What do you think of nylon carpet?
Nylon carpet tends to be more resilient than other fibers, such as polyester or olefin (polypropylene). That means it will bounce back better when you move a piece of furniture, and won't wear down as quickly in traffic areas. It's also much more stain resistant than polyester. Look at the color swatches while shopping for carpet. Notice which fiber has a more brilliant array of colors available - polyester, right? That's because poly takes a dye much better than nylon. (Hence, it will absorb and hold stains better, too!) If you must shop for polyester, then be sure to look for those which have been treated to be stain-resistant. Watch the warranties. Olefin is more stain-resistant than nylon, but tends to feel scratchy while nylon is softer.
