The Truth About Stain and Soil Protection
SmartStrand is the ONLY carpet that contains permanent, built-in stain and soil protection that never washes or wears off.
The stain and soil protection on all other carpets is temporary and has to be reapplied when it wears or washes off. In fact, in an independent study, nylon carpets lost on average nearly 50% of their stain and soil protection after just three steam cleanings. That’s why other carpets become difficult to keep clean over time. SmartStrand Silk eliminates this problem so you can enjoy 100% protection for life.
