Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Odetta Plush Carpet 13-1/2 ft. 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 Milliken.
• We flag Fluorochemical stain resistance (PFAS class), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and off-gassing, Flame retardant chemicals (if present) and Coating degradation and leaching over time on the Milliken and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Milliken is Synthetic fiber carpet with stain/soil resistant 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 Milliken grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
