Stainmaster is Polyester???

Since when is Stainmaster a polyester?

Maybe it's been out for a while but I just came across a carpet that was Stainmaster brand but wasn't a nylon! Huh?

Stainmaster has always been a nylon carpet. Stainmaster had exacting standards that included: it must be a nylon fiber, at least 28 oz face weight and was made with nylon 6.6 (which is a certain type of nylon yarn that would clean easier)! So I was flabbergasted to see a Stainmaster that was polyester. Plainly they are using the Stainmaster brand to generate more sales since polyester yarn is cheaper than nylon and they were probably losing market share.

So out comes Stainmaster polyester. Hmmmm.....it probably won't wear as good or be as resilient as the original Stainmaster but why let those facts get in the way of more sustained future sales, eh?

Nuff said I guess.......
