The most straight forward video about carpet! I'm not trying to engineer carpet I just want good information before talking to a sales person so I have a clue. Thank you.
I wish the guy in the flooring store I was in yesterday would have done this instead of just immediately trying to sell me the stuff that he has loads of sitting in the back 🙄
I agree with some of this, but definitely not all of it. I've been a pro carpet cleaner since 1987 and I see most of these carpets after they've actually been down for 20 and even 30 years. I agree wool is the best but definitely not for everybody and you have to be very careful about stain removal. One wrong stain product can ruin these expensive carpets pretty quick. Also, I think polypropylene is ideal for some of my customers and I also have seen it in rentals after 15 or 20 years with severe abuse, but they still clean up very well. For the overall general customer nylon is my number 1 pick for wear and resilience although wool is also very resilient. Some of these carpets do not do well in homes with dogs especially those that are not house-trained. Both wool and nylon are not generally good for dog owners who can't control their dogs properly. I've seen EXTREME damage caused by dogs quite a few times, particularly on wool and nylon. The same goes for area rugs made from these fibers.
Polyester wears and matts, It’s cheap but doesn’t last! Nylon wears great and is less expensive then wool, Get nylon in a cut/loop and you will get a lot of years and performance!
Thank you for watching.👍. Smart strand in general is the most stain resistant carpet on the market. Smart strand Silk is the most stain resistant and softest of all fibers. You bought a great carpet! Also Karastan is a great brand. It’s Mohawks top of the line.
You're the first person I've seen who's rated Triexta below Nylon 6 or in most cases 6,6. You even said it yourself, it's the softest, it's the most stain resistant, and the most resilient. The only con was you can see the traffic. I don't understand why it's below Nylon.

Anso High Performance PET. Delta shape extrusion, six twists per inch heat set. Basically Stain and Bleach proof, made to spec of Original Armstrong Anything Goes delta shape extrusion 6.6 nylon. Technology has moved the needle.
I prefer the latter of the unmentioned options which many of my brothers and sisters rely on to last till the end of time regardless the wear or tear and DOES NOT show stains or require any maintenance for the entirety of its use whether that be years, decades or even millennia…it’s probably the best kept secret in the industry and they don’t want you to know because it’ll just cut into their profits. But the most commonly used flooring especially in the exclusive far-east regions of the world that I’m referring to is..dirt. Kids love it, animals deficate freely in it and heck folks will always enter as well as leave your home commenting on the uniqueness of this aspect of flooring. The only foreseeable downside is getting it wet at which point it’s now referred to as mud but just avoid it for 2-3 days and it will (yep you guessed it) return to its normal solidified state at which point the whole family is welcome to once again roll around on it. 😀 👍
bro is that a 2-tone daytona no wonder it requires a new mortgage on my house to get carpet installed. ill be honest with you that is a really bad look bro.
You need to take textile classes to explain it better. You have an idea but still not explaining it correctly. You sound like you kinda know but its best to get some education and youll notice education =knowledge

This is great! Very helpful for consumers remodeling or just updating.
Thanks Toni! You are awesome!😊👍
I bought a polyester carpet recently and I really hate the sandpaper like sound it makes in socks. Is nylon any better?
Whats best carpet pad for on concrete floor
This is nine months later, what did you use for pad? I am learning to not go with particle pad. To use a memory foam pad.
I love it! Thanks for your help Mike!😃
Polyester wears and matts,
It’s cheap but doesn’t last!
Nylon wears great and is less expensive then wool,
Get nylon in a cut/loop and you will get a lot of years and performance!
