Why Should I Use Carpet Protectant?
Carpet protectant provides both short an long-term benefits. The purpose of a carpet protectant is to provide short-term stain resistance, allowing more time to clean up a fresh spill. After application, the protectants adhere to the carpet fibers and help to repel dirt and moisture. Basically, it acts as an invisible shield for your carpet – similar to the clear coat of paint that protects a new car’s paint.
The long-term benefit is that it helps to keep dirt from settling down into your carpet. Carpet protectants definitely do not act as a cure-all, but they do help to create more time for cleaning wet spills before they become stains.

How Often Should I Use Carpet Protectant?
Typically, brand new carpet has some type of protectant on it; so you don’t need to treat brand new carpet for the first several years. After that, however, it is recommended that carpet protectant be applied to your carpet every 18-24 months. While the product does not necessarily stop working, it does tend to wear off over time. Areas with a lot of traffic will need to be treated more often and low traffic areas will need less frequent treatment.
