StarFloors Cleaning Tip of the Month!

At StarFloors, we love to share our tips for keeping your floors as clean and stunning as the first day they were installed. This month's floor care tip features a product that is highly effective but also a staff favorite at StarFloors.

Shaw’s R2X Stain and Soil Remover

If you know Shaw that you have probably heard of R2X before.
R2X is Shaw’s patented carpet protective system, which is applied to most of the carpets they manufacturer. R2X represents a breakthrough in soil and stain resistance technology. Most stain and soil resistance systems are topically applied and provide adequate protection only around the surface of the carpet. Comparatively, the R2X system produces total fiber coverage and protection from the top to the bottom of the yarn. The superior repellency of R2X keeps liquid stains on the face of the carpet where they can be easily removed by blotting.

"Shaw's patented and 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. With R2X, spills that reach the base of the yarn don't penetrate and wick back to the top as they do with conventional solutions."

Fortunately, for us, Shaw also created an effective household cleaner, R2X Stain and Soil Remover, which harnesses this R2X power. To date, this is one of the most effective and convenient ways to clean tough household spills and stains that attack your floors. The best part is that R2X is available for soft and hard surface flooring!
