Naperville residents have a big decision to make, when it’s time to buy new carpet. You have a few main fiber selections to choose from. The one you pick, can come down to your budget. The big three carpet fibers are nylon, polyester, and olefin. They each have their own unique characteristics.

Whatever carpet you pick, the fiber type will determine the results of your cleaning. Nylon carpets are king for cleaning. Next come, olefin and polyester.

Nylon carpets have the ability to spring back to their original state. If you had to pick one carpet type for your home, in most instaces, it would be nylon. Nylon can be stained permanantly by pet urine and artificial dyes.

Carpets made from polyester won’t lose their color. They are sometimes made from recycled plastics which is great for the environment. Once polyester carpets get crused by heavy foot traffic they will never retain their original appearance.

One of the main reasons people buy olefin carpet is it’s ability to resist staining. Olefin isn’t affected by direct sunlight. Olefin will crush and never re-gain it’s original look, even after a professional cleaning you are more than likely to see areas that have a dull look to them.

Before selecting a carpet fiber, make sure to do your homework. Selecting the proper carpet will give you years of trouble free use.
