Carpet Protection
Carpet protection is a fundamental part of carpet cleaning. With damage occurring to your carpet with every step from sand and grit scratching your carpet fibers, it’s understandable why carpet seems to wear out so quickly! Nearly all modern carpet is manufactured with a built in stain inhibitor and wear protection, however, over time this wears away and should be replaced.
At Contour Cleaning we always suggest re-applying this carpet protection back onto your carpet after a cleaning. It will add years of life and help resist many of those common stains that can be prevented. It also help greatly reduce the formation of traffic patterns within a home, allowing it to look and feel cleaner.
We offer multiple options of carpet protection depending on your budget and house traffic. For premium carpet protection we always suggest 3M Scotchgard. Scotchgard will help avoid nasty stains by using it’s teflon style coating to add a barrier between your carpet fibers and contaminants. We also offer GreenGuard which is more budget friendly and does a great job of protecting your carpet, although not lasting quite as long as Scotchgard in our experience. This is normally not an issue when carpets are regularly cleaned every year or so, as much of the protection is removed during steam cleaning and it should be re-applied regardless.
Should I Use Carpet Protection In My Home?
The short answer is, yes! It is a great investment any time you have children or indoor pets, as carpet protection not only keeps your floors looking great, but also extends the life of the carpet.
