How do you know for sure when your carpet and upholstery protection is working for you?  Was it worth the extra money you spent on your carpets and upholstery?   How do you know for sure if it was applied right or the product was really DuPont Teflon?  You must have a carpet cleaning company that you can trust to do the job properly. 

What is DuPont?

DuPont innovation is focused on sustainable growth.  DuPont’s vision is to be the world’s most dynamic science company, creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. DuPont innovation can mean, for example, deriving better nutrition from every seed, making photovoltaic modules more efficient in harvesting sunlight on rooftops, or making car armor more affordable to make protection available to more people.  Customers around the world are drawn to DuPont by our innovations, the breadth and depth of our technology, and by our reputation as a serial innovator.

Teflon must be professionally applied by your carpet cleaner. It is applied by spray application, dries quickly, and leaves no odor. It is non-toxic and safe to use around family and pets. It’s CFC- and solvent-free. Applied correctly it gives your carpets and upholstery an invisible shield to protect each fiber as a shield to protect against food, drink spills and even pet urine.  DuPont recommends applying the product after each and every carpet cleaning for best results

Four Mistakes in Applying Protector:

  • Not using high quality protector. Discount protectors are not as effective and sometimes void the carpet warranty.
  • Not using a dedicated container. Using the same container for carpet protector as other cleaners can contaminate the carpet protector making it gummy and ineffective.  
  • Not applying the product properly. Some cleaners either under apply or over apply the protector. Under applying it doesn’t allow for complete penetration of the carpet yarns. Over applying it causes the carpet to become overly stiff and crusty.
  • Not grooming the carpet. For the best performance, the product should be groomed into the carpet for maximum penetration. This ensures contact with all surfaces of the carpet yarn and proper distribution and drying. This is done with a carpet rake. 

Six Reasons You Should Always Get Carpet Protector:

  • Reduces permanent stains. A great looking carpet can be ruined by an ugly spot. Unprotected carpet doesn’t repel spillage as well as protected carpet. Protector will allow you to remove spots and spills more effectively, therefore helping you to avoid permanent staining.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 carpeting is professionally cleaned.
  • Helps avoid costly service calls. Although you want to call us to handle any spot you cannot remove immediately, carpet protector helps you remove more spots than you could without protector. You may be able to save a minimum charge by removing the spot yourself.

Your carpet will look better and last longer when it is protected by Teflon protection.
