How
to Fight Those Mysterious Carpet Spots
New Scotchgard
Deep Down Protection Shields Against Stains
(ARA) - If you
think you're seeing spots appear before your eyes as you gaze
at your carpet, sometimes you are. "It's not unusual
to clean up a spill and then days later discover a spot has
developed," says Denise Loxton, of the Scotchgard Service
Center. Loxton explains that each time you clean the spot
and the surface dries, whatever liquid fell below the surface
can wick up from the bottom, pulled by the dry fiber on top.
"Many people call the center and mention this 'mysterious'
happening."
A new improvement
in carpet protection pioneered by 3M could be your latest
weapon in the case against reoccurring spots. Specially created
for nylon carpet, the advanced, deep down Scotchgard protection
now shields the entire fiber, from top to bottom, all the
way to the carpet backing. The improved coverage means spills
clean up more easily and, as a result, are less likely to
turn into stains. In addition, soil resistance is improved
all the way down the fiber as well. This keeps dirt from getting
inside the fiber, so it vacuums up more easily, helping to
keep carpet looking good longer.
The deep down
Scotchgard protection is a result of a patented application
process. Most carpet protection for nylon is applied in a
two-step process: first the stain blocker, which is necessary
for nylon carpet, and then the soil protection. 3M engineered
a way for both treatments to be co-applied and in such a way
that the protection goes from surface to backing and heat
cures it to the fiber to seal it deep into the tuft. It is
the most thorough treatment available today.
Carpets with
the deep down Scotchgard protection are now available at Abbey
and Carpet One dealers. At Abbey, look for the collection
called "The Best." At Carpet One, Scotchgard is
featured on many carpets in the "Lee's for Living"
line.
