Some berber carpets have a Ph factor that could experience some discoloration due to a reaction with certain padding materials. Your dealer can provide you with a non-yellowing pad. This is NOT a common problem
The "right" fiber is the one which more closely
resembles your lifestyle, i.e. children, pets, office, home, etc. Your dealer is
best qualified to answer this question
A general solid-duty would be a 50 to 70 ounce,
trackless Saxony with well twisted yarn. Or berbers are also great carpet to
keep their shape
Yes, they are valid. Your local carpet agent can
handle any warranty questions or issues
Too soft a pad can sometimes require restretching of the berber. Consider a min. 7-pound pad to avoid this potential problem
In a nutshell...VACUUMING! But this must be in conjunction with a regular schedule of having a professional carpet cleaning company clean your carpet once a year...possibly more often depending upon your traffic
This condition is most likely caused from storage of the carpet in one position which tends to flatten some carpet areas. This
will, in time, return to normal. Always ask your carpet dealer if you have
particular concerns.
