Want to check out something fun? In the interest of bigger and better challenges to the durability and cleanability of today's carpet fiber--Mohawk came up with the idea of installing its SmartStrand carpet in the Rhino enclosure at the Birmingham Zoo to see how it stood up to the abuse (some of it unmentionable) of Ricko the Rhino...and 4 "RhinoCams" caught the action.

After 2 weeks the carpet was cleaned using normal methods and the results were just as Mohawk had hoped, and were verified by Chip Wade, host of HGTV's "Designed to Sell" and "Curb Appeal." SmartStrand is a soft, luxurious carpet fiber made of Dupont Sorona, a new renewably sourced polymer which uses corn sugar as a key ingredient, saving important natural resources and energy.
