Triexta carpet problems.
So a triexta carpet will perform as well as or better than a nylon carpet of equivalent quality.
While related to polyester the federal trade commission recognized it as a unique fiber in 2009.
But remember no carpet is completely stain proof.
Sorona has permanent stain resistance that is engineered into the fiber and will never wear or wash off.
Triexta carpet is engineered to resist stains not on its coating but within its very fiber.
The primary reason for triexta s high level of stain resistance is that the fiber is hydrophobic meaning that it does not absorb moisture.
The difficulty in making a true comparison between the two fibers lies in triexta s relative youth.
Nylon has been used in carpeting since the mid 1950s so it has several decades of use to support its reputation of durability.
Mohawk markets triexta fiber under their smartstrand brand.
The triexta carpet was totally cleaned with just hot water extraction.

Triexta has actually been used in the clothing industry longer than it has been used in the carpet industry in the clothing industry triexta uses the tag line dry fit to reflect the non absorbent properties of the fiber.
It is very stain and fade resistant.
