Rug Fiber Protector Benefits

Protector improves your rug fibers’ resistance to oil and water based stains.  Spills will blot up easier.  Stains on rugs will release easier with professional cleaning to prevent permanent stains. 

Your rug will resist soiling so it stays cleaner longer.  Protector creates an invisible shield around the fiber to keep dirt from sticking to it. 

Vacuuming will more effectively remove soil.

Because of the above reasons, you won’t need to have your rug professionally cleaned as often.  

All types of fibers benefit.

• • Synthetic fibers such as: Polyester, Nylon, Olefin.
  • Natural protein fibers such as: Wool, Silk. 
  • Cellulosic fibers such as: Cotton, Linen, Jute Sisal, Hemp, Sea Grass, Rayon, Viscose, Tencel, Bamboo/Art Silk 

How is Protector Applied?

A solvent based fluorochemical protector is applied following the manufacturers directions.  It is applied by a dedicated electric sprayer with consistent pressure.  After application, we groom the protector into the fibers to ensure proper distribution and contact with all fiber surfaces.  Proper application is important to ensure maximum protection. 

How Often Does Protector Need Applied?

Protection is recommended for new rug purchases and after each professional cleaning.   Over time, with use and foot traffic, protection will dissipate and wear off over time.  Similar to waxing your car or applying clear coat over fingernail polish,  rug protector provides many benefits. 

Is Protector “Bulletproof”?

After application your rug will not be “bulletproof.”  Dirt and liquids will not levitate over the carpet.  But along with regular vacuuming and prompt clean up of spills, it will improve the stain and soil resistance.  Spend more time enjoying life and peace of mind, instead of cleaning up.  If you want your rugs to look better and last longer, apply protector.
