It Really Works
Protect your carpet - Step by Step
The average carpet is replaced every 12 years
even though it begins to show signs of poor care within only 5 years.
The industry refers to this as "Uglying Out vs. Wearing Out".
This condition typically hits heavy use areas called traffic lanes
first, causing carpet in these areas to look dull and dirty.
Today's lighter carpets need professional care to keep them looking
great until they truly wear out.
To understand what happens to make carpet look dull and dirty even
when you take good care of them, you need to know a little about how
carpets are made.
Most carpets are made of nylon. That means that your carpet started
out as a pile of little plastic beads. After the beads were melted
down and drawn into thin strands the fibers were dyed to the basic shade
your carpet is today. Then the fibers were dipped into another batch of
dye - this one is a special clear dye designed to fill in any open areas
of the fiber that the colored dye didn't penetrate. The colorless dye
is what makes your carpeting Stain Resistant.
Just before your carpet left the mill it was treated once more, this
time with a carpet protector like Scotchgard - your carpet's final line
of defense. The only problem with the carpet mill's protection is that
after time it wears away.
That's where a professional application of Scotchgard saves the
day!
