A carpet protector is a clear treatment applied to the carpet after it has been cleaned. It coats the fibres so spills sit on the surface a little longer instead of soaking straight in, giving you time to blot them up. It also helps dry soil vacuum out more easily. For Brisbane homes with kids, pets or light-coloured carpet, it can make everyday spills far less stressful.
Most new carpet comes with a factory treatment, but it wears off over time with foot traffic, vacuuming and cleaning. Reapplying it after a steam clean restores some of that resistance, especially in hallways, living rooms and around the dining table where spills are most likely.

A protector does not make carpet stain-proof. Red wine, coffee and pet accidents still need to be blotted up quickly, and some stains will still mark if left for hours. What it does is buy you time and make spot cleaning easier. The treatment slowly wears down with traffic, so many households reapply it each time the carpet is steam cleaned. It can also be applied to rugs, couches and fabric chairs, and the crew will check the fibre first.
