Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Hustle 9568 Residential Carpet: 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 Masland.
• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adhesive and backing, Formaldehyde in dyes and finish resins, Stain-resistant treatment degradation and leaching and Dust accumulation and indoor air quality on the Masland and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Masland is Residential carpet with stain-resistant finish, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 30 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Masland grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
