DuPont Soronas Renewably Sourced Polymer, is hands down the most amazing carpet!
Whether it’s SmartStrand’s exceptional durability, easy cleanability, or incredible softness, we at Mohawk are making it known that our carpet is a cut above the rest. We put our SmartStrand through rigorous testing to ensure top quality and we’re willing to prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Even if that puts our carpet at the mercy of one of the toughest animals on the planet.
Meet Ricko, a 2,800 pound, 12-year-old Black Rhinoceros who currently calls The Birmingham Zoo home. Ricko lives a full, active lifestyle, one of plentiful mud baths and the devouring of entire bushes at a time. If this source of motion were to live in a furnished enclosure, surely the surfaces would be ruined. The flooring in particular wouldn't stand a chance — right?
Combining award-winning carpet with the awe-inducing strength and destruction capabilities of a rhino, Mohawk & DuPont present a completely unique experience, The SmartStrand Challenge.
- The production of Sorona® polymer requires 30 percent less energy than the production of an equal amount of nylon.
-
Greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Sorona® are 63 percent lower than nylon manufacturing.
-
This energy reduction results in approximately one gallon of gasoline saved per every seven square yards of carpet.
The superior stain resistance of SmartStrand® carpet is engineered into the fiber and will never wear or wash off, meaning consumers will never need to retreat the carpet with stain protectors after steam cleaning.
And this engineered-in stain resistance reaches new levels of protection, allowing tough stains such as mustard, red wine, and cherry Kool-Aid® to be removed simply with warm water and a mild detergent, or with Mohawk FloorCare™ Essentials. The fiber even resists discoloration from bleach. |
