Abstract
Carpets having stain resistant pile fibers and a backing that is substantially impervious to water are described. The imperviousness of the backing prevents water from passing through the carpet and into the underpad where its presence causes rotting and mildewing of the underpad and carpet components, and thus, permits the carpet to be washed with generous amounts of water without wetting the underpad. Also, aqueous substances which spill onto the carpet will not penetrate the carpet and wet the underpad.
