Five Reasons You Should Always Apply Carpet Protector:
1. Your carpet will look better and last longer when it is protected.
2. By applying DuPont Teflon Advanced Protector, you will increase the life expectancy of your carpet dramatically. The soils will release much more effectively when you vacuum between professional cleanings.
3. Spots are easier to remove. The easier a spot is to remove, the less cleaner, agitation & time is required. Many spots can be removed easily with just water.
4. Reduces wear and assists in preventing 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.
5. Reduces permanent stains. A great looking carpet can be ruined by an ugly spot. Unprotected carpet does not repel spillage as well as protected carpet. DuPont Teflon Advanced Protector will allow you to remove spots and spills more effectively, therefore helping you to avoid permanent staining.
FAQ's Regarding Carpet Protection
How does DuPont Teflon Advanced carpet protector work?
Applied to the carpet, it provides an effective protective treatment by surrounding each individual carpet fiber with an invisible shield. DuPont’s protector improves the fibers resistance to oil and water based stains, as well as soiling from everyday use.
How long does the protection from DuPont’s protector last?
Under normal conditions and with reasonable care, the protector will provide long lasting benefits. Research has shown that DuPont’s protector is very durable to foot traffic. However, performance will diminish somewhat over time and with each cleaning. The protector should be reapplied by a professional carpet cleaner after each cleaning. Reapplying after every cleaning can enhance the protective properties of the treatment.
Why doesn’t water bead up on protected carpet?
Some carpet fibers may not exhibit the beading characteristic typically linked to DuPont’s protector. This can be made by spaces between loosely woven carpet piles. This does not affect the stain and soil resistance of DuPont’s protector application. The liquid can be easily blotted up even if it does not bead up.
Does DuPont’s protector waterproof my carpet?
The protector is not intended to be made as a waterproofing agent for carpet. However, it will provide improved resistance to water-based substances.
Is DuPont carpet protector safe for children and pets?
Yes. All of the chemicals we use are eco-friendly, pet friendly and child friendly. DuPont’s carpet cleaning products go through extensive testing and have been safely made for use in homes for more than 20 years.
Does DuPont carpet protector have an odor?
The carpet protector is odorless. Once applied to carpet, it does not release any chemicals into the air. However other components in newly manufactured and installed carpet may cause an odor for a short time. Proper ventilation will minimize this.
How should carpet treated with DuPont protector be cleaned?
Regular vacuuming is essential. The protector helps keep dry soil and oily residues from sticking to the carpet fibers. This makes routine vacuuming more efficient and delays the need for cleaning.
