Why is it necessary to protect your carpet and upholstery fibers? 

Carpets and Upholstery fibers are like a sponge and filter particles and contaminates even bacteria. Which makes them susceptible to spills from drinks, food, body oils and soil. Most third generation carpet manufacturers apply protector to all the carpet  so they last longer and become more durable. The bottom line is without carpet protector, the majority of carpets would not last their lifetime expectancy. Carpets last between 5 to 15 years. Cheaper polyester carpet will not last as long, however a good quality nylon can last 15 years. Carpet Cleaning with protection can help carpets last even longer. Some of our Castle Rock customers have carpets over 20 years old. 

So how long does carpet protector last? Well that depends on the activity of your home. Families with kids and pets will require protection more so than empty nesters. Dupont Teflon suggest that carpet protector will last about two years if your carpets are well maintained. If my carpets are protected do I still need to have them professionally cleaned? Yes, carpet manufactures recommend to professionally clean your carpets at least once a year. So yes you should clean your carpet's annual and every other year  you should re-apply carpet the protectant. Can I do this myself? No, first of all carpet protectant applied outside of the factory needs to be applied by a professional carpet cleaning company immediately after the cleaning. 

By having carpet and upholstery fibers protected with Dupont Teflon you carpets will have barrier that will make it difficult for elements to absorb in the fibers.This will help your carpet from future spills. This barrier will greatly reduce bacteria and pollens to build up that can impact those of your family that suffer from allergies. Also this can prevent food dyes from permanently dying your carpet to a different color.
