Carpet Protector: What is it and what does it do for your carpets
Carpet & Fabric Protectors give you an “Invisible Shield.” It replaces and enhances factory stain protection and extends the life and cleaning cycles of fabrics and carpets. These “Invisible Shields” improve fibers’ resistance to oil-and water-based stains, as well as soiling from everyday use. Under “normal” conditions and with reasonable care, carpet & fabric protectors will provide long lasting benefits. Research has shown that carpet protector is very durable to foot traffic. However, performance will diminish somewhat over time with each steam cleaning.
Scotchgard products are flurochemical treatments developed by 3M. Applied at the mill, or following manufacture by a Licensed applicator, they provide an effective protective treatment by surrounding each individual fiber with an invisible shield. Scotchgard Protector improves the fibers resistance to oil and water-based stains, as well as soiling from everyday use.
A professional carpet cleaner should reapply Carpet Protector after each cleaning. Reapplying after every cleaning can only enhance the protective properties of the treatment.
Vacuuming
In addition, regular vacuuming is essential. Carpet protector helps keep dry soil and oily residues from sticking to the carpet fibers. This makes routine vacuuming more efficient and delays the need for a general steam cleaning. Our cleaning technician can give you a free estimate at the time of your cleaning.
