Scotchgard protector - Advice needed
« on: June 13, 2008, 04:19:51 pm »
Do any of you guys use the new scotchgard protector?

How do you apply it, as you would a pre-spray?

Is it nececery to wear any breathing aparatus?

Should you apply it straight after the clean while carpet is still damp or arange to go back the next day?

If its applied straight after cleaning, how long do you tell the customer to keep off the item treated for drying purposes?

Finally - can I only purchase scotchgard products through Prochem?

Thanks Paul

Hi,
You can purchase Scothguard through olympic cleaning at a very competitive price see there website www.olympiccleaning.com, if you are applying on a new carpet you should first give the carpet a misting of fabric & fibre rinse, then apply as you would a pre-spray then brush and re-set the pile so that all sides of the fibre get the benefits. If you are cleaning first use the Fabric fibre in the rinse tank than apply the same way.

There are a few suppliers stocking Scotchgard, do a search for best prices.
All your questions will be answered on the label/instruction of use. ;)

Apparently, if you are using the free AVG anti virus, it is well known to give "false positives" on alot of things. Not to say there isnt a problem, but it's probably AVG.

Hi, Just a thought, but are you using Scotchguard because you like it or because its there? I use two different products both (I think) very good. One is Stain Guard, and the other is STA Protector, they are much cheaper than Scotchguard, easy to apply and do work well. I would reccomend on a cost effective basis having a look at these. Hope that helps. Os

I think Olympic ought to charge a few pennies more, then get their webpoope sorted out.

Yes you can find stuff, but it's a pain in the arse.

Also my first order turned up with a 4kg tub of Pureclean all smashed up. This was because they had taped a 10ltr container of multipro on top of it.

I was going to have a word but was busy the day they delivered. On balance their prices and range of product are very good and staff helpful.
