WHICH TYPE WORKS BEST?
While there are many different brands of stain protectors in use in today's market, you should trust your carpet and fine fabrics only to the best the industry has to offer. A dilute mixture of a fluorochemical product offers the best protection. Some products also contain an acid dye blocker so that vibrant food colors like those found in Kool Aid will clean up easily. When properly mixed and applied, this is the most effective product for most fabrics. Proper application involves using an electric or battery-powered sprayer maintaining 35 - 50 psi. It is then raked into the fibers and down to the carpet backing. This is the manufacturer's recommended application process. Proper use and application of the product are critical to its success.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Stain protection is a valuable treatment equally important as cleaning your carpet. When properly applied to carpet fibers, it provides soil and stain resistance to any type of carpet. But don't stop with just carpet. Stain protection is just as effective for draperies, upholstery, bedspreads, even clothing and neckties! Beware of gimmicks and low prices. These may be a sign of an inferior product that will not provide the expected results. As is so often true, you get what you pay for in this area. Trust your carpets and fine fabrics to the best product in the industry. At a modest cost for the product and its application, the benefits far outweigh the cost. Ask your expert carpet cleaner about a warranty for the product that further ensures your satisfaction.
You'll be glad you did.
