Frequently Asked Questions


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can I use this product on?
You can use it on rugs, residential or commercial carpeting, and automobile carpeting and matting. Always check for colorfastness first by testing in an inconspicuous area.

How often should I reapply?
With wear from dirt and traffic, the carpet's protection wears away with time. The more traffic and/or dirt, the faster it wears. In addition, each time your carpet is cleaned with a deep extraction machine, the protection is diminished considerably. We recommend periodic cleaning at least once a year with a deep extraction machine and reapplying Scotchgard protection after each instance.

If my carpet already has a mill-applied protection, do I ever need to apply the aerosol product, Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs, Carpets, & Autos?
Yes, the aerosol product should be applied after each cleaning of your carpet. Also, in high traffic areas, or where spills are most likely to occur, applying this product boosts the protection of the mill treatment.

How long does it take to dry?
Under average room temperature conditions (70 degrees F, 50% Humidity), most objects should dry overnight. Always be sure to check before resuming normal traffic in the treated areas. Longer dry times could occur under the following conditions: colder temperatures, more humid conditions, or heavy applications. Providing for proper ventilation for the product will also provide a quicker dry time in most conditions.

Is this product safe to use on wool rugs?
The product is safe for use on wool rugs that can be cleaned with water. (Some may have a "cleanability code" - where "W" or "WS" would indicate it is safe to be cleaned with water.) If it says, "Dry Clean Only," then we would not recommend application. Always check for colorfastness first by testing in an inconspicuous area.

Will my carpet stiffen from using Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs & Carpets?
No. Using Scotchgard protectors does not change the look or feel of carpeting. Occasionally, slight over-application of Scotchgard protectors or accelerated drying (with fans or heat) may cause treated articles to stiffen. Simply, vacuum the affected areas and the carpet will feel normal again.

After applying Scotchgard™ Protector for Rugs & Carpets my carpet had some white residue and is a little stiffer in some areas - what happened?
Occasionally, over-application of Scotchgard protectors or accelerated drying (with fans or heat) may cause treated articles to stiffen. Simply, vacuum the affected areas and the carpet will return to its normal feel again.
