Carpet Protector

Imagine spilling red wine, coffee, or spaghetti and not being terribly mortified of what just happened! We can help prevent those common mishaps from permanently ruining your carpet or upholstered furniture with the application of the proper protection. This protection can be applied on carpet, upholstery, in vehicles, and even mattresses.

How does protector work?

This protection is a liquid-based plastic that acts as an adhesive to your carpet's fibers. Once something is dropped, the carpet pile will not absorb the stain, in fact, the carpet repels it. Having protection, not only prevents stains but also wear and tear on your carpet and is easier to keep your carpets clean thus avoiding expensive measures in the future. To explain further in detail,  Scotchguard protection resists dry soil which means less soil sticks to the carpet fiber.Each time someone walks on the carpet, soil acts as sandpaper toward carpet fibers, so if scotchguard protection is applied, wear and tear is significantly reduced since no soil is bonded to the fiber.

How Often should I apply carpet protection?

There are 2 ways carpet protection is removed from your carpet.

1. Regular foot traffic. Over a period of 6 months to 2 years, depending on the traffic, a great amount of protection is removed from the fiber it was applied to just from everyday use.
2. High alkaline cleaner. Uneducated, Uncertified carpet cleaners use harsh chemicals on the carpet that will remove its protection.

5 More Important Reasons To Choose Carpet Protection Every Time

1. Reduces permanent stains.
   Unprotected carpet doesn't repel spillage as well as protected carpet. Protector will allow you to remove spots and spills more effectively, therefore helping you to avoid permanent staining.
2. Helps save your traffic areas from becoming destroyed.
   As mentioned traffic area soil is very abrasive and cuts carpet yarns like a saw. 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 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 should call Preferred Carpet Care to handle any spots/spills you are unable to remove immediately, carpet protector aids you in removing more spots than you could without it. You may be able to save a minimum charge by removing the spot yourself.

Be sure to ask for carpet or upholstery protection when scheduling your appointment and if you still have any doubts, ask one of Preferred Carpet Care’s technicians to give you a demonstration on how it works.
