Mohawk Flooring SmartStrand Products - Zoo Challenge
Several years ago, in an effort to help promote SmartStrand carpet, Mohawk Flooring came up with a fun and unique marketing stunt. The idea was to place some SmartStrand carpet in a zoo and let the wild animals walk on it, and do their thing. The "Zoo Challenge" as it was called, took place in the Dallas Zoo. According to Sean Greene, Deputy Director of Education and Interpretation:
“Knowing these are truly wild animals, I thought there was no way this carpet could handle the wear and tear they would subject it too.” Daily Citizen-News
After taking severe abuse from elephants, camels, and a black rhino, the SmartStrand carpet was cleaned and evaluated, to see how it held up to a combined weight of 50,000 pounds. After two weeks, using only a hot water extraction, the SmartStrand carpet won the battle against the animals and proved to hold up under the most extreme environment.
While the experiment was a very fun and entertaining event, it really did wonders in demonstrating just how resilient the SmartStrand carpet is, and how it would perform in a normal home situation.

Mohawk SmartStrand Warranty
As with all floor covering products, in order to fully understand a warranty, the entire warranty document needs to be reviewed. Customers can not fully understand a warranty by reading the information that is printed on the back of a carpet sample. The information on the back of a sample is used for marketing purposes, and the vague information on the sample is simply not the real story. Most of the time, a customer can visit a company's website to get this information. With Mohawk EverStrand, we have taken the liberty to visit the Mohawk Industries Website and get the entire warranty document:
In general terms, Mohawk SmartStrand has the following warranty:
General Stain Protection Lifetime
Household Pet Lifetime Pet Urine Stain
Soil Protection Lifetime
Abrasive Wear 20 year
Texture Retention 20 year
Fade Resistant 20 year
Manufacturing Defects 20 year
Warranty Coverage Includes Material & Labor
It is extremely important to read and understand the information in the warranty document. In most warranties, homeowners are tasked with care and maintenance procedures that need to be followed. Failure to follow these procedures could result in a warranty claim denial. With Mohawk SmartStrand, the warranty has several items that are required.
As with all warranties (Mohawk SmartStrand included), there is a whole laundry list of "exclusions." These would include:
Accidents, abuse, or abnormal wear
Area rugs
Carpet on stairs
Carpet stains resulting from commercial use
Carpet wear or routine maintenance
Changes in appearance
Crushing
Defects
Color loss
Footprints
Improper cleaning
Improper installation
Matting
