Where these two actually differ
- We flag Stain treatment chemical identity (unspecified), Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing and Microfiber shedding and dust accumulation on the Mohawk and not on the Rug Doctor.
- We flag Surfactant skin and eye irritation and Residue buildup on carpet fibers on the Rug Doctor and not on the Mohawk.
- The Mohawk is Nylon/synthetic fiber blend with stain/soil treatment where the Rug Doctor is Aqueous cleaning solution, surfactants, water, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Rug Doctor is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Mohawk grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
