Berber carpet
Name meaning
The term “berber” stands for any type of carpeting with more than two colors.[citation needed] Berber can be loop, cutpile, frieze, and others.
History
The origin of Berber carpets date back to the Paleolithic era and were made by Berbers in North Africa. The hand spun cloth they created was named for the tribe, and they used natural fibers to create cloaks, rugs, and other fabrics.
Traditional Berber carpet
Handmade Berber carpet from Morocco
Handmade / homemade Berber carpets are still an active industry in many rural areas of Morocco and other North African countries. Many Berber families gain their daily bread from manufacturing carpets manually and selling them in local markets or even to art merchants and tourists. Traditional Berber carpet is totally different from the modern mass produced berber carpets usually known in the West. They are much more sophisticated and are made of natural materials.
Modern Berber carpet
Today there are several types of modern Berber carpet made from a range of materials. Nylon, olefin, and wool are the most common materials, and the size of loops and cut pile varies for each manufacturer. Olefin is the most commonly used and most affordable material, and carpets with blends of the different materials are also available.
Berber carpet is highly durable and often found in offices, schools, and other high traffic areas. It is stain resistant as well, and is more affordable than thicker plush carpets. The downside is that it can be difficult to clean if dirt does get lodged in the fibers, and it may need dry cleaning or specialized service for deep cleaning. It is recommended by most professionals that Olefin Berber be cleaned using a low-moisture or dry cleaning process. Traditional Steam cleaning with high alkaline detergents can cause potential pH burns in the olefin. These appear as large yellow or brown splotches. Regrettably many of these stains can be permanent if not corrected quickly by a professional carpet cleaner. As with all carpets, Berber should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months to prevent permanent wear patterns.
