The R2X Stain and Soil Resistance System: What makes it so different?

Shaw first introduced their patented and exclusive R2X; Stain and Soil Resistance system in 2001 after years of research and testing. It quickly became the industry's fastest-growing protective carpet treatment. It’s been hailed as a new generation in carpet technology and is as much of an innovation today as the first carpet stain and soil treatments were decades ago.

Shaw's exclusive R2X system goes beyond conventional repellents that only protect the surface of the carpet. With R2X, carpets are armed with total fiber coverage, offering complete protection from the top to the bottom of the yarn. This total fiber coverage offers unprecedented protection against household spills and everyday soiling.

It's easy to keep your carpet as clean as the day you bought it. It surrounds each individual fiber to protect the entire carpet—from the tips of the fiber to the carpet backing—for total stain and soil protection. Its liquid-repelling properties keep stains on the surface, making it the industry favorite for fast cleanup and easy maintenance.

In testing, R2X demonstrated superior carpet stain resistance on two levels. First, it provides better initial protection. Second, it allows more time to react to a problem. Another significant benefit of R2X is its effectiveness with polyester and polypropylene fibers. Most polyester and polypropylene carpets have an inherent tendency to attract soil. Topical soil carpet treatments are only "skin deep," and the limited protection they offer wears away after cleaning or normal wear and tear. In contrast, R2X continues to perform well even after repeated cleanings. The performance of nylon, polyester, and polypropylene treated with ordinary systems begins to diminish. And of course, Shaw's warranty protection ensures customer satisfaction, time after time.

Did you know that Shaw uses recycled plastic bottles to make there carpet backing. Those plastic bottles actually create a stronger yarn than other PET products. So you get a durable, long-lasting carpet that contributes to a cleaner planet: made with up to 100% recycled content. All RX2® warranties include lifetime stain resistance and 10- to 30 year coverages (depending on product selection) for abrasive wear, texture retention, soil resistance and manufacturing defects.

PET, sometimes PETE -(Bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate  can be "recycled" to reuse the material out of which they are made and to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills.
