The only problem with fabric protectors is that most cleaners only know what is on the lable.  And they can't even follow the instructions on the jug.  All they know is easy money.  That makes it a hard sell for properly trained technicians  when the previous cleaned used the old bull baffles brains to make his commission not knowing just what rhe limitations or expectations can be expected from the product he or she just applied and what if any problems it may caues in the future.  Go back to the old adds extrax to clean  berber and stainmaster carpets.  I could go on but i have my point.  Again this is my opinion.

What the heck is this guy saying, or trying to say. I had to read that paragraph 3 times and I still don't know what he's talking about. take a deep breath and lie down DOUG.......everything will be o.k. the last time I saw a Jug of anything was back in the 60's except for the girl I saw the other day downtown. Doug you would have been happy with those Jugs, and trust me you wouldn't read the label either, you would just jump in and smother yourself in it.

If your cleaning price is $0.15 per sq ft. you are about right.  I see most of you apply scotchguard that should be worth anout .10 sq. ft.  I prefer to use Scotchgard there is adifference.

I charge 100% of the cleaning charge. I've also found it very helpful to give them something to read after you leave. By that I mean.....I've printed out a small info sheet pertaining to whatever service they asked for. On it, I list the product that was used and what certain things they can expect from the product. Something general to answer most questions they might have. Works great andn shows that you care enough to make sure they understand the product.

You people must have a different product over there.

 

Down here, we had SCOTCHGARD without the U.

Is there another product on the market with a similar brand name, as I see this one referred to more often??

Enquisitive

Cheers,

Shortwun.

Shortwun:  There is a great difference.  3M Scotchgard is the brand name recconnized world over. Scotchguard is a fake kind of a generic of the real thing. Ken, I thought even you would know something as clear as that. Guitar

We have an info sheet about Scotchgard that we print out and give to our customers....

 Applying Scotchgard offers several important benefits for the protection and longevity of your furniture, carpets, and upholstery: 

  • Stain Resistance: Scotchgard creates a protective barrier that repels liquids, preventing them from immediately soaking into fabrics. This makes it easier to blot and remove spills before they become permanent stains.
  • Ease of Cleaning: Treated surfaces are more resistant to dirt and stains, making them easier to clean. Scotchgard can help in maintaining the appearance of your furniture and carpets by reducing the need for frequent and intensive cleaning. 
  • Longevity of Fabrics: Scotchgard helps extend the life of fabrics by reducing the impact of wear and tear. It protects against spills, stains, and soil, preventing them from causing irreversible damage. 
  • Preservation of Appearance: Professionally applied Scotchgard helps fabrics maintain their original look and feel. It reduces the risk of fading, discoloration, and deterioration caused by exposure to sunlight, dirt, and spills. 
  • Enhanced Durability: The protective layer formed by Scotchgard improves the overall durability of fabrics. This is especially beneficial for high-traffic areas or furniture that is frequently used. 
  • UV Protection: Scotchgard provides some level of UV protection, helping to shield fabrics from the damaging effects of sunlight. This is particularly important for items near windows or exposed to natural light. 
  • Reduced Allergen Retention: Treated fabrics are less likely to trap and retain allergens such as dust and pet dander. This can contribute to a healthier indoor environment, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues. 
  • Maintained Breathability: Scotchgard does not significantly alter the breathability of fabrics. This means that while providing protection, it allows fabrics to retain their natural characteristics, such as moisture-wicking properties. 
  • Cost Savings: Investing in professional Scotchgard application can lead to cost savings in the long run. The protection it provides can reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and the need for early replacement of furniture or carpets. 

Overall, professionally applying Scotchgard is a proactive measure that safeguards your investments in home furnishings, ensuring they look better for longer and are more resistant to the daily challenges of spills, stains, and wear.
