Your Local Rug Cleaning Experts

As a carpet cleaner, we know the importance of understanding different rug materials. Synthetic rugs have become increasingly popular for their practicality and affordability, but navigating their features can be tricky.

We have broken down the strengths and limitations of these common synthetic materials to shed light on common synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and olefin, analyzing their durability, stain resistance, and suitability for CrawfordsPRC steam water cleaning.

Olefin Rugs and Carpets – The Steam Cleaning Dream

Olefin’s stain resistance and moisture resistance make it one of the most steam-cleaning-friendly synthetic materials. It tolerates hot water well and dries quickly.

Olefin, also known as polypropylene, is incredibly durable and resists fading, moisture, and stains. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas and outdoor use.

Olefin is known as the champion of stain resistance among synthetics.

Spills bead up on its surface, making it ideal for homes with messy eaters or pets.

Nylon Rugs – Hard Wearing Family Favourite

A durable and resilient fibre, nylon excels in high-traffic areas. It resists abrasion, crushing, and fading, making it ideal for families with pets or children.
Nylon offers inherent stain resistance, although spills should be cleaned promptly. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning help maintain its stain-fighting capabilities.

Steam Cleaning: Nylon generally handles steam cleaning well, but check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions first. Ensure the rug has a colourfast dye to avoid bleeding during cleaning. Call Andy for advice on 07815 814128.

Polyester – For Longer Lasting Colour

While not as resilient as nylon, polyester still offers good durability, particularly against fading and moisture. It’s a budget-friendly option for low-traffic areas.
Polyester boasts inherent stain resistance, similar to nylon. However, it can absorb oil-based stains more readily.

Steam Cleaning: Polyester is usually safe for steam cleaning, but some types may shrink or wrinkle. Double-check the manufacturer’s instructions and use hot water sparingly. Contact us for a free patch trial.

Regular maintenance through weekly vacuuming and professional cleaning extends the lifespan of any rug. Consider the specific manufacturing of the rug, not just the material, when determining its cleaning suitability.
