STAINMASTER carpets already stay up to 30% cleaner than other carpets and last 50% longer. The secret to exceptional STAINMASTER® carpet traffic performance – and one of the reasons it lasts up to 50% longer than other carpets* – is nylon 6,6, a fiber with a unique molecular structure designed for superior strength. One of the reasons it stays up to 30% cleaner than other carpets is a technology called LotusFX Fiber Shield that was inspired by the lotus flower.

The fibers in STAINMASTER carpet are different. The fibers are designed for beauty and performance in order to create the innovative and stunning carpet styles that INVISTA’S STAINMASTER carpet is famous for. To protect these fibers from soil and stains without sacrificing the luxury, STAINMASTER looked to mother nature.  The lotus flower leaf has the ability to prevent soil particles from sticking to its surface. The LotusFX Fiber Shield is designed the same way.

Most liquid spills bead up on the carpet’s fiber surface which makes it difficult for spills to penetrate. What does this mean to you? This means that you have more time to get to the spill and remove it before it penetrates the carpet, making it easier to remove the spill. No carpet is fully stain proof, but having a little time to run get the proper cleaning tools gives you a better chance of removing the stain.
