Easy Care
Stain Resistance in Modern Carpets
Modern carpets are designed with stain resistance in mind, making them more practical for busy households and commercial environments. Advances in fibre technology and protective treatments help prevent spills from soaking in, giving you extra time to clean up accidents. This makes carpet a more durable option in areas where food, drinks or heavy use could otherwise shorten its lifespan.
Different fibres provide varying levels of stain protection. Nylon and triexta carpets are often recommended for their ability to resist common household stains while maintaining their colour. Carpet tiles also provide a smart solution, as stained sections can be replaced without the need to re-lay an entire floor. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning help maximise the effectiveness of stain-resistant technology, keeping carpets looking fresher for longer. With these improvements, modern carpets offer both comfort and easy maintenance, giving you confidence in their everyday performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does carpet feel compared to other flooring underfoot?
Carpet is softer and warmer underfoot than hard surfaces such as timber, tile or vinyl. It cushions each step, creating a comfortable surface that reduces strain on joints. This makes it particularly appealing in bedrooms and living rooms where comfort is prioritised. The choice of underlay can further enhance softness and warmth, making carpet feel even more luxurious compared to other flooring types.
Do certain carpet fibres wear out faster than others?
Yes, fibre type plays a big role in carpet lifespan. Polyester carpets tend to flatten more quickly under heavy use, making them less durable in high-traffic areas. Wool and nylon, on the other hand, are highly resilient and bounce back well from pressure. Triexta is another fibre known for both strength and stain resistance, offering durability similar to nylon with added softness.
Are certain carpets more resistant to pet hair and odours?
Yes, some carpets are better suited to homes with pets. Low-pile or loop carpets resist trapping hair, making cleaning easier. Nylon and triexta fibres are particularly good at resisting odours and stains compared to wool or polyester. Carpets treated with stain- and odour-resistant coatings can also help manage pet-related mess, while regular cleaning and vacuuming are essential to keep surfaces fresh.
