CARPET & FABRIC PROTECTOR 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 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, uninformed and sometimes downright unscrupulous carpet
cleaners use harsh chemicals on the carpet that will strip its
protection. If one of these rascals has been in your house, you may want
to have the carpet re-protected. 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. 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. 5 Reasons You Should 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 cleanly 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. Clean
