Doesnt Scotchgard cause furnishings to re-soil faster?
Some our clients have heard that Scotchgard is not only ineffective but that it actually causes furnishings to soil faster than their untreated counterparts! That is ironic to us because the main reason we recommend Scotchgard protection is because we have found it is very effective at impeding re-soiling! Applied properly, Scotchgard coats each little fiber with a clear seal that wraps around its nooks and crannies. This seal will resist soil from penetrating each tiny individual fiber! The soil will not be as likely to bond and thus can more easily be picked up with an ordinary vacuum. Your carpets and furniture will stay cleaner longer with Scotchgard protection. In addition, the protectant will help resist stains, spills and spots-sometimes in dramatic beading fashion! It is important however to clean up all spills immediately and to maintain regular vacuuming even after Scotchgarding. Soil is abrasive and if not removed will eventually break even Scotchgards invisible barrier.
