DuPont^™ Sorona^® plays a major role in the worldwide objective of a renewable economy and represents a new frontier in sustainability. This carpet is environmentally smart because:

• 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.

SmartStrand^® with DuPont^™ Sorona^® is backed with industry-leading warranties:

• Lifetime Stain Resistance
• Lifetime Anti-Static
• Lifetime Soil Resistance
• 25-Year Texture Retention
• 25-Year Abrasive Wear
• 25-Year Fade Resistance
• 25-Year Manufacturer Defects

Finally, a carpet that is designed with all of the "oops moments" of life in mind. Time-tested durability, extraordinary softness and easy care.

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 re-treat the carpet with stain protectors after steam cleaning.

Tough stains such as mustard, red wine, and cherry Kool-Aid^® can be easily removed with warm water and a mild detergent. The fiber even resists discoloration from bleach.

It's not enough that SmartStrand^® looks good. It must also meet the rigorous demands of household action and support furniture and furnishings. Certified durability tests confirm that SmartStrand^® carpets perform better than PET polyester, and comparable – or better – than nylon. Plus, SmartStrand^® is luxuriously soft to the touch.
