Carpet stain resistance is a big issue, especially if you have kids or pets. Fiber choice is the most crucial decision you’ll make.
Luckily, most carpets today have extra stain resistance and durability. Here are some options you may want to pursue.
Non-absorbent fibers
These include polyester and olefin/polypropylene. Here, the stain resistance is almost inherent because there are no dye pockets. A dye pocket is a cell. Spills attach themselves and create stains.
All residential carpets on the market today feature some stain protection. This prevents spills from setting in and becoming stains. Your carpet in Peoria, AZ, will have even greater stain protection.
By the way, polyester rugs are best for floors in moderately busy rooms. On the other hand, Olefin/polypropylene fibers are mainly associated with Berbers and level loops, suitable for any level of foot traffic.
Solution-dyed nylon or polyester
Typically, carpeting is manufactured first, with the dye applied to the final product. However, it’s precisely the opposite with solution dyed. The dye is applied during manufacturing, thereby “locking” the color into the product.
It’s permanent and cannot fade. Most importantly, spills can’t attach and create stains. We have a lot of Solution Dyed in our carpet store. Pure Color Soft Solution ™ Dyed BCF, EnVision Nylon, and EnVision SD ™ Pet Solutions are other good choices.

Carpets also reduce noise, insulate temperature and provide cushioning for safety and hard falls. It also improves indoor air quality by trapping pollutants into fibers, removing them from the breathing zone.
