Does Scotchguard or Teflon carpet protector really work?
When nylon carpet is manufactured, it is made with a Teflon protective coating to help resist soils and stains. As your carpet is walked on, some of that protective coating is worn away, especially in the high traffic areas. Manufacturers recommend that this Teflon coating be reapplied periodically to help restore the soil and stain repellency qualities of your carpet. In order for this Teflon protector to perform as it is intended, the carpet must first be prepared by removing any soapy residues and properly neutralized, leaving it in a state that the Teflon will readily bond to.
