How Long Does Carpet Protector or Scotchgard Last?

There is no single lifespan that applies to every carpet protector application. Wear depends on product, carpet construction, foot traffic, spills, maintenance and subsequent cleaning. Ask which product is being applied and follow its manufacturer guidance.

Traffic

Heavy foot traffic wears protector faster.

Maintenance

Regular vacuuming removes abrasive soil that wears it down.

Cleaning

Deep cleaning can reduce protection, so reapplication after cleaning is common.

Signs protection has diminished

Spills soak in quickly instead of beading.

Reapplication

Reapply after deep cleaning in high-use areas.
