Absolutely! Berber is a weave, not a particular type of fabric. Berber is simply a type of loop construction carpet that has face yarns which can be made of olefin, nylon, wool or a blend. Berber requires a more thorough cleaning than other carpets because more "flushing" action needs to take place to get under, around and through the loops. This also necessitates more dry vacuum passes with the wand in order to allow the carpeting to dry as soon as possible.
