, but oily stains are problems. Polyesters are becoming popular for carpets. They have good resistance to abrasive wear. The resiliency is good and they are available in many colors. Static electricity builds up in polyesters and collects dry soil. Oils are a real problem with polyesters. Polyester carpets are priced about the same as nylon.
