CARPET PROTECTION HELPS PREVENT PERMANENT STAINS!
To enhance Pro-Care’s cleaning services, we offer Pro-Seal Carpet Protector, providing the best defense for your carpet. This carpet protector application guards against common stains, spills, and soiling that come with daily wear and tear. From pet stains to wine spills, coffee, grass, blood, and more—Pro-Seal provides reliable protection. It consists of two key protective layers:
Acid Dye Blocker: This clear dye fills the extra dye sites in carpet fibers, preventing foreign dyes (like red beverages) from penetrating.
Fluorochemical: This treatment resists dry soil damage and slows down the migration of spills to the acid dye blocker. While not mandatory after every cleaning, applying Pro-Seal regularly can help maximize your carpet’s lifespan.
Two Main Ways Carpet Protector Wears Off:
1. Foot Traffic: Over 6 months to 2 years, depending on usage, protector in high-traffic areas can wear away and should be reapplied.
2. Harsh Cleaners: Some carpet cleaners use high-alkaline products that can strip the carpet’s protective layer.
Note: Professional cleanings every 12–18 months help protect your carpet’s warranty. As long as cleaners use the proper pH-balanced solutions and follow manufacturer guidelines, reapplying protector after every cleaning may not be necessary.
Four Mistakes Other Cleaners Make In Applying Carpet Protector:
1. Using low-quality protector: Discount products can be ineffective and may even void your carpet warranty. Pro-Care only uses top-quality, recommended protectors.
2. Contaminated containers: Some cleaners use the same container for multiple products, contaminating the protector. At Pro-Care of Cookeville, we use dedicated containers for carpet protector only.
3. Incorrect application: Under-application doesn’t cover carpet fibers adequately, while over-application can leave the carpet stiff. Our technicians are thoroughly trained to apply the perfect amount.
4. Skipping the grooming process: Grooming the protector into the carpet ensures even distribution and proper penetration, allowing for maximum protection. Pro-Care grooms every application for the best results.
Six Reasons to Always Apply Carpet Protector:
1. Prevents permanent stains: Without protection, spills are harder to remove and more likely to cause lasting damage. Carpet protector allows you to clean spills more effectively, reducing the risk of permanent stains.
2. Protects high-traffic areas: The soil in heavily used areas is abrasive, and unprotected carpets can wear down quickly. Carpet protector keeps soil from bonding to the fibers, extending your carpet’s life.
3. Makes spots easier to remove: Protected carpets make spot cleaning easier. Often, water alone can remove a spill without needing extra cleaning solutions or scrubbing.
4. Enhances professional cleaning results: Carpet protector improves the effectiveness of your next professional cleaning, allowing for better soil removal.
5. Reduces costly service calls: While we’re always here to help, carpet protector enables you to handle some spots on your own, potentially saving you a service call.
6. Keeps your carpet looking great for longer: Regularly applying carpet protection ensures your carpet remains vibrant and lasts longer.
