We have joked with our carpet reps from Mowhawk for years about there strong push on the yarn system used on their carpeting. We see many different flooring product promoted each year and most time we don’t buy in on the hype when new products are pushed. Many time hipe is all it is and the products are over sold. It has taken a while, but we are really starting to buy into the value that Dupont Sorona is offering.
Our reps finally got tired of all our skeptical comments about their products and the brought in the big guns to do a on site presentation. The asked us to get our best Stainmaster carpet to go up against the Dupont Sorona (Smart strand) carpet. The results where surprising. The Mowhawk Carpet Reps put bleach, iodine, grape jam, red wine, blue toilet bowl cleaner on the two carpets. Then we let the stains set in on the carpet for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes we used a small extractor with room temperature water to clean the two carpets. Doing the same amount of stroke on each carpet, the results were night & day difference apart. The Stainmaster carpet had some improvement. The stains did not touch the Sorona Carpet. If you need a carpet that you do not have to worry about the stains, we can truly say the the Smartstrand Sorona yarn system is superior to most other product on the market.
