Help prevent spills and liquids from penetrating and damaging the fibres of your rugs or carpet. We apply the Scotchgard protector by pressurized sprayers to allow the fibre to absorb the moisture. The carpet is then agitated, forcing the protector deeper into the fibre. A second application is then applied to fill the fibre and again agitated and then the pile is set and allowed to dry. The process only takes minutes to apply and can be used normally within 1-2 hours.The base of scotchgard is water and it will help to protect rugs from any stains.
