A lot has happened to carpets
In the days when chicken
was a special Sunday treat
and the McGuffey Eclertic
Reader was a required
textbook for school children,
a carpet in the parlor was
often tiie most valuable item
in a middle-income U.S.
home. So it was normally
walked on only when special
visitors were being en
tertained.
But a technological But the wall-to-wall
development called tufting, concept is now giving way to

which began with the
chenille bedspread industry
in northwest Georgia had
revolutionized American
carpetmaking by the 19505.
Thus, carpeting has not
only become a wall-to-wall
floor covering throughout
most modern homes and
office buildings - it has
sometimes been used on
walls, and even ceilings.

area rugs which can divide
rooms in the home, just as
activity centers form
imaginary units in modern
open-space classrooms,
reports Mrs. Eleanor F.
Young, Extension textiles
specialist at the University
of Maryland in College Park.
These area rugs lend
themselves better to
cleaning than wall-to-wall
carpeting because they can
be taken up easily and sent
out for a beating. They can
also be rotated more easily
to distribute the wear caused
by people-traffic patterns.
In addition, area rugs lend
themselves to silk-screen
print motifs which can form
minweenters for furniture
design and arrangement
clusters. And, when you

new silk-screen area rugs

commented.
In the last 10 years, car
pets have moved into a new
role as a background fdr
other furnishings, the
Maryland Extension home
economics specialist said.
This should be welcome
news for harried, husbands
whose wives traditionally
demanded new furniture
when new carpeting was
installed in their homes.
Carpets today are
available in a wide range of
fibers and an almost
unlimited array of colors and
textures, so they can be
purchased to fit in with color
schemes and decor already
in use.
Price and wearability are
both determined by the
texture of the carpet and the
type of fiber used by the
manufacturer, Mrs. Young
noted.
Wool remains the
“Cadillac” of the carpet
industry, costing more than
twice as much as most
manmade fibers. Thus, it is
used nowadays largely in

Wool carpets have a soft,
luxurious feeling underfoot,
they clean easily, and they
take well to color dyes.
Acrylic-fiber carpets look
and feel more like wool than
those made from other
synthetics.
Nylon is still the most
durable of all carpet fibers,
however, and it continues to
hold the largest share of the
carpet market, by far. But
polyester fibers are
beginning to make inroads.
After falling in disgrace in
the men’s doubleknit suit
market, polyesters are
coming strong in the carpet
field because they feel'soft
underfoot and can be dyed in
a wide range of clear colors.
Polyester fibers are also
very resistant to water-type

stains.. But they are
somewhat "vulnerable to oil
and grease stains. Nylon also
has a problem in this latter
area.
Mrs. Young recommends
frequent vacuuming as
best procedure for keeping
carpets new-looking for a
long time. She advises that
an upright vacuum cleaner
is best for this purpose
because of its combination of
brushes and suction. But she
admits that uprights are not
as versatile around the home
as tank-type models.
Many older houses
probably have beautiful
hardwood floors that would
lend themselves well to the
modern concept of area
rugs, she notes. But a great
number of newer houses
may require laying down tile
or parquet floors in order to
accommodate the modern
trend.
