Acrylic carpet – if you do not want a wool carpet for any reason, then an acrylic carpet is your next choice. And unlike the wool carpet, it can resist moisture, mildew and staining. You also have a great range of choices when it comes to color. Just the same, avoid setting it up in high traffic areas as it can also easily suffer from wear and tear faster this way.

Nylon carpet – if you need a carpet for places with high traffic, then a nylon carpet is the best choice. It is a highly resistant to stain and crushing, so it can last longer with minimum maintenance required, although it easily conducts static electricity.
