Scotchgard provides a protective shield that surrounds each fiber and protects it from water- and oil-based stains.

 

It repels and blocks stains, resists soiling, and keeps your carpet and upholstery looking newer for longer. With a rag and some water, you can clean up most spills.

​

Scotchgard won’t affect the way your carpet looks or feels, avoiding the sticky residue and tacky gloss you might expect using other spray cleaners and protectants.

The Scotchgard formula prevents stains and dirt from penetrating carpet and fabric fibers, but it isn’t infallible. With proper usage, it will keep your carpet and furniture looking cleaner for longer than they would have otherwise, but they won’t look brand-new forever. 

 

Just because you have Scotchgard, that doesn’t mean that you get just let repelled stains sit on your carpet for hours or days. They will sink in (and set in!) eventually. Scotchgard gives you time to prevent a stain; it doesn’t promise that your carpet or furniture will never be stained.
