solution-dyed carpet that has the Stainproof for Life warranty logo identified on its samples or on
its product information sheet on the Beaulieu Canada website.
STAINPROOF HOUSEHOLD PETS (IDENTIFIED BY LOGO)
Beaulieu Canada warrants that the surface pile of any carpet marked with the Stainproof
Household Pets logo will resist stains from pet (domestic dog or cat) urine, feces and
vomit for the life of the carpet from the original date of installation. Stain resistance
means the ability of your carpet pile to resist (i.e. minimize or withstand) permanent
stains. Cleaning of the affected portion should begin immediately upon discovery. The
more time that elapses before removal, the more difficult a stain will be to remove. If
permanent staining should occur that cannot be removed using recommended methods, Beaulieu Canada
may, at its sole discretion, elect to have the affected portion of the carpet cleaned professionally.
EXCLUSIONS
This warranty excludes damage or stains caused by any vomit, feces, or urine other than from pets
(domestic dog and cat). Pet urine, feces and vomit can erode and destroy carpet backing, resulting
in carpet delamination which is not covered under this warranty. This warranty applies to above-
mentioned stains only and does not cover resistance to odors. Other pet accidents such as tearing,
cutting, chewing or damage of similar nature are not covered under this warranty. This warranty
applies only to solution-dyed carpet that has the Stainproof Household Pets logo identified on its
samples or on its product information sheet on the Beaulieu Canada website.
REMINDER: While a carpet with this feature is inherently stain resistant, some staining may still occur,
especially over time and in high-traffic areas. This feature will enhance your ability to clean up stains,
not prevent stains. Depending on the type of substance causing the stain, removal may require
substantial repeated cleanings, and some stains may not be removable.
SOIL RESISTANCE
Beaulieu Canada guarantees the surface pile will not have a noticeable color change (less than 3.0 using
the AATCC Grey Scale) due to deposits of dry soil resulting from normal, indoor household foot traffic
during the period specified by the warranty, from the original purchase date, provided the carpet is
installed according to the latest version of the CRI Carpet Installation Standard and maintained in
accordance with Beaulieu Canada's recommendations. Please note that lighter colors will show soiling
more than darker colors and will require more frequent maintenance to retain their appearance.
EXCLUSIONS
This warranty excludes any carpets treated with a silicone based anti-soil treatment post
installation, improper maintenance or damage due to the application of improper cleaning agents
(any chemicals that are not approved by the Carpet and Rug Institute for carpet cleaning) or any
carpets not maintained in accordance with Beaulieu Canada's recommendations.
FADE RESISTANCE
Beaulieu Canada warrants that its carpets will not significantly change in color as a result of exposure to
light during the period specified by the warranty (up to lifetime for 100% solution-dyed carpet). Significant
change in color is defined as a rating of less than 3.0 on the AATCC Grey Scale for evaluating change in
color (1.0 = more change, 5.0 = less change).
