A carpet is a textile floor covering consisting of an upper layer of "pile" attached to a backing. The pile is generally either made from wool or a manmade fibre such as polypropylene, and usually consists of twisted tufts which are often heat-treated to maintain their structure. Carpet typesSwatches of carpet of tufted construction Drying carpets in a village factory (Ourika Valley, Morocco)WovenThe carpet is produced on a loom quite similar to woven cloth. The pile can be plush or berber. Plush carpet is a cut pile and berber carpet is a loop pile. There are new styles of carpet combining the two styles called cut and loop carpeting. Normally many colored yarns are used and this process is capable of producing intricate patterns from pre-determined designs(although some limitations apply to certain weaving methods with regard to accuracy of pattern within the carpet). These carpets are usually the most expensive due to the relatively slow speed of the manufacturing process. NeedlefeltThese carpets are more technologically advanced. Needle felts are produced by electrostatic attraction of individual synthetic fibres forming an extremely durable carpet. These carpets are normally found in the contract market such as hotels etc. where there is a lot of traffic. KnottedOn a knotted pile carpet (formally, a supplementary weft cut-loop pile carpet), the structural weft threads alternate with a supplementary weft that rises at right angles to the surface of the weave. This supplementary weft is attached to the warp by one of three knot types (see below), such as shag which was popular in the 1970s, to form the pile or nap of the carpet. Knotting by hand is most prevalent in Oriental rugs and carpets. Kashmir carpets are also hand-knotted. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Mike - Sun May 18 23:10:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. I have Stainmaster ... and I have 3 dogs and a cat. My carpet is not yet 4 years old, and it is destroyed. "Stainmaster" isn't worth the time it takes to type the word. OK, the truth is ... if a stain is just on the surface, and you catch it and clean it right away ... yes, you can usually get it out. However, if it soaks through, forget it. You may be able to get most of the visible stain out, but the smell? No way. If you could replace your carpet with Pergo, tile, anything BUT carpet, I'd recommend it. If, however, you do want to use carpet, I'd look into commercial-grade carpet. That's the stuff used in department stores, restaurants, offices, etc. Not too luxurious, but pretty tough. It is a very "tight" carpet ... most wet… [cont.] Answered by *Sombra* - Mon May 19 00:39:26 2008 What kind of carpet should I get for wheelchair use? Q.

Q. Can i clean my carpet from the car in the washer? The portable carpets, can i put them in the washer? Asked by undalbert84 - Fri Dec 22 13:05:07 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can, but I would not use your own -- go to a laudramat. It makes a mess in the washer when you are done. Lots of sand/gravel is embedded in those things.
