Carpeting
Static Proof?
RALEIGH Sparks will soon
be missing from carpeted rooms,
believes Mrs. Lillie Little, exten
sion housing and house furnish
ings specialist, North Carolina
State University. For anti-static
carpeting is beginning to make
its appearance.
Static eectrrcity, especially no
ticeable during the drying house
hold heat of the winter months,
is common on iwool carpeting and
On that made of man-made fi
bers. This could include nylon
acrylics, polyesters and olefins.
How do they make carpeting
static-proof? There are several
methods used, Mrs. Little says.
One of these is the use of metal
fibers in with the carpeting fiber.
Stainless steel or copper wires
coated with tin are being used.
Another method has been the
use of chemical treatments. How
ever, many of these have to be
reapplied once the carpet has
been shampooed.
As an added bonus, there are
some fibers already on the mar
ket that promise the homeowner
antistatic carpeting that soils
less easily, seems to wear long
er and is easier to clean.
However, it may be a while
before such carpeting is avail
able for home use. It's being
used primarily on the {‘onstruc-
tion contract market today.
But when it does filter down
to the homeowner, anti • static
carpeting may be of even better
quality than it is today.
