Smartstrand forever clean is the only renewable carpet fiber certified free of harmful substances to preserve eco friendly homes and a beautiful planet. Style options the smartstrand line features a wide selection of styles ranging from thick plush styles in various qualities to geometric cut and loop patterns. Unlike wool it s incredibly stain resistant standing up to common spills like food dirt and grease.

Smartstrand is made in part with annually renewable plant based materials minimizing the usage of our limited natural resources and reducing energy consumption in the manufacturing process. Although the triexta fiber may be relatively new it boasts a strong lineage. Its creator dupont is the same company that invented nylon the long running benchmark of carpet fibers. Supposedly it takes 30 percent less energy to make when compared with nylon but is made from more natural sources.

The primary reason for triexta s high level of stain resistance is that the fiber is hydrophobic meaning that it does not absorb moisture. Corn glucose is used to produce up to 37 percent of most kinds of smartstrand carpet. Triexta carpet fibers are more dense than other carpet materials. Some types of stains can so damage to the backing but not the surface fibers such as urine paint thinners and items such as these.

These would normally not do damage to the carpet but in a larger quantity or if allowed to sit for an extended period of time it could break down the latex in the backing. Triexta has actually been used in the clothing industry longer than it has been used in the carpet industry in the clothing industry triexta uses the tag line dry fit to reflect the non absorbent properties of the fiber. Corn silk also has strong anti static qualities meaning you won t be in danger of getting a sudden electric shock after shuffling across your floors. The end product is turned into a renewably sourced polymer and spun into carpet fiber.

The best way to get your triexta carpet good and clean without tiring out your arm is to choose a high quality. Where corn carpet really sets itself apart from wool is in its resistant qualities. This makes it an environmentally friendly flooring option. Can be hard to vacuum.
