Silk:

Hemp and Jute:
These materials are mainly used in combination and made for high foot traffic areas and busy homes. They are mostly used in the making of Dhurries and flatweave rugs and aren’t that expensive.
Nylon:
Nylon is an artificial alternative to natural fibers like wool and silk. It’s durable and versatile, and it’s both kid and pet-friendly and can bear high foot traffic but it has its downsides too. It absorbs more water and can be damaged by some accidental spills.
Polyester:
Polyester rugs are stain-resistant and don’t react to spills as badly as nylon rugs. But, they are also less durable and very short life span as compared to nylon. The polyester loses its grip and falls apart much quicker and easier after some time
