Carpet Protectant
If you have ever wondered if carpet protectant actually works, the answer is yes. Using carpet protectant helps to repel water and resist soiling. When used properly, adding carpet protectant to your carpets the next time you get them professionally cleaned provides great benefits.
It doesn’t cost that much nor does it take time, so it is a wise investment to make for the long product life of your carpet. If you are still not clear whether you should use it, or how to use it, here is some additional information.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF CARPET PROTECTANT?
The purpose of a carpet protectant is to provide short-term water resistance, allowing you more time to clean up a spill. Once applied, these protectants adhere to the carpet fibers and help to repel spills and soiling. Basically, it acts as an invisible shield for your carpet. Giving you more time to clean up a spill before it becomes a permanent stain. This barrier also allows for dry spills to be picked up more easily through vacuuming.
In turn, this helps to eliminate abrasion on the carpet, which is a major cause for carpet to deteriorate. Your carpets will be protected by a powerful invisible protectant.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I APPLY IT?
Typically, a brand new carpet has some type of protectant on it; thus, it’s not necessary to treat brand new carpet for the first 3-4 years. After that, it is recommended that carpet protectant be applied to your carpet every 12-24 months.
While the product does not necessarily quit working, it does tend to wear off over time. Areas with high traffic will need to be treated more frequently, while low traffic areas should need less frequent treatment. To help you with DIY spot cleaning, check out our 6 steps to spot removal guide.
WHERE DO I BUY IT?
While there are a number of carpet protectants on the market, it is wise to leave this maintenance up to a professional carpet cleaner. A trained professional will make sure that your carpet is properly treated and protected.
Next to the cost of your house, your carpeting is the second most expensive investment. Fiber Pro Carpet Cleaning recommends leaving this carpet maintenance to the professionals.
