My carpet in the bedroom and hallway carpet is the original (16 years old). It is a plush or cut pile. My husband is a quadriplegic in a motorized wheelchair. He is very hard for all types of soils. We have burbs in the living room and dining room, and it seems to wear well. Let me try and Fries. He tends to mash and turn the carpet, especially when turning in a doorway. Will the frieze mat down quickly?
