Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Everstrand Renovate II 15' Wide 3L35 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 Mohawk.
• We flag VOC off-gassing from stain-resistant finish and adhesive backing, PFAS in stain-resistant treatment and Fiber shedding and microplastic accumulation in dust on the Mohawk and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Mohawk is Everstrand polyester blend with stain/water-repellent finish, 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 Mohawk grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
