The challenge given to us, as Designers
for this property, by the owner was to
find a
carpet that would assist them in their
need for soil and stain resistance while
maintaining
a look of high design. Durkan’s new “ColorShield” product
was the answer with its new product technology
of soil and stain resistance and with the
addition of Durkan’s bleach resistant
technology this product will be easily
maintained. We were still able to use the
interesting
patterns and colors we wanted – having
fun doing it and also meeting the customers
needs.

The
ColorShield product, I was very impressed
with because with this particular product
the stain retardancy of it is inherit in
the fibers so it acts like a solution dyed
nylon carpet. So, that’s a fantastic
feature in that you can remove stains so
easily. We
have a hotel in Atlanta, the Cooper Hotel
Companies’property. This carpet was
recently installed in their lobby, breakfast,
dining area,
which you can imagine the kinds of stains
and problems
you get in that kind of area. We heard
back this week from the GM that they were
able
to just take a wet rag, and basically lift
the stain up with a rag. He was thrilled
because he has a product that he is going
to be able to maintain. He is going to
be able to maximize the owner’s profits
as well as minimize his expenses in maintaining
the product. On top of that–he gets
a beautiful carpet.

We
just had the carpet installed a few days
prior to a guest spilling a cup of hot
chocolate in the breakfast area. I panicked,
being
that we had brand new carpet, just had
it installed. I threw a towel over the
spill
to keep anyone from stepping on it and
soaking the stain further into the carpet.
When I
went back to clean up the spill, I actually
brought a cleaner with me and a wet rag. When
I pulled the cloth up half of the stain
was already gone. The towel absorbed the
hot
chocolate and all I had to do was wipe
the carpet with a wet rag and the stain
came
up completely.”
