Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Mesa Bella Carbon Carpet 830: 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 PFAS in stain-resistant treatment, Flame retardants (brominated or phosphate-based), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and off-gassing and Bacterial or mold growth if not maintained on the Masland and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Masland is Carpet with stain-resistant treatment, 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 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
