If you haven’t heard, the SmartStrand Carpet was put into a Black Rhino’s enclosure at the Birmingham Zoo for 2 weeks. Yes, the Rhino, Ricko, was living on this light colored triexta carpet, doing all of his business daily.

After two weeks, the Mohawk carpet was cleaned using Mohawk Care and Essentials carpet cleaner. And guess what, it cleaned up and the SmartStrand carpet looks new again.

If you haven’t seen this amazing carpet test, visit MohawkFlooring.com or SmartStrandChallenge.com to see the results. The proof is in the pictures, or in this case, the proof is in the zoo!

The day this happened, March 22nd, 2009 was truly a day of celebration for both Mohawk and DuPont.  A new carpet fiber division has not been introduced to the carpet industry since the introduction of nylon in 1959.  Triexta carpet fibers boast superior built-in stain resistance that cannot be washed off and are mold-resistant and dry quickly.  Mohawk Industries Carpet with TriextaFor these reasons, carpets like Mohawk’s SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer are both kid friendly and pet friendly.
