Polypropylene

Fibre Behaviour & Cleaning Information

Polypropylene (Olefin)

What it is:
A moisture‑proof synthetic fibre used in rentals, loop piles, and budget installs.

Strengths:

  • Highly stain‑resistant

  • Moisture‑proof

  • Very affordable

  • Resists fading

Weaknesses:

  • Poor resilience

  • Crushes and mats quickly

  • Traffic lanes often permanent

  • Attracts oily soils

Why the carpet Fibre Matters for Cleaning

Different fibres respond differently to:

  • heat

  • pH

  • agitation

  • moisture

  • stain removal

  • drying

This is why technician‑level cleaning produces better results — because the method is adjusted to the fibre, not a one‑size‑fits‑all steam clean.
