Berber carpet is a modern day 'shag' carpet. The original shag carpets were easy to snag, pull and catch things on. Berber carpet is strong, durable and modern carpets also offer stain repellent.

How does the type of carpet you have affect the sevierness of a carpet stain?

It all depends on the cut of the carpet. For example, a frieze (short shag)is somewhat curly, and hides spots more efficiently. Berber (looped carpet) actually resists spots and stains, because the tips of the fibers are not open, so it takes much longer for a liquid to soak in. Plush, while the most common carpet seen in apartments and homes, is a cut pile, so it doesn't naturally resist spotting like berber, and all of the strands are the same length, so it doesn't have the camouflage effect like frieze.
