Since "green" is the focus of all of my marketing, I try to stick with this when a customer asks for "Scotchgard", which is usually the only name the customer knows. I explain that I use the lowest-chem fiber protectant available, which is Bioforce's CARPET PROTECTOR. I am then sometimes asked if it is as effective as Scotchgard. My answer is that I have never seen a study performed by a neutral or otherwise unbiased party which rates the effectiveness of carpet protectants. I tell them that I think they will receive good value from my application of the Bioforce product, and I invariably get a go-ahead to do it.
Thanks for the input Mark, do you use a carpet rake or brush to work in after you apply, I am planning on using a push broom, or whatever looks the easiest to brush carpet with a wide path at Home Depot?
