Demand that the fiber component of your new carpet is type 6.6 nylon. All Stainmaster Tactesse® carpets are constructed of type 6.6 nylon.

The polymer composition contributes a significant part of the total performance of a carpet fiber.  Type 6.6 nylon provides a more resilient, stain resistant and colorfast building block on which to add other features.

The fiber size and shape, treatments for soil and/or stain resistance, and quality of manufacturing are also critical for long-term carpet performance. Finally, carpet construction and backing will also play a role in floor performance.
