			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are replacing an old carpet, in addition to selecting the proper pile and fabric for your new carpet, you should also Loop pile carpets, such as Berber, generally last a long time and are suitable for high traffic areas like sitting rooms or dining areas. Pile refers to the way yarn is woven onto the backing of a carpet. This is not only because it is a natural fabric, but also because it is more comfortable to walk on and soft to the touch.</p>
<p>Nylon and wool are excellent carpet fabrics: both have good stain resistance and are easy to clean, though you will pay slightly more for wool. Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity of your carpets and save you money otherwise spent on replacement or refurbishment. Higher quality fabrics stand up better to carpet steam cleaning and will generally bring you lower carpet cleaning prices. You can expect to pay between £20 and £40 per square meter of carpet, depending on the quality of the fabric.</p>
<p>In terms of choosing a carpet fabric, comfort, durability and style are the factors that should influence your decision. Versatility is important, as while your other home furnishings may change, your carpets likely will not, and so you want to make a choice that will suit a variety of styles, periods, colours and textures that be placed on top of or around your new carpets.  Buying carpets is a big job: they will form a key element of your home decor and may remain there for up to a decade.</p>
