Applying a protectant to a freshly cleaned carpet is an important and integral part of maintaining the life of your carpets and upholstery. The majority of carpets produced today have a protectant applied at the mill. Most people believe the main purpose of a protectant is to prevent staining, although this is a part of the benefit, it is not the biggest advantage or the main purpose. Carpets are protected from the mill to greatly reduce wear and tear of the carpet fibers, from the soils we drag into them. This is a large part as to why many manufactures are giving out 10 year wear warranties. Soil simply can not get into a sealed fiber and turn it into those useless tuffs that fill your vacuum bags, like an unprotected fiber. A protected carpet will allow your vacuum to pull out 28-35% more dust and dirt particles every time you vacuum Another big plus is that it is great at preventing many spill and spots from being permanent stains. No stain protectant is 100% stain proof, so some things will permanently stain even the most protected fiber, depending on the temperature, amount and type of spill.
We use only use premium cleaning products this also applies to our protectants. We use Prochem FourGuard, application of FourGuard Carpet Protector helps enhance the carpet’s stain resistance which is gradually worn by everyday traffic and soil. It also applies a fluorocarbon protector which resists soil and makes the carpet easier to clean.
