Carpet & Fabric Protector
Lundstrom Carpet Care offers their Salt Lake City, UT clients a quality protector product for carpet and fine fabrics.
A nylon stain-resist carpet is made with two protective properties: The first is an acid dye blocker that is basically a clear dye that fills the extra dye sites in a fiber. This helps to keep "foreign" dyes (such as red dye in a beverage) from penetrating the carpet fiber. The second property is called a "fluorochemical". It is commonly know as 3M Scotchgard or DuPont Teflon. This treatment helps keep spillage from actually getting to the acid dye blocker, but its biggest job is to resist dry soil.
Two Primary Ways That Factory Protector is Removed From a Carpet...
- 1. Regular foot traffic.
- Over a period of 6 months to 2 years, depending on the traffic, a significant amount of protector can be removed from you traffic areas and needs to be reapplied.
- 2. High alkaline cleaner.
- Some carpet cleaning companies use high-alkaline cleaners that will strip your carpet of its protection. If these types of cleaning products have been used on your carpet you will want to get the carpet re-protected.
Five Reasons You Should Always Get Carpet Protector...
- 1. Reduces permanent stains.
- A great looking carpet can be ruined by an ugly spot. Unprotected carpet doesn't repel spills as well as protected carpet. Being able to remove spots and spills more effectively, you can avoid permanent staining.
- 2. Helps save your traffic areas from becoming destroyed.
- Traffic area soil is very abrasive and cuts carpet yarns like a knife. 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 cleaner you will have to use, 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 carpet is professionally cleaned.
- 5. Helps avoid costly service calls.
- Although you want to call us out to handle any spot you cannot remove immediately, a carpet protector helps you remove more spots than you could without proetctor. You may be able to save a minimum charge by removing the spot yourself.
The result of having protector applied to your carpet is that your carpet will look better and last longer!
