What is an Axminster Carpet? History, Craftsmanship and Modern Applications
Axminster Heritage • Global Hospitality Excellence
Axminster Carpets: The Gold Standard of Hospitality Flooring
Blending 15th-century weaving heritage with precision engineering, MJS Axminster carpets remain the undisputed choice for luxury hotels, casinos, and high-end commercial spaces worldwide.
Revolutionary Weaving Technology
The Axminster weaving process is unique because it inserts individual tufts of yarn into the backing as the carpet is being woven. This mimics the ancient hand-knotting technique, allowing for unlimited design complexity. At China MJS Carpet & Rug, we utilize state-of-the-art electronic Jacquard looms that can manage up to 16 colors simultaneously, providing crisp pattern definition and a palette that captures the most subtle gradients.
Our standard 80% wool and 20% anti-static nylon blend provides the perfect equilibrium. The wool offers natural flame retardancy and a luxurious touch, while the nylon provides the structural integrity required to withstand millions of footfalls in busy hotel corridors and ballrooms.
Exquisite pattern alignment for a landmark five-star hotel ballroom project.

Engineering Guide: Maintenance & Care Protocol
To preserve the luxurious texture and ensure the 20-year design life of your heavy-contract woven Axminster carpet in public hotel zones, the following systematic maintenance scheme is highly recommended by our product engineers:
Daily Vacuuming: High-traffic areas (reception, corridors) require daily upright vacuuming with a beater bar or cylinder brush to lift abrasive dust before it penetrates the wool core.
Immediate Spot Treatment: Accidental spills must be blotted (never rubbed) immediately with a clean, dry white cotton cloth. Always work from the outer edges of the stain inward to prevent spreading.
Periodic Deep Cleaning: Implement a dry extraction cleaning process or hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) with wool-safe detergents every 12 to 18 months to deep-clean the woven backing structures.
