Thanks for the details on stain tests and the carpets’ resistance. I laughed out loud when u said u have personal better wines for drinking so we won’t think u were wasting wine to stain the carpet! Thanks for great info Robert!👍
You are a little wrong with the Nylon sample from Shaw. The stain treatment will not come off after many hot water extraction cleanings and I believe it is for the life of the carpet. Shaw does not use Stainmaster stain treatment. Also, with the bleach, there are solution dyed nylons that are bleach resistant and you are comparing to a solution dyed polyester. Third, possibly should have used a white swatch from dream weaver to compare any staining. Last, what uglies out anyone's carpet is crushing as well so a huge consideration when choosing carpet. Polyester also clings to oils/grease which attracts a lot more dirt.
To be more specific in addressing your points. Nylon stain protectants are all treatments applied to the fiber, as opposed to an inherent part of the fiber. As such, these can wear off and be cleaned out over time. How quickly will depend on the specific coating. Shaw generally uses the R2X treatment with their Anso nylon fiber. I never claim Shaw still uses Stainmaster but I see where the confusion was as I mention in generalities that Nylon has traditionally used products like stainmaster for protection. I use that as an example because it is the most recognizable name to consumers. The Shaw carpet is strictly the representation for the broader nylon category in this video. Thanks for pointing out the distinction though as I could have clarified better. Yes, Nylons through various dying methods can be more bleach resistant though not bleach proof. I didnt have a lighter sample handy on the DW carpet but you are right, that would have been helpful. And your point on crushing uglying out carpet is very true and soiling contributes to the uglying out as well but this video was designed to focus on stains specifically. Thanks so much for watching and for bringing up these points.
I dye yarns and fabrics, as well as weaving. Many wool yarns add nylon fiber for strength, such as in yarn for knitting socks. Nylon is used because it takes dye very similarly to wool, meaning we use acid dyes (like the ones used for Easter eggs). Food such as tomatoes or wine replicate acid dyes very well; they are mildly acidic, and have pigments that can bond to the fibers. So nylon, as a fiber, is not at all resistant to these kinds of food stains. The resistance has to be applied to the fiber separately, and will eventually wear off, perhaps after many years. Our nylon carpet used to repel stains, but now doesn’t at all- a stain develops even if we clean up immediately. It’s over 20 years old and needs replacing. It did hold up very well to wear however.
Can you tell me about Kane carpeting? Is it good for a high traffic area? What is heat set Eurolon and synthetic yarns? Also the dye method is solution dyed/part piece dyed. What does this mean? Thanks in advance!! 😊
I'll do a video on Kane, but synthetic yarns are any fibers that are not natural fibers like a wool. So nylon, polyester, as well as Kane's Eurolon are synthetic fibers. Solution dyed fibers are dyed at the beginning of the manufacturing process so the polymers are dyed before ever being extruded into the yarn. This process holds the color in the yarn better than space dyed yarn, although space dyed yarn gives a lot of additional color options as different dyes are applied along an already extruded yarn.
So I'm thinking the repellent protection on the carpet is all chemicals so therefore when I'm walking on carpet or sitting down on it I imagine that it might be absorbed on the skin. Which is not very comforting. But I understand why they have to do it I guess
Hi, brand new subscriber here, and previous to this video I watched your video of a year earlier (two years ago) on various types of carpets when purchasing for your home. Now I liked this video and I think I'm pretty safe with not getting bleach on my carpet, so nylon may still be an option. Your stain test sparked a question about types of stain resistant coatings, I'm familiar with scotch guard, but what else is out there and do you recommend one over another?
For stain protection, the built in stain resistance of the smartstrand carpet makes it the superior fiber type for stain resistance. This is not a coating to be applied or reapplied to the carpet, it is an inherent part of the carpet.
Nylon generally is the most expensive fiber, followed by smartstrand and lastly polyester. This assumes all other factors like oz weight and style are realtively apples to apples.
@@jacqueline1657 Oh! Why, THANK YOU, Jacqueline! I hope you will look forward to my next one as well: the most outrageous cupcakes you ever saw. See, I got roped into a cupcake challenge issued by another cooking channel, and I am not a baker...like, AT ALL. 100% outside my comfort zone. Sooooo, here I am, at the tail end of 25 hours of filming, and 12 hours (so far) of editing, and it's just killing me. I've had to trash 80% of my footage, because you can hear the anger in my voice -- even though I'm trying to sound cheery -- from all the messing up. This was one of those, "cursed," projects... Cheers! =)
No disrespect but misleading not practical.! Its a whole different situation when you actually have to remove soils spot or stains out of these polymers when the carpet is horizontal. You cant pick up the carpet and take to sink for cleaning. Turning it sideways flipping it around. Scrubbing it while the water is flowing over it makes it simple. Completly different application on flat surface cleaning. Im sure you would agree Please show real scenerio on the floor in removing soils and spills. Not to mention if this were pet stains just call professional. Been in the business 4o years. Keep it real.
I understand your sentiment, but this video is not meant to be misleading, and I certainly dont think anyone in my audience is naive enough to believe this is a practical application. These are demonstrations that have been done many times by manufacturers to show general distinctions in fiber technology. I have also previously uploaded a short format video showing hot water extraction applied to carpet after stains have set in. I intend to put out videos in the future in partnership with some of my IICRC certified carpet cleaning specialists to show real-world application cleanings. I appreciate your feedback and the kind tone at which you wrote it, I assure you this video was not made in bad faith. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on the topic.

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. It is definitely going to help me tomorrow when I go to pick out carpet
Thank you for your demonstration I’m choosing triaxta smart strand carpet for my stairs.

Very useful video, thank you for making it!

This was brilliant and a big eye opener. Never heard of the Smart Strand fiber! What is the difference per sq ft of the 3 fiber types cost wise?
