If your carpet is in an area that sees a moderate amount of traffic, chances are, accidents will happen. You could say that the odds are against the carpet in this scenario. So what can you do to fight the possibility of staining and dirt accumulation?
After we're done cleaning your carpet, we'll look to apply a special protective solution to the surface. Lots of carpet owners aren't even aware of such a thing's existence, and even if they were, they might be wary of such substances. Scotchgard carpet protection is actually an incredibly effective way to boost the carpet's natural defenses and make any future incidents more manageable.
Without Scotchgard protection, your carpet will be completely vulnerable to subsequent staining and gathering of filth after we leave. Even the best cleaning job can't prevent future accidents from happening, nor can you – only a protective substance will do the trick.
We don't just apply carpet protection after a cleaning job, however. Since it's a separate service, we've gotten requests from clients with carpets in good condition who just want to have that extra insurance. We're always pleased to see our clients being sensible about their rugs in such a way.
After the Scotchgard protective agent is applied throughout the surface, you'll be treated to a sigh of relief knowing that the carpet is much less vulnerable than it previously was. The chemical will stop fluids from getting past a certain point, as well as slowing down the rate at which it penetrates subsequent layers. Thanks to this, you won't be needing us to deal with your stains as much – it will often be a simple matter of vacuuming or blotting out the irritant.
There's a good deal of brands manufacturing carpet protection out there, all promising to do the same job with equal success. Picking the right one can be difficult for a first-timer, while picking the wrong one could spell disaster. To make matters even more confusing, each brand has at least a few specific types of products, each better suited for different jobs. We generally use Scotchgard, as it's considered to be the best in the biz. Our technicians will make sure to use the correct product based on the material of your carpet and its color. We don't want your fabric damaged; we want to protect it.
Another reason why you shouldn't look to apply carpet protection yourself is the complexity of the application process. While it might not seem that way at first glance, applying the substance is a delicate art. Apply too much on certain spots, and you might inflict damage on them. Apply too little, and you might be robbing your carpet of proper protection. With years of experience in the field, our experts have the right moves and will create a perfect layer of protection across the entire surface.Did we also mention we offer to do this on upholstery as well? Due to its thickness and density, upholstery is usually even more vulnerable than carpets, making protection a great idea. If you've got an eye on the future, don't hesitate to call us.
