Our carpets can take the abuse of tracked-in snow, the wear of work boots, and the spills of a busy family. These are commercial-grade rugs! Two soil lifting properties are added during the manufacturing process which helps the yarn shed soil. This means that the yarn is difficult to wet which makes cleaning your rugs an easy task. Unlike wool and other cotton yarns, nylon is naturally moisture resistant and resists mold, mildew, and insects. This natural moisture barrier also resists microbes, allergens, and the formation of bacteria, which means your rugs will stay healthy just as long as you do.
