Berber carpeting is constructed from polypropylene or olefin fiber, and may include a small percentage of nylon fiber mixed in. While others are now made with 100% nylon fiber. The polypropylene fibers are hydrophobic, meaning that they repel water and water-based stains, which allow for superior cleaning on some of the most common household stains.
