sustainable performance

carpet that lasts

Sustainability begins with carpet that lasts.
STAINMASTER^® carpet lasts up to 50% longer than competitive carpets*, which means they can help conserve resources and eliminate waste through fewer replacements. Because long-lasting STAINMASTER^® carpets can reduce the need for replacement and additional manufacturing, you as a consumer can feel that you made a good financial investment and a responsible choice purchasing STAINMASTER^® carpet for your home.

What long-lasting carpet means to the environment.
While energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for the manufacturing of STAINMASTER^® carpet fiber are comparable to competitive fiber types,** using long lasting STAINMASTER^® carpet can result in up to 37% lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (expressed as CO₂ equivalents) than other carpets.***

*Results based on testing of a statistically representative sample of carpets of comparable construction, styles & colors.

**Based on a comparison of industry benchmarks to INVISTA’s life-cycle analysis for nylon 6,6 fiber, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for the manufacturing of STAINMASTER^® carpet fiber are comparable to competitive fiber types.

***Calculations by Boustead Consulting Associates, Ltd based on life cycle assessment eco-profiles for INVISTA fibers, PET fibers, Nylon 6 fiber, Nylon 6,6 fiber and carpet backing and INVISTA internal carpet performance studies.

LotusFX^® Fiber Shield innovation

Making something good even better with LotusFX^® Fiber Shield technology.
The fibers in our carpet are different. Our multidimensional fibers are specially designed for beauty and performance to create the stunning carpet styles that INVISTA’s STAINMASTER^® carpet is famous for.

Now all of the STAINMASTER^® carpet styles have the LotusFX^® Fiber Shield treatment technology. LotusFX^® Fiber Shield is the latest innovation of our patented anti-soil chemistry.

Beauty, inspired by nature.
So how do you protect the beauty of these specially designed fibers from soil and stains - without sacrificing the soft luxury and style of STAINMASTER^® carpet? The self-cleaning quality found on the leaves of the lotus flower became our inspiration.

By mimicking the lotus leaf’s ability to prevent soil particles from sticking to its surface, our specially designed LotusFX^® Fiber Shield technology makes it difficult for soil to stick to the carpet fibers, helping to keep STAINMASTER^® carpets up to 30% cleaner and lasting up to 50% longer than other carpets.*

Plus, most liquid spills bead up on the carpet fiber’s surface making it difficult for them to penetrate. Together this works to make STAINMASTER^® carpet easy to maintain and allows the carpet to keep its stylish beauty year after year.
