I'm Chip Wade from HGTV's Designed to Sell and Curb Appeal: The Block. I've teamed up with Mohawk and DuPont to introduce to you a revolutionary and extraordinary new class of carpet called SmartStrand.

Triexta is unique in that it combines both exceptional durability with permanent built-in stain and soil protection- no other fiber can make this claim. And it's also eco-smart! It's made with a renewable resource, corn. It requires less energy to make and reduces our dependency on oil. SmartStrand DuPont carpets are inherently and incredibly soft. Moms, kids, and pets will love the comfort that SmartStrand carpets provide.

To prove how durable and stain resistant SmartStrand carpets are, we put it to the ultimate test- a 2,800 pound African black rhino and six of his elephant friends who challenged SmartStrand during our recent SmartStrand Zoo Challenge.

Who do you think won the challenge? That's right, SmartStrand won!
