Make sure you get all the dirt out of the carpet before you apply protection.

 I worked for just one day for a carpet cleaning company that was  using the name of a major store's name, back in 1994, a national store that everyone anywhere in this country has heard of, and we only did 12 houses that day, because the other guy was late, I was on time, 2 hour commute, and he stopped for a GF visit on the way to the first job .
We "Scotchguarded" every job, and every room got treatment.  I posed as a brand new technician, to see how this company could charge so little.
As a 'new' tech, actually a carpet cleaner for 24 years already, I received no training, and did all the wand stuff.
The 'master' tech did the furniture moving and 'treatment'.
There was the Majical gallon bottle of "Scotchguard".
The tech got a $500 bonus only if he sold  $1000 of protection.
He told me to get the bottle of "scotchguard".
It had less than 8 ounces of something in it.
He filled the bottle up with warm water and repeated filling the same wicked old looking bottle every time it went down to 4-8 ounches and repeated this all day long.
He got the month's goal done in one day.
$500/day was good money in those days.
Heck, 26 years later it still is, plus his day's cleaning earnings.
Scotchguard is a decent product, and for a $10/warrantee form with a great 7 year warrantee for the cosumer and tech, it was a win, win deal that no other product could match!Never had a stain call back for service.
I have used a lot of different products, spent entire days masking off vents and returns in high risers like the Ritz Carlton et al, due to odor migration of solvents.
In regards to the MONTREAL ACCORDS, i STOPPED USING 1,1,1 TRI, even though it was not bad, just a cousin of the bad stuff.
For carpets, I use water based protector from Vickers Industries in Yphank, Long Island, NY.
Manny Vickers is  a chemist by trade, also invented one of the best car 'waxes' and sold it. I think it is called Zymol, but my memory is foggy.
Great protection, reasonable price.

Back when I was in the carpet cleaning business people sold Scotchgaurd and proceeded to spray water on the carpet. What a scam that was. I hope you folks have more integrity than that.

You also have to consider the coverage of the mixed ready to use protector.  For instance, Maxim is an acid dye resistor that costs more to purchase for a concentrated gallon and makes 6 rtu gallons.  Each rtu gallon covers 400-800 sqft depending on the pile.  It works really well and so far I haven't found anything cheaper to use per sqft.  I've heard that Hardball may be less expensive but I haven't checked into it yet (still have a lot of Maxim for now).
 
What's the coverage for the Dupont?  I didn't find it on the website.
