Chad's Carpet Care

Q. Should I reapply DuPont Teflon when I have my carpets cleaned?

A. Yes, reapplication is recommended for heavy traffic patterns. Regular household conditions that cause carpets to need cleaning (for example,dirt and spills in carpet) can contribute to a gradual "wearing off" of the protector. Cleaning alone will not remove DuPont Teflon. Reapplication will ensure that the ease of the soil removal is maintained.

Q: But the tag on my upholstery says dry-clean only?

A: Many manufacturers use this type of tag on upholstery. This protects them from being liable for any possible problems. The truth is there are thousands of types of upholstery and most of the time with the right ph solution, heat, and quick drying time they can usually be safely cleaned and protected. There is a small percentage that we dry-clean.

Q: How long will it take for my upholstery to dry and be ready for use?

A: Because we use high speed air movers to speed up the dry time it is often dry by the time we leave your home or shortly after.

Q: Is there a protectant specifically for upholstery to protect my furnishings from spills and wear?

A: Yes, we use a solvent based protectant on all upholstery rather than a water based protectant. This will prevent water spots or browning and allow the protectant to spread evenly and thoroughly.
