What are your experiences in cleaning SmartStrand carpets? Can you tell the difference between PET polyester and Triexta, PTT?
I find it curious that at a time of declining interest in having carpet in the home that manufacturers are making products that reinforce the belief that carpet doesn't hold up to even moderate use, doesn't clean easily or well, and doesn't stay clean.
If I wanted to go back in time and create even less market share than carpet already has had, I'd have had them push polyester and its "dressed up cousin" triexta even sooner into the game.
why can't they get it all out. They know what's gonna happen, they need to figure it out. It would solve part of the problemIt seems pretty obvious that Mohawk is aware of the "loom oil lubricant" problem with PET & PTT carpet fibers .

They don't care that carpet has a smaller market share.

I agree 100%
The mils are driving with their eyes closed!
There is no difference. At one time Triexta was considered to be Polyester.What are your experiences in cleaning SmartStrand carpets? Can you tell the difference between PET polyester and Triexta, PTT?
Went in to a large flooring distributor a few years ago. National chain. I was buying linoleum for my kitchen.
Talking to the sales people, they had no idea about different carpets. Like on fire said.
I took some material in to them, describing characteristics etc. their eyes glazed over!!!lol
