Dupont Sorona SmartStrand Carpeting - Why the smart choice?

Why Is SmartStrand Environmentally Smart?

DuPont Sorona® plays a major role in the worldwide objective of a renewable economy and represents a new ffrontier in sustainability.

This carpet is environmentally smart because:

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. It goes without saying that SmartStrand can be found as a major component in inspired homes everywhere.

Did you know colors can be energy efficient?

Making your home comfortable while reducing energy consumption is the wave of the future. You can turn a new or old home into a more energy-wise one with just a few simple improvements.

Using wall-to-wall carpets, area rugs, high-backed chairs and draft-blockers at doorways and window sills are first steps, but did you know that a room color can make a difference. Colors like red, orange, and yellow (which are warm colors) add warmth to areas that are cooler in temperature like the north side of the house, where direct sunlight is scarce. "Cooler" colors like blues, greens and violets are ideal for warmer southern and western exposure rooms.
