What Is Scotchgard?

Scotchgard is an environmentally, child and pet friendly chemical coating applied to the carpet either at the mill or in your home. It coats the fibres of the carpet, making the surface of the fibres more-or-less non-stick, and therefore less absorbent.

It allows dirt, liquid and oil to be more easily cleaned up, as they are far less likely to penetrate the fibres of the carpet.

  • Child and Pet Friendly
  • Can be applied pre-delivery or at your home
  • Carpets fibres are made more resistant to staining
  • Makes spillages easier to clean up

Common questions about Scotchgard

A few of the things we are asked about when discussing scotchgarding carpet.

Does It Work?

The simple answer is yes it does work. Scotchgard, applied onto newly laid carpet, has been proven to significantly increase the life and stain resistance of your carpet.

However, please don’t expect miracles. There are limitations. Liquids such as red wine, if left, will stain. We would advise that you put together a rudimentary stain spot kit to tackle spills immediately. We also recommend regular vacuuming.

Is Scotchgard Worth It?

Absolutely. In fact, at James for Carpets Ltd, we believe that it is an integral part of carpet care, and have therefore integrated Scotchgarding into our 9-step deep cleaning process.

This restores any previous protection and will help improve the durability and resilience of the carpet.

Scotchgarding new carpets is the best way to keep them looking and feeling their best. Our fitters are fully trained and experienced in applying Scotchgard.

Do I Need It?

Some carpets are pre-coated with carpet protection, whilst others have a stain resistance built into them, and others still have no protection at all. This is something we would discuss with you during our Mobile Carpet Showroom consultation.

Constant use, children, pets, visitors, accidents, and even cleaning affects the condition of your carpet and the effectiveness of the protective coating.

How long does it last?

We would recommend that Scotchgard is re-applied regularly to restore its protective properties. This would be particularly effective after a deep clean, which is why we include it as part of our 9-step deep clean service.

James and his team have been a complete pleasure to deal with. For what was a relatively small job (from his recent offcut sale) he and the team went over and above to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. Timely, extremely good service and Kyle and Kyle had me smiling as they sung the whole time they were here. Couldn’t recommend James and his lovely crew enough.

Well all I can say is fantastic job done. Polite and went above and beyond for me. They have done 2 rooms and my landing/stairs. I couldn’t be happier even cleaned up afterwards. I will be using this company again as James knows I have one room to do. I would recommend this company to friends and family THANKYOU JAMES

Love my new carpets! They are amazing quality and well fitted.
The guys were great; they were really helpful and even put the bed back together for me!
They also hoovered the carpets before they left ?
This is the 2nd time we’ll used James Carpets as we had our lounge done last year and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

James for Carpets supplied and fitted our bedroom carpet. From order to fitting took one week. The fitting team were friendly, efficient throughout. Fitting underlay, carpet, new brass bars and shaving two doors to allow for the new carpet, all without a hitch and leaving the site clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the work and will undoubtedly consult them again in the future.

Everyone at the company are really helpful. The whole experience was positive, from choosing the flooring to the laying of it. Quality products laid by excellent professionals. It’s the second time we’ve used James For Carpets and it won’t be the last.
