How does Scotchgard protector Work?
Nylon carpet fibers contain millions of microscopic holes called dye sites. Stains form by filling these tiny holes. The Scotchgard protector chemistry fills these dye sites before a stain can get into these holes. The Scotchgard protector acts as a shield, resisting stains. At no time can a stain and Scotchgard protector occupy the same dye site, which makes the replenishing of the protection essential. Always use the Scotchgard protector cartridge to maximize your results!
Scotchgard products are fluorochemical treatments developed by 3M. Applied to the carpet, they provide an effective protective treatment by surrounding each individual carpet fiber with an invisible shield. Scotchgard protector improves the fibers’ resistance to oil and water based stains, as well as soiling from everyday use.
