Protectors help keep your home cleaner, fresher,
brighter,.. longer.
5 Reasons to Always Get Carpet Protector
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 dramatically. When you vacuum
your protected carpet the soils will release from the
carpet pile much more effectively.
3.
Make
spots easier to remove. The easier a spot is to remove, the
less cleaner you will have to use. The less agitation you
will have to use, and the less time it will take. Many
spots can be removed easily 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.
5.
Helps
avoid costly service calls. Although you want to call us
out to handle any spot you cannot remove immediately,
carpet protector helps you remove more spots than you could
without protector. You may be able to save a minimum charge
by removing the spot yourself.
Carpet and Fabric Protector Notice
Unfortunately there
is probably as much confusion in the carpet cleaning
industry about carpet protectors as there is about
cleaning. Uneducated, uninformed, and sometimes downright
unscrupulous carpet cleaners cause a great deal of
confusion by giving out false information or intentionally
misrepresenting the product.
A nylon stain-resist carpet is made with 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 ® or DuPont Teflon ®. 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 or cleaning.
Making sure that you have a sufficient amount 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.
2 primary ways 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. Many cleaners use
harsh chemicals on the carpet that will strip it’s
factory protection. If you have had your carpet cleaned in
the past, there is a good chance the cleaner that removed a
significant amount of protector. It needs to be reapplied.
4 Mistakes Other Cleaners Make In Applying Protector
1. Not using high quality protector. Discount protectors
are not as effective and sometimes void the warranty of the
carpet. Our Company uses only the highest quality,
recommended protectors.
2. Not using a dedicated container. Using the same
container for carpet protector as other cleaners can
contaminate the carpet protector making it gummy and
ineffective. Our vans have a dedicated container reserved
ONLY for carpet protector.
3. Not applying the product properly. Some cleaners
either under apply or over apply the protector. Under
applying it doesn’t allow for complete penetration on
the carpet yarns. Over applying it causes the carpet to
become overly stiff and crusty. Our Company technicians are
diligently trained for proper application.
4.
Not grooming the carpet. For the best
performance, the product should be groomed into the carpet
for maximum penetration. This ensures contact with all
surfaces of the carpet yarn and proper distribution and
drying. Our Company thoroughly grooms the protector into
the carpet pile.
