Frequently Asked Questions:
What can I use this product on?
You can use it on rugs, residential or commercial carpeting, and automobile
carpeting and matting. Always check for colorfastness first by testing in an
inconspicuous area.
How often should I reapply?
With wear from dirt and traffic, the carpet’s protection wears away with time.
The more traffic and/or dirt, the faster it wears. In addition, each time your
carpet is cleaned with a deep extraction machine, the protection is diminished
considerably. We recommend periodic cleaning at least once a year with a deep
extraction machine and reapplying Scotchgard protection after each instance.
If my carpet already has a mill-applied protection, do I ever need to apply the
aerosol product, Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs, Carpets, & Autos?
Yes, the aerosol product should be applied after each cleaning of your carpet.
Also, in high traffic areas, or where spills are most likely to occur, applying
this product boosts the protection of the mill treatment.
How long does it take to dry?
Under average room temperature conditions (70 degrees F, 50% Humidity), most
objects should dry overnight. Always be sure to check before resuming normal
traffic in the treated areas. Longer dry times could occur under the following
conditions: colder temperatures, more humid conditions, or heavy applications.
Providing for proper ventilation for the product will also provide a quicker
dry time in most conditions.
Is this product safe to use on wool rugs?
The product is safe for use on wool rugs that can be cleaned with water. (Some
may have a “cleanability code” – where “W” or “WS” would indicate it is safe to
be cleaned with water.) If it says, “Dry Clean Only,” then we would not
recommend application. Always check for colorfastness first by testing in an
inconspicuous area.
Will my carpet stiffen from using Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs & Carpets?
No. Using Scotchgard protectors does not change the look or feel of carpeting.
Occasionally, slight over-application of Scotchgard protectors or accelerated
drying (with fans or heat) may cause treated articles to stiffen. Simply,
vacuum the affected areas and the carpet will feel normal again.
After applying Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs & Carpets my carpet had some
white residue and is a little stiffer in some areas – what happened?
Occasionally, over-application of Scotchgard protectors or accelerated drying
(with fans or heat) may cause treated articles to stiffen. Simply, vacuum the
affected areas and the carpet will return to its normal feel again.
