that cannot be removed using the recommended carpet cleaning and
maintenance procedures listed in this brochure, or provided otherwise
by Beaulieu for the warranty period specied on your authorized
Beaulieu carpet dealer’s sample. All carpet can appear to change color
due to dry soil accumulation. Noticeable color change is dened as a
change greater than a rating of three (3) using the standardized AATCC
Evaluation Procedure 1 and Gray Scale for Color Change Standardized
Rating Scale, or equivalent. Proper color selection is an essential con-
sideration since lighter colored carpets will show soiling more readily
than darker colored carpets, and will require greater care and more fre-
quent maintenance. For a complete list of warranty exclusions please

Limited Lifetime Soil Resistant Warranty
What is covered?
Beaulieu warrants that your carpet will not show a noticeable change in
color resulting from dry soil that cannot be removed using the recom-
mended carpet cleaning and maintenance procedures listed in this
brochure. Proper vacuuming and cleaning will enable your carpet to be
cleaned more thoroughly. Soil resistance is the ability of your carpet to
resist, withstand, and minimize retention of common dry household
soils during the lifetime of your carpet. Light colored carpet will show
soiling more readily than darker colored carpet and will require greater
care and more frequent maintenance. Noticeable color change is dened
as a change greater than a rating of 3 on the AATCC Standardized Eval-
uation Procedure, using the grey scale for color change. Your carpet is
protected by Scotchgard™ Protector. A toll free 800-550-6033 phone
