May help others in making a decision. Phil is it worth the extra thousands though. Would love your thoughts on this? Hi Grout Perfect (Craig?), Your suggestion regarding dark cut pile wool and nylon carpet is definitely sensible, and I don't necessarily disagree. We've both been in the game long enough to see dark colours hide soiling and traffic lane greying better than light colours, and the resilience of wool and nylon looking pretty good, even after YEARS of use. There is a saying that good carpets ugly out long before they wear out. The biggest problems I see with wool and nylon carpet are, traffic lane greying out due to fibre abrasion, coloured dye staining and bleach marks. The dark colouring covers two of these issues, but it doesn't deal with bleach marks. I'm not sure about you, but I'm one of the very few tech's around that can actually re-colour bleach spots http://www.mightyclean.com.au/SpotDyeingSydney.html but there are very few of us around, and sometimes the extent is beyond rectification - particularly where the home owner or tenant has sprayed an oxi-type laundry cleaner around the place. The other issue is that dark colours don't suit a lot of people's décor. The reason nylon has typically been a hit with the consumer is it's wide range of colour availability. SmartStrand IQ gives the consumer wide colour range options without the fear. Let's face it, most people would love light/white carpet (it's so neutral), but are scared of permanent staining. Only time will tell how well Triexta performs in traffic lanes with respect to fibre abrasion, and pile crush. The fact that it stood up to Rhino's, although very gimmicky in some respects, tends to indicate that it will perform well under foot traffic. I'd like to see how the fibre performed after some aggressive sand blasting though, or how it cleaned up after a few weeks in a mechanics work shop Phil M.
