| I am about to choose carpets for my entire house. I have seen some very nice wool ones but am wondering how they compare to nylon carpets. My previous carpets were all nylon and held up beautifully for many years ( 20+) . Any carpet experts out there who can advise? |

| We are always attracted to wool carpets (just go to them without knowing they are wool initially). IMO there is nothing like it but I think that for wall to wall I wouldn't choose it. We have it in our bedroom (Karastan) and it has held up very well for about 20 years but unless you get spots out immediately it is difficult - that is with plain colors. If you have a pattern of course that is different and our wool orientals with patterns never show anything and will last forever! For our side porch we are going with a Karastan nylon. I hope we don't get any outgassing though. |
