Taking good care of your carpets will extend the life span of your flooring by keeping it clean and attractive for years. When you get a professional carpet cleaning service, ask for your team to finish off the cleaning with an application of Scotchgard™. Here’s why this extra cost will pay off in how it protects your floors.

What Is It?

Scotchgard is a line of fluorochemical products designed to protect everything from fabric and upholstery to carpet and area rugs. When applied to a carpet, the chemicals attach to the flooring fibers, coating them with a non-stick surface. That protective coating stops the fibers from absorbing dirt and bacteria as well as water, oil, and other liquids. This coating minimizes soil build-up and makes liquid bead up on top of the carpet, making for easy cleanup and durable stain resistance.

Our expectations of Scotchgard need to be reasonable.  This product does not make the carpet invincible to where it can not stain.  Scotchgard has its limitations.  If a colored liquid spills and is left on the carpet it will still stain the carpet. Scotchgard just gives more time for the home owner to clean it up before this becomes a problem.

Why Do I Need It?

Knowledgeable carpet cleaning services recommend Scotchgard for a variety of reasons. First, the extra layer of protection it provides will make your carpet less susceptible to fiber damage, especially in the high-traffic areas that get a lot of dirt and spills. Whether it’s the dogs tracking in mud or a spilled drink, you no longer need to panic.

Scotchgard also makes flooring easier to vacuum or wipe up by keeping allergens and dirt on the surface of the carpet. This improves your indoor air quality, as the carpet fibers won’t trap those allergens you don’t want your family breathing.
