After every professional carpet or upholstery cleaning, Super Steamers strongly recommends an application of DuPont™ Teflon® Fabric & Carpet Protector. The shield lowers the surface energy of your fibers so liquid spills bead up on the surface — giving you time to blot them away before they ever soak in.
It’s the same protection used on premium furniture — applied right after cleaning, while the fibers are open and most receptive.
DuPont™ Stain Guard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector protects the fabric and prevents dirt and spills from getting into your upholstery and carpet. The shield lowers the surface energy of the carpet and upholstery fibers, causing them to repel liquid spills, dust and dirt. The result is a microscopic barrier — invisible to the eye but powerfully effective — that gives you precious extra seconds to react when wine, coffee, juice or food hits the floor.
DuPont™ Fabric Protector is undetectable by sight, smell or touch, but protects all kinds of fabrics. It does not change the color, texture, breathability or feel of your carpet or upholstery — and it does not produce any odor. It simply works in the background, every day, to keep dirt from sticking to the fibers and to make sure the carpet you just paid us to clean stays cleaner and fresher for as long as possible between professional cleanings.
Most factory stain protection wears off within a few years of normal vacuuming and cleaning. By the time you’re calling a professional cleaner because the carpet looks dirty, the original protection is almost certainly gone. A professional steam cleaning is the perfect moment to reapply protection, because the fibers are open and the surface is free of any soil that would otherwise block adhesion. Applying DuPont™ Teflon® right after a deep cleaning is dramatically more effective than trying to apply it to dirty carpet.
For wall-to-wall carpet, we recommend stain protection on the highest-traffic areas first — entryways, family rooms, hallways, stairs and any room where pets and children spend time. The benefit is most pronounced exactly where carpet wear and staining is most visible. After the protector is applied, future spills can typically be blotted up with a dry cloth before they cause permanent staining, and your carpet stays brighter for far longer between cleanings.
For sofas, sectionals, recliners and dining chairs, stain protection is even more valuable. Upholstery sees concentrated use — the same cushion is sat on, slept on, snacked on, and rested against day after day. Without protection, body oils, food residue and accidental spills permanently embed themselves into the fabric. With DuPont™ Teflon® protection, your upholstery resists those daily stresses far longer and is much easier to keep looking new.
Teflon™ upholstery and carpet fiber protector makes it easier to keep your carpet and upholstery looking fresh and clean. Other companies have been working hard to duplicate it, but they cannot match the superior stain protection of Teflon™ upholstery fabric and carpet fiber protector.
For typical residential use, a properly applied DuPont™ Teflon® treatment will provide effective protection for approximately one to three years, depending on traffic, vacuuming frequency and the type of fiber. We recommend reapplying the protector with every professional cleaning to keep your carpet and upholstery in their best condition. The next time you get your carpet or furniture cleaned, make sure to request the DuPont™ Teflon® Stain Guard Fabric Protector as part of your service.
