Rug protector is a clear treatment that helps spills bead on the surface of the fibres for a short time instead of soaking straight in. That window gives you time to grab a towel and blot a spill before it sets. It also helps dry soil release more easily when you vacuum. We take bookings for rug protector application in Brisbane, usually added straight after a rug wash.
Protector goes on clean fibres, so it is applied at the workshop once the rug has been washed, or on site after an in-home clean. The crew we book uses a product suited to the fibre, since wool, silk and synthetics each respond differently. It is sprayed evenly and brushed into the pile, then left to dry before the rug is rolled for delivery.

It helps to be realistic about what protector does. It buys time, but it does not make a rug stain-proof, and it wears down with foot traffic and vacuuming. Most people have it reapplied after each wash. Spills on a protected rug should still be blotted soon, not left to sit overnight. A protected rug also tends to come up cleaner at its next wash.
If you want protector added to a rug in Brisbane, ask for it when you book. It can be added to one rug or several. Call 07 3778 2608 and we will give you upfront pricing for the wash and the protector together.
