Tips for Protection of Your Carpet and Furniture

Other than your home one of the largest investments you will make is on the carpets and furniture that you put in your home. There are so many choices with the different textures, colours and different styles but whatever your choices are you can rest assured the cost will run into the thousands. You choose these items because of their beauty and elegance and it is a terrible feeling to watch these items turned dull and drab, lose their appearance. Regular vacuuming and regular carpet cleaning will help to keep the appearance of your carpets and furniture but applying stain protection is another way to prolong the beauty of your furnishings.

 

Using Ultra-Guard Fabric Protection to protect your carpets and furniture is a great idea but most people don't understand what stain protection products do. Some people feel that just because their carpets and furniture have Ultra-Guard protection that there is no need to do any maintenance or provide any care. What they don't understand is that constant use of their carpets and furniture will show stains and wear and tear no matter how much protection they have. Any products that are designed to protect the fabric of your carpets and furniture will do a great job but they are not foolproof.

 

Ultra-Guard the technology was designed to protect your furnishings from stains, dirt and grime. Whether you want to apply it yourself, buy it already built-in or have a carpet cleaning professional treat it, carpet and furniture products repel liquid spills, help eliminate stains and protect against recoiling. Ultraguard surrounds each fibre, providing an invisible shield against dirt and soil. As a result, dirt does not adhere as easily and vacuums up easier. Plus, fibre wear from soil abrasion is reduced.

 

An example of how carpet or furniture protection products can help is when you have a spill. If you spill red wine and the carpet does not have Ultra-Guard protection you watch the liquid absorb into the fibres of the carpet and in some cases leave a permanent stain. If you spill on the carpet that has been ultraguarded you watch the liquid bead on the surface and not absorb into the fabric. This gives you the necessary time to clean up the spill without leaving a permanent stain. A carpet and furniture protection product on your furnishings does not mean that you can ignore the spills until your next cleaning.

 

Frequently sitting in the same spot on your furniture or walking in the same pathways of your carpeting will form wear patterns. Another benefit that you gain from using Ultra-Guard is that it provides an extra layer of protection and in many cases will prolong the forming of wear patterns. Even with ultraguard it is still important to rearrange your furniture to prevent wear and to use throw rugs in high traffic areas of your carpet.

 

In homes that have pets you will find that Ultra-Guard can be a great benefit in providing protection for your carpets and furniture. It protects furnishings from pet stains and repels liquids. It is quite common in a home with pets to have stains like urine, vomit or faeces and ultraguard will provide added repellency to the fabrics. This type of strong protection will prevent permanent staining and in many cases, the stains will release with a gentle washing or steam cleaning. The nice thing about this type of protection is that it won't change the look, feel or breathability of your furnishings.

 

The intention of this article is to provide a little knowledge of fabric protection products and what you can expect from using Ultra-Guard. In many cases the benefits of ultra-guard are exaggerated and people don't provide the proper care and maintenance for their furnishings. By understanding that ultra-guard does have some limitations you have the knowledge to provide proper care and as a result, will enjoy the benefits for many years.
