Do I need Carpet Protectant?

Do I Need Carpet Protectant?

When good quality carpets leave the mill, they already have protector applied, but no protector is permanent. It wears off or is weakened from:    
                *Age and everyday foot traffic
                *Harsh cleaning and spotting agents
                *Deodorizing and disinfecting sprays
                *Ozone and other pollutants

HOW TO DEAL WITH INEVITABLE SPILLS ON YOUR CARPET…


We’ve all had it happen~
Whether it’s a dropped plate on the way to the dinner table, orange juice spilled at breakfast, those red wine spots from last nights impromptu gathering… accidents do happen, so try not to get too upset. Follow these guidelines, and you have a better chance of getting your carpets looking good again.

Act Immediately!  Today, most carpet available has been treated with a stain-resist treatment.  Many spills can be removed or considerably reduced if immediate action is taken. The longer the delay, the higher the probability of a spill becoming a permanent stain. Remember, staining is influenced by many factors, and no carpet is completely stain proof.
Dab liquids with a dry, white, absorbent cloth or white (no printing) paper towels. It’s important not to use printed or dyed towels for this, especially if you’ve got lighter colored carpets, transfer does happen! White terry cloth or microfiber towels are great to have on hand for this purpose.
Blot – Don’t Scrub the area! Scrubbing can cause pile distortion. Continue to use a white cloth or paper towels until the area is completely dry. For semi-solids, gently scrape up with a spoon. Break up and vacuum solids away.
Googling stain treatments can be tempting, but remember that a carpet is a big investment~ in order to keep it looking great for longer, sometimes you just have to call a professional. Some home remedies and ‘tricks’ can actually set the spot, turning it into a permanent stain that can be expensive, or worse still, impossible to remove. Find a reputable Carpet Cleaner in your local area, and ask them for a free, no obligation quote.

DIY SPOT CLEANING PROCEEDURE

DIY SPOT CLEANING PROCEEDURE

There is a right way and a wrong way to cleanup accidental spills on your carpet. What you should not do is just as important as what you should do. Today's new carpets resist spots much better than those manufactured even a few years ago. However, they are still susceptible to spots and should be treated quickly to avoid a permanent stain.  Carpet Technologies offers this free advice for your carpet cleaning and spotting needs.  Carpet Technologies Carpet Cleaning serves: Nashville TN, Brentwood TN, Franklin TN, Spring Hill TN and other surrounding areas.

STEP 1: Blot up as much of the spill as you can. Make sure you blot- don't scrub. Scrubbing will only work the spill deeper into the fiber and may leave a wear mark. Use a white paper or white cotton towel to blot. Fold the towel and press it into the spill. Rotate the towel often so a clean surface is always against the carpet. Continue to blot until no more of the spill transfers to the towel. Remove any solid material with a rounded spoon or the edge of a dull knife.

STEP 2: Cover the blotted area with a fresh white towel. Weight the towel with something that will not transfer color to the carpet or towel. Leave this in place for 15-20 minutes to remove any remaining spill. Should the carpet remain stained, go to step 3.

STEP 3: Spotting the remaining stain in your carpet requires care and patience. You cannot apply most household cleaners to the stain without further damaging the carpet. Many common cleaners contain dyes that will discolor the carpet or chemicals that will permanently set the stain. If you can locate the literature you received when you bought the carpet it should contain the spotting procedures for you to follow. All of Carpet Technologies client receives a free bottle of specially formulated spot remover,  or you can attempt to remove most common household spills with the following procedure. Mix a 1-2 drops of colorless, mild detergent in a cup of lukewarm water. To test the safety of the solution, apply several drops to an inconspicuous area (closet, under a sofa) and rub gently with a clean white towel. Do not proceed if the carpet color transfers to the towel or if the carpet color changes. Try an alternate cleaner or call a professional. If the test is successful, spot the stain by alternately applying a few drops of cleaner followed by blotting. Always blot, never scrub. Work from the outer edge of the stain to the center. Continue this process until the stain is gone or no more color transfers to the white towel. The final step is to gently rinse the area with clear water, then absorb all the remaining moisture with absorbent towels.

Should a stain persist, contact Carpet Technologies for assistance. We may be able to offer further advice by phone, or if necessary, we'll dispatch a technician with a complete spotting kit to remove the stain.
