Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Chateau by Milliken - Free Sample/Quote: 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 Milliken.
• We flag Flame retardants (if present in textile finish), Formaldehyde or aldehyde releasers in dye or finish resins, VOC off-gassing from backing, adhesives, or finish and Coating degradation and particle shedding over time on the Milliken and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Milliken is Fabric blend, stain-resistant treatment unspecified, 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 Milliken grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
