Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Carpet & Rug Protector: 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 Scotchgard.
• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOC) and inhalation exposure during application, Fluorochemical off-gassing and vapor inhalation (non-PFAS), Microparticle shedding from degraded coating and Accumulation in household dust and secondary dermal/ingestion exposure on the Scotchgard and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Scotchgard is Proprietary fluorochemical or hydrocarbon-based carpet protectant coating, 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 Scotchgard grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
