Protecting your carpet and upholstery…
Once your carpets are clean, you will want to protect it! This is essential in prolonging the life of your carpets! We here at Carpet Dry-Tech will only use the best product proven in the industry for your carpets! The popularity of Dupont’s Teflon® is largely due to the stain resistant qualities it has. Most people enjoy the confidence of knowing that if they spill something, it can easily be dabbed off of carpet or material with a damp sponge or cloth. Dupont Teflon® carpet protectant gives you the added assurance that your carpets will be professionally maintained and the possibility of permanent stains drastically reduced.
Teflon® can also add life to your carpets as well. By sealing the fibers, it can make vacuuming more effective. When soil and dirt are introduced to your carpet and furniture materials, they act as an abrasive enemy. Soil will actually wear the fibers as you walk and move on them. Teflon® prevents the soil from becoming lodged, or entangled, in the fibers themselves, and makes it easier to vacuum soil particles away.
Aside from the abrasive nature of soil, a certain degree of color transfer occurs. Much like having a “fender bender” in your car and having paint transfer colors from one vehicle to the next. Soil will transfer it’s color to the fibers of your carpet (which is mostly due to footwear). This is why heavy traffic areas seem to have a darker color to them. Even though soil can be removed, it may have already transferred color to the fibers. Protect your carpets from “Old Age” by putting a barrier between the fibers and the dirt.
Frequency of Fiber protection…
One proper application of Dupont Teflon® will last you for hundreds of vacuuming’s and approximately two additional carpet cleanings. Our professional recommendation is to apply Teflon® after your ‘Initial cleaning’. If You then have an average of two more (Re-)cleanings throughout the year (which is recommended), your carpets will remain protected for the entire year and will not need to be reapplied until your next ‘Initial cleaning’.
Consumer Alert!
Shaw Industries and DuPont StainMaster, among other carpet manufacturing companies, are now requiring that in order to maintain their warranties, the consumer’s carpets must be cleaned (at least) annually by a certified professional carpet cleaning technician, as well as reapplying a fiber protector. Carpet Dry-Tech will help you in maintaining your carpet warranty(s).
