Scotchgard & Carpet Protection in Lake of the Ozarks

We Apply It After Cleaning — So Spills Don’t Turn Into Permanent Stains

Here’s the truth: your carpet and furniture don’t come with built-in protection. Most of them had some kind of factory coating when they were new, but it wears off fast — especially in high-traffic areas. After a year or two, that protection is gone. So when you spill wine, soda, or pet urine, it soaks in immediately and stains the fibers.

That’s why we offer Scotchgard. Or similar professional-grade protectants. It’s a clear coating that helps repel liquids and makes cleaning up accidents way easier. You don’t notice it’s there. Until you need it. Then you’re glad you did it.

What Carpet Protector Actually Does

People think it’s a gimmick. It’s not. Here’s what it actually does:

• Coats the carpet or fabric fiber with a protective layer
• Slows down how fast liquids soak in — gives you time to blot it
• Helps prevent stains from bonding to the fiber
• Keeps oils and dirt from sticking so aggressively
• Makes vacuuming more effective

It doesn’t make your carpet waterproof. It just gives you a fighting chance when something spills.

When Should You Apply It?

• Right after a professional cleaning. This is the only time it works properly — when the surface is clean and dry.
• If you have pets or kids. Accidents happen. A protectant can be the difference between “that came right up” and “that’s never coming out.”
• High-traffic areas. Hallways, entryways, stairs — those wear out first. Protection keeps them looking decent longer.
• Before or after rental guests. Especially on vacation properties. Nobody treats your carpet like you do.

What We Can Apply It To

• Wall-to-wall carpet
• Area rugs (depending on material)
• Upholstered furniture (couches, chairs, ottomans, etc.)
• Dining chairs and fabric headboards
• Boat seats, RV cushions, and other fabric surfaces

We’ll tell you straight if it’s worth it or not. Some materials don’t need it or won’t take it well. We won’t apply it just to upsell you.

How Long Does It Last?

Usually about 12 months under normal use. Less in areas with heavy foot traffic or repeated spills. We recommend reapplying it every time you get the carpet or upholstery cleaned. It’s not permanent. But it helps a lot while it lasts.

What It Doesn’t Do (So You Know)

• It won’t fix stains that are already there
• It doesn’t clean the carpet — it only protects it
• It’s not a guarantee nothing will ever stain again
• It won’t make your carpet last forever

But it can save you from permanent damage when something bad happens.

Why We Recommend It

• Because we’ve seen how much worse carpets look without it
• Because it costs way less than replacing a rug or chair
• Because we know accidents happen, and this gives you a buffer
• Because it helps your professional cleaning last longer

It’s not a required service. But for most people, especially with kids or pets, it’s one of the smartest extras you can do.
