Last Saturday, we held the SmartStrand Challenge during the East Texas Builder's Assciation's Home Products Show out at Maud Cobb Convention Center in Longview, TX. We hosted several rounds of staining by registered participants and this is what the carpet looked at by the end of the day. We supplied the "stainers" with red Kool-Aid, grape juice, ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, grape jelly, dirt, bleach, cola, and chocolate syrup and let them try and stain the SmartStrand carpet. On Monday, we moved the challenge ring back to Home Plus and had Cathy's Carpet Care come out and attempt to remove the stains.
The results: The SmartStrand performed much better than anyone had imagined. Except for a few remnants of mustard that will have to be spot cleaned, the carpet came clean. We had only one side cleaned to show just how bad the entire carpet was stained. The remaining side smells kind of like the dumpster behind a McDonald's, so I'm not sure how long we will leave it on display, but if you're in the area, stop by and see the results for yourself.
