There was a nylon plush which is the same only with a shorter cut pile. I eventually chose 'Redbook' carpet and was told by the installer to "never clean the carpet in a circular motion" -- which I guess rules out the 'Electrodry' cleaning method and not to use steam cleaning because "all carpets are scotch-guarded when they are made, once they are steam cleaned this is removed necessitating cleaning much more often" -- unless ofcourse you have the carpet re-scotch guarded at considerable expense after the first clean. Arfur, you have confirmed with that MISinformation that you should NOT LISTEN TO CARPET SALES PEOPLE OR LAYERS when it comes to carpet care. They have told you a lotta crap! Firstly, wool does have natural protection from staining, by virtue of its cellular construction. If looked after well, it performs very well. But I have always said to choose wool only if you are going to look after it well. Allowing dogs to live on it may not be a great thing, (possibly an expensive mistake) but some still perform well in these conditions. Yes, having a ROTARY BONNET cleaning method will void the warranty on many carpets, as manufacturers have said it is not acceptable. Manufacturers also say the carpets SHOULD be steam cleaned regularly (AT LEAST EVERY 2 YEARS) and to not do so will void the warranty. Steam cleaning to the Australian Standard is proper maintenance, and does not adversely effect stain resistant treatments if done correctly by trained technicians. So what the installer was telling you utterly wrong! I really do get sick of having to constantly debunk stuff that stupid ill-informed people keep spruiking about carpet care! The stain resistant treatments on a nylon carpet will gradually wear in traffic ways due to abrasion. Proper cleaning with suitable chemicals will not affect this. After the first few cleans, it may be a good idea to have a topical Teflon applied by your technician to restore its performance. This is an investment in the carpet's longevity, and good maintenance. BUT if you fail to maintain the carpet properly, or use an untrained 'carpet cleaner' who do not understand carpets, you may find the carpet's performance declining quickly. And back to the original question... this is an inexpensive carpet that will probably give very good service in kid's bedrooms. http://www.northstatecarpets.com.au/products.asp?id=61 Ash.
