First time I've seen one. Was in my local carpet shop. There it was polypropylene Belgian Wilton Berber. Didnt actually look like your normal berber though. Just thought I'd share that with you chaps.

I cleaned a loop piled polyprop woven a while ago. Cleaned up a treat but dogs had been using one corner of it as a toilet. Had to lift it, remove some of the underlay and spray the backing in a small area.
All at the customers risk of course.

Berber is the style of carpet and is not made or woven on a Wilton loom.
The Wilton  loom is a double faced loom and the polyprop is woven onto the jute/hessian backing in Belgian hence Belgian Wilton.
The hessian is what causes the shrinkage on over wetting.

There are lots of polyprop carpets out there that will not cause a problem on cleaning as they are not hessian/jute woven or bonded.

I've been told by two carpet retailers that there is no such thing as Belgium Wilton, was told by one that sythetic wiltons exist but Belgium Wilton is alien and has never been heard of.
They both agree that belguim wilton could have been a style of pattern that was put on to polyprop synthetic.

I think you will find that they are made in Belgium on a Wilton loom.

And the fibre face is polyprop.
