Nylon Carpet

Pure nylon carpets are quite rare- nylon itself is a long-lasting and resilient fibre, plus it is resistant to stains and easy to clean. Nylon carpets can be given the Stainguard treatment which will further increase their lifespan (see the Our Services page of the FAQ). Like wool Nylon reacts badly to alkaline cleaning compounds like bleach, occasionally resulting in loss or fading of colour.
