Berber carpet can be an excellent choice for high traffic areas in your home. Due to its’ tight loop design it can be more economical to manufacturer and a good value both in price and durability. The tight construction can help to keep spills on the surface where they can be quickly and easily cleaned up. The fleck coloring that is popular in Berber is great for hiding soiling and minor stains.
Berber does not have the “soft hand” of many cut pile carpets but it truly wears like iron so in many areas of the home it is very popular.
Many Berbers are made of Olefin fiber. Olefin is less expensive than nylon but is a solution dyed fiber so it is very resistant to permanent staining. The trade-off is olefin likes oil so grime tracked in from a garage can readily attach to the fibers. A note here; if you have an olefin carpet don’t bother purchasing a carpet protectant if offered by your carpet cleaning company. A carpet protectant will do little to resist soiling issues with olefin and nothing at all for stain issues.
Professional carpet cleaning is important with berber carpet. Because it hides soil so well it can easily trap enough grit to do real damage to the fibers and still not “look” like it needs to be cleaned. Professional, deep cleaning will aid in keeping the carpet looking great and not developing dingy, grey traffic areas.
