While in the store, it may seem that many carpets look the same. But not all carpets perform the same. It’s the technology behind the carpet that makes a difference.

Only STAINMASTER® carpets offer the exclusive three-part system for lasting beauty:

1) 6,6 Nylon Technology - With this patented fiber technology, STAINMASTER® carpets resist crushing, abrasive wear and color fading. The unique molecular structure of 6,6 nylon make it much more resilient than carpet fiber made from polyester, polypropylene and other types of nylon. Plus, this specially designed fiber keeps soil and stains from penetrating.

2) DuPont Advanced TEFLON® Protectant - This superior soil resistance technology enables STAINMASTER® carpet fibers to push dirt away, allowing it to be removed more easily with a vacuum cleaner. And the Stain Protection reduces the fiber’s ability to absorb liquids, greatly limiting its ability to become stained. This unique soil and stain protection lasts much longer than other carpets’ protection, which must be re-applied after each cleaning in order to maintain their warranties.

3) Anti-Static Technology - The fibers in every STAINMASTER® carpet contain a special carbon compound causing them to act like thousands of tiny lighting rods, deflecting static shock for the life of the carpet. Most other carpets are sprayed with anti-static protection that can wear off with foot traffic and successive cleanings.

With our homes filled with expensive electronics these days, the last thing you want is to short circuit a computer or audio system simply by walking on your carpet and touching a device. Anti-stat protection offers peace of mind for homeowners where their electronic investments are concerned.

Did you know that STAINMASTER® warranties are transferable to a new owner? This is a great selling tool and potentially adds additional value to your home if you currently have your home on the market and have STAINMASTER® carpet installed.

If you’re looking to have new carpet installed in your home, be sure to measure the approximate size of the area to be carpeted before calling for estimates.

Make sure that all cost estimates include padding, installation, seaming, stairs (if applicable), thresholds, the moving of furniture and the removal of old carpet or other flooring and materials.
