Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Hotel Carpet 8013 405 CR Commercial Axminster 12′ Wide: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde and VOC off-gassing, Azo dyes and heavy metals in colorants, Dust and dust mite allergens and Moth and insect infestation risk on the Axminster and not on the Axminster.
• We flag Stain/soil treatment chemistry (unspecified), Volatile organic compounds (VOC) from backing and adhesives, Synthetic fiber shedding and microfiber release and Formaldehyde in yarn sizing and dyes on the Axminster and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Axminster is Wool-blend Axminster with stain/soil treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Axminster grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
