ALWAYS HAVE SCOTCH GUARD PROTECTION APPLIED TO YOUR CARPET
Uneducated, and uninformed carpet cleaners cause confusion by misrepresenting the need for carpet protection. Nylon stain-resist carpets have two protective properties: The first is an acid dye blocker that is basically a clear dye that fills the extra dye sites in a fiber. This helps to keep "foreign" dyes (such as red dye in a beverage) from penetrating the carpet fiber. The second property is called a "fluorochemical". It is commonly known as 3M Scotchgard® This treatment helps keep spillage from actually getting to the acid dye blocker, but its biggest job is to resist dry soil.
By resisting dry soil, less soil bonds to the carpet, therefore being picked up by your vacuum. Sufficient amounts of protector on your carpet will help keep the soil from bonding to the carpet. Once it bonds to the carpet, it acts like sandpaper on your traffic area. Once the traffic area yarns are broken down, there is no way to bring them back to their original state.
TWO REASONS THAT FACTORY PROTECTOR IS REMOVED FROM A CARPET
1. Regular foot traffic. Over a period of 6 months to 2 years depending on the traffic, a significant amount of protector can be removed from your traffic areas and needs to be reapplied.
2. High alkaline cleaner. Uneducated carpet cleaners use the wrong chemicals on the carpet that will strip it's protection. If this happens, you need the carpet re-protected.
FOUR REASONS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS GET SCOTCH GUARD CARPET PROTECTION
1. Reduces permanent stains
A great looking carpet can be ruined by an ugly spot. Unprotected carpet doesn't repel spillage as well as protected carpet. Being able to remove spots and spills more effectively you can avoid permanent staining.
2. Helps save your traffic areas from becoming destroyed
Traffic area soil is very abrasive and cuts carpet yarns like a knife. This damaging soil can easily bond to an unprotected carpet. By applying protector, you will increase the life of your carpet. Vacuuming protected carpet will release soil more effectively.
3. Make spots easier to remove
The easier a spot is to remove, the less cleaner you will have to use. That means less agitation and less time. Many spots can be removed with just water.
4. Makes your next professional cleaning more effective
Having protector applied to your carpet will enhance your next cleaning. More soil will be removed the next time your carpeting is professionally cleaned.
The result of having protector applied to your carpet is that your carpet will look better and last longer.
