An Introduction to Stain Resistant Carpets

What’s new in the world of carpet stain resistance? What makes today’s protective products so much better than in the past? It all goes to technology. Below are some state-of-the-art protectants used for broadloom stain resistance and the companies that brought them to you. This article will help you understand the differences between the manufacturers.

Mohawk Industries
Stainguard is offered mostly on the mill’s entry-level products. The majority of Mohawk’s polyesters and nylons, including Wear-Dated carpet fiber, have Scotchgard Protector Advanced Repel Technology from 3M. Introduced in late 2005, the protectant is exclusive to Mohawk, said Jenny Cross, brand manager, Mohawk residential. “This new, enhanced Scotchgard system offers protection from the tip of the carpet tuft all the way to the backing, enhanced liquid repellency and excellent durability after traffic or steam cleanings,” she explained. “The other brand we carry from a stain protection standpoint—DuPont Teflon—is only associated with Stainmaster.”

Stepping away from protectors, Cross noted, the company’s SmartStrand fibers require no stain protection because it is inherent to the polymer itself. An advantage of SmartStrand is no chemicals are removed through the cleaning process. “No treatments are ever needed,” she added. “Carpet can be cleaned, in most cases, with just water.”

New developments: Smart-Strand carpet with DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer. In a partnership with DuPont, this carpet exclusively offers fiber made with Bio-PDO (the key Sorona ingredient), which is produced from corn sugar. By utilizing this new ingredient, 37% of Sorona is being made from renewable resources.
