Product Spotlight: Soft Solutions Carpet with Microban

Written by Michael Phoenix | Wednesday, January 20, 2021

Are you familiar with Soft Solutions Carpet with Microban?

Those suffering from allergies and asthma often avoid carpet entirely due to misconceptions about allergies. Our exclusive Soft Solutions Collection with Microban Antimicrobial Technology is part of the Floors to Go Clean Home Carpet Collection that is taking the lead in setting the record straight. Not only is it easy to clean, but it also helps keep itself clean.

We’ll briefly explore its benefits here.

What is Microban® Antimicrobial Technology?

Microban is a special antimicrobial treatment used on our Soft Solutions carpet collection.

This is not to be confused with antibacterial, which means it just protects against bacteria and viruses. Microban creates a hostile environment for all microorganisms, including mold and mildew.

So, carpet with Microban helps maintain a germ-free environment between cleanings. Fewer microbes also mean less product deterioration over time.

Odor Reduction

Another benefit of Microban is odor reduction, and that means fewer smells.

If you’ve ever smelled an odor that didn’t seem to have a source, it’s often coming from the floors. This is especially true for older carpets, in which spills and dander could become embedded. If enough dirt and moisture became embedded under the carpet, it would promote the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. These, in turn, produce odors that seem to be without a source.

Since Microban creates a hostile environment for micro-organisms, it’s more difficult for these to spread, to begin with.

What is SureSoft SD Carpet Fiber?

Soft Solutions is made from SureSoft SD to improve both style and comfort. It is made of polyester, a soft fiber that helps improve r-value (the measure of a room’s insulation). It features a suede-like texture and a plush, soft feel.

Solution Dyed or “SD” is a manufacturing process that melts the polymer chips used to create the carpet. Vibrant color dyes are then blended into the liquid polymer solution.

In other words, the color is actually infused into the fiber itself, rather than surrounding the outside. This means that color goes all the way through the fiber so the carpet will maintain its color even after wearing.

Soft Solutions Carpet Style and Colors

Soft Solutions is one of the most beautiful carpet selections in our Clean Home flooring options.

Its textured shapes beautifully reflect the popular pattern trend. These patterns are available in a varied mixture of grays and browns mixed with black and white. These hues are designed to match a variety of interior design configurations.
