Bleach-cleanable carpet across SE9

Stain-Resistant Carpet in New Eltham — common questions
Yes — modern solution-dyed nylon is barely distinguishable from a wool blend underfoot. The old "plastic" feel is 15 years out of date.
10 years on the ranges we fit most in SE9 — covers common household staining but not pet urine (that needs a specific pet-treated range).
Wool resists dirt but holds dye — red wine and coffee will stain permanently. For a New Eltham family home we usually steer wool to bedrooms and put solution-dyed nylon in the living areas.
On solution-dyed ranges, yes — 1:10 household bleach and water is the manufacturer's recommendation for stubborn stains. Colour survives because it's built into the fibre, not printed on top.
