ROLS CARPETS

First, let’s talk about PET. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate and is a virgin plastic, meaning that raw materials were used in its creation. Its production creates carbon emissions and consumes a significant amount of energy. Recycled PET or rPet is recycled polyethylene terephthalate, a product made from post-consumer recycled materials. 

Although recycling also requires energy, recycled PET is more sustainable since it reduces the reliance on non-renewable energy sources (raw materials) and diverts plastic waste from landfills, overall contributing to a circular economy. Instead of taking hundreds of years to decompose, PET plastic is rescued, reused, and recycled.

A rug crafted from recycled PET polyester yarns has many benefits, including:

• Indoor-outdoor flexibility

• Softness underfoot

• Compatible with underfloor heating systems

• Easy to clean

• Contract grade and durable

• Made from sustainable materials

• Contributes to a circular economy

• Sleek designs and inspiring colorways

The best way to clean any rug is to keep it clean in the first place. Time-tested practices like installing an entry way mat at entrances and removing shoes before entering the space go a long way toward keeping dirt, dust, and soil out of the rug or carpet. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only vacuum (no beater bar) reduces the build up of dirt and soil that could lead to stains. And of course, prompt attention to spills are a must for keeping your investment looking great. All Rols rugs come with thorough cleaning guidelines, including intensive cleaning and stain removal tips.
