i'm a professional too ( 15 yrs )..... that isn't necessarily true, but in
most cases yes. after cleaning a carpet, if there is scotchgard on the
carpet, by cleaning it, you are probably removing about 50 % of it. this is
if the carpet is being cleaned properly and on a regular basis ( recommended
that it be done every 6 mos ).

I've been to the courses put on by the governing
bodies of honest and ethical carpet cleaners in
the U.S. At these courses the subject of
scotchguard comes up often. From what I have
been told and through all of the reading and
studying I have done, I have come to this
conclusion. Carpet manufacturers recommend that
you reapply the protection after cleaning. More
importantly, the cleaner should know how old your
carpet is and whether or not it has a stain
protection applied to it from the manufacturer.
This tells the cleaner what type of pre-
conditioning agent he should use. If he dosn't
ask you these important questions it is entirely
possible that by using the wrong conditioner that
he has wiped out the protection all together. To
make a long story, or explanation, short common
sense would tell me that if I still had an active
warranty on the stain treatment. I don't think I
would worry too much about the added protection.
Call the customer service department of the
manufacturer of the stain treatment and get their
opinion. As long as the scotchguard is applied
correctly, you have made a godd and wise
investment for your money. Keep your carpets
cleaned every 6-12 months. Asking for a
maintenance agreement would bring the cost down
somewhat. I hope I haven't given you too much to
chew on. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any
other questions on carpet cleaning, or installing
and choosing the right contractor for the job.> >

What about using a "commercial" cleaning product such as Woolite Carpet
Cleaner or 409, et. al.??? Do those affect the protection as well.
For everyday spot cleaning, what would be a good "store" bought cleaning
product? Is one better or worse than another and do they are work as
well?

to a degree this is true. Slowly the carpet protectant is coming off. Once it
is gone your carpet is exposed to stains. Your cleaner is just playing it safe
for you. But do let them put it on the entire carpet. The stain guard only
comes off in the trafic area. Some cleaning solution can take the stain guard
off but thats rare. e-mail me at ethan...@hotmail.com for any mor questions.

i agree, if you for example are using products that have a PH balance of
over 10, yer lookin' at trouble, make sure you know what PH balance it is or
you can void your warrenty . i do believe stain protectants are very
necessary, just not one's that are included in with a "over the counter"
spot cleaner, it needs to be done professionally.

Ira,
Scotchguard will wear off over time but is unlikely to wear off immediately
with a water wash. The thing to do is judge for yourself when the job is
done, scotchguarding can be done at any time.

Companies and other facilities need to maintain cleanliness, and to do so, they must order general cleaning upon their personnel. However, rug cleaning is not an easy task; that is why they must hire a professional cleaner, which makes https://carpetcleaningincoronadelmar.com/ the best investment to choose.
