Do I Need a Stain Protector applied after I Clean my upholstery?
The Kind of Protection You Never Hear About
Unfortunately, there is probably as much confusion in the Orlando upholstery cleaning industry about stain protectors as there is about cleaning. Uneducated, uninformed upholstery cleaners cause a great deal of confusion by giving out false information or intentionally misrepresenting the product.
Stain-protector is made with two protective properties: The first is an acid dye blocker that is basically a clear dye that fills the extra dye sites in a fiber. This helps to keep “foreign” dyes (such as red dye in a beverage) from penetrating the textile fiber. The second property is called a “fluorochemical”. It is commonly known as 3M Scotchgard ® or DuPont Teflon ®. This treatment helps keep spillage from actually getting to the acid dye blocker, but its biggest job is to resist dry soil.
By resisting dry soil, less soil bonds to the fabric, therefore being picked up by your vacuum or cleaning. Making sure that you have a sufficient amount of protector on your upholstery will help keep the soil from bonding to the fabric
