Beware of Ripoffs!

A very common ripoff in the carpet cleaning field is the use of
"3-MScotchgard ™". 3-M Scotchgard™ is a product of the 3-M Company and typically commercially purchased in a concentrated form from 3-M and mixed with water before application on wet carpet/furniture. Application of
3-MScotchgard ™after cleaning is applied to protect from the carpet from stains and excessive soiling.

Sometimes a cleaner will advertise a product with a name similar to "3-MScotchgard ™™ but the spelling of the name will be slightly different; such as "Scotchguard". This is usually an inferior product with a lesser cost to the cleaner and ultimately to the expense of the client. Another common rippoff is when a cleaner will improperly mix the product which requires a specific ratio of water to cleaner to be effective for the intended purpose for which is is being applied.

One test to determine proper application is to wait for the rug/fabric to dry, then apply a small amount of water to the treated rug/fabric. If the water beads up on the tips of the fibers, the "3-MScotchgard ™" is doing its job. If it soaks in rapidly, the material was probably improperly treated by the cleaner.
