What Carpet & Upholstery Protection does
Carpet and upholstery protection has been around for years and was most commonly referred to as Scotchgard. As more companies entered the market most carpet cleaning service companies started referring to these solutions as either carpet or upholstery protection. The idea is to provide a thin layer of protection that covers the surface of the carpet fibers (the same applies for furniture). This thin layer helps prevent dirt embedded in your carpet from grinding directly against the fibers. It also helps repel spills and prevent the colors and dyes from entering the carpet fibers which can cause permanent stains.
Is Carpet & Upholstery Protection right for me
Carpet and Upholstery protection is something that should be considered when your carpet and furniture is in good condition or fairly new. Using protection will help with maintenance and increase the life of your carpet and upholstery (some people refer to carpet and upholstery protection as the life blood). The other important factor to look at when considering protection is what rooms and furniture gets the most traffic and are there locations that are more likely to have spills. This can help save money while providing protection for key areas in your home.
We do not recommend protection in most cases with old carpet or upholstery that is going to be replaced in the next couple of years or when items already have significant wear and damage. The other important factor when considering carpet protection is cost. If you need your carpet cleaned but are on a budget and have limited traffic wear and are unlikely to have spills it may be worth considering holding off on the carpet protection until the next cleaning. The important thing to remember is that steam cleaning will remove any current carpet protection that is on the carpet. This means that if there are drink spills there is a much greater chance of staining occurring. However as we stated before many customers choose key areas and pieces of furniture instead of having everything protected.
