Argolis Carpet & RUG

Getting new carpet or thinking about adding a rug to a room? Wool will always be the #1 fiber I ask my clients to consider for their carpeting or rug needs. I know budget is always a key factor in a final choice BUT you can always consider WOOL BLENDS to cut cost with out compromising the durability, strength, insulating properties and ease of cleaning wool has to offer. When considering a wool blend remember that a BEND-BREAK POINT exists and depending on foot traffic it can be a nightmare and a costly choice.

A single strand of wool fiber can bend 20,000 times before it breaks! This makes wool by far the top choice for durability. Authentic SILK trails behind at 2,000 bends before it breaks. VEGAN silk also known as Viscose, Silkette, Rayon and the very popular Bamboo silk comes in very last at a whopping 70 bends only need to break a strand.

• SIDE NOTE •

ASK ANY CLEANER WHAT THEIR LEAST FAVORITE FIBER TO CLEAN IS AND THEY'LL TELL YOU IT'S VISCOSE. THIS IS BECAUSE OF ITS VERY EASY BROWNING PROPERTIES. IT ALSO SHEDS LIKE NO OTHER FIBER. AND GOES FROM SHINY, SOFT AND ELEGANT LOOKING TO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. ONLY TAKING 70 STEPS TO CREATE A VISIBLE TRAFFIC PATTERN. IT'S ALSO NOT A CHEAP MATERIAL.

I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THAT'S ENOUGH TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM CHOOSING A 100% VISCOSE/VEGAN SILK CARPET OR RUG

The right choice for you and your needs is out there but keep in mind wool will always be king of the fibers! It's a good idea to find a blended wool product that will certainly last longer than the cheaper full synthetic or non durable green choices.

We know the holidays can be hectic and accidents happen, don't let those stains and dirty traffic areas keep you from enjoying the festivities. We are here to help.
