New Improved DuPont™ Teflon^®
Advanced Carpet Protector

from Bane-Clene^®

Assurance of long-lasting protection with extra repellency

Teflon^® Advanced is a new, improved carpet protector that provides superior repellency and outstanding soil protection for all types of residential carpet. Teflon^® helps carpets stay cleaner, brighter, newer and fresher through all kinds of daily wear! Creates a unique invisible shield around carpet fibers.

Teflon^® Advanced carpet protector provides more repellency than other leading carpet protectors, along with outstanding soil protection. This means your customers can be assured of cleaner carpets longer, and that means more satisfied customers for you.

The improved, advanced repellency of Teflon^® Advanced carpet protector provides extra time to clean up spills, minimizes wicking and the spreading of stains. Teflon^® Advanced is more resistant to oil-based and water-based stains than ever, thanks to its higher repellency. And it creates a unique invisible shield around carpet fibers, keeping dirt from sticking to fibers.

Dirt and stains cling to untreated carpet and quickly become embedded in the fibers. Teflon^® Advanced creates a powerful invisible shield around the carpet’s fibers to keep dirt from lodging within the carpet. The same technology that keeps foods from sticking to pots and pans prevents dirt and grime from sticking to the carpet.

For the consumer, keeping her carpet looking like new is now easier than ever. A professional cleaning will brighten and freshen her carpet, but every time someone walks into her house, they track in dirt. Once dirt gets into her carpet, it gets ground in deeper with every step. Now add the effects of spills, stains and crumbs that get trapped in her carpet. That’s why she needs to protect her freshly cleaned carpet with Teflon^® Advanced carpet protector.

DuPont recommends the application of Teflon^® Advanced after each cleaning on all carpet types, even those with built-in soil and stain protection. Reinforces stain-blocking qualities of stain-resist nylon fibers.

For added protection and increased peace of mind, Teflon^® Advanced carpet protector is CFC- and solvent-free. It leaves no unpleasant odor.

Does Cleaning Remove the Teflon^® Protector?
  Some Teflon^® Advanced carpet protector is removed from the fiber from heavy traffic or aggressive cleaning. Some product may also be removed by strong cleaning agents and chemicals. Check with your supplier to determine which cleaning agents you may need to avoid. It is generally recommended to re-apply Teflon^® Advanced each time the carpet is cleaned.

What is the difference between the mill applied and after market products?
  The mill applied products are formulated for drying in the high temperature ovens found in carpet mills, while the home applied products are formulated to dry at ambient temperatures. Because the mill applied products are “baked on”, they are typically more durable, depending upon the product. However, Teflon^® Advanced has good durability and provides valuable protection against soil and stains.

How often should protectors be applied?
  Since the biggest enemy of the protectors is abrasion from traffic, and traffic varies with each situation, the general recommendation for re-application is after each cleaning. The same conditions that led to the need for cleaning probably have led to the need to refresh the carpet protection.

How are carpet warranties affected?
  Carpet mills recommend reapplication of Protector to maintain their warranties. Shaw Industries' R2X™ brand carpet warranty is voided is by "treatment after installation by any product other than DuPont Teflon® or 3M's Scotchgard™...".
  DuPont™ recommends the application of Teflon^® Advanced after each cleaning on all carpet types, even those with built-in soil and stain protection. Reinforces stain-blocking qualities of stain-resist nylon fibers, such as Stainmaster^®.

Why apply Teflon^® Advanced?
  First, because DuPont™ Teflon^® Advanced Carpet Protector provides a valuable service for your customers - it keeps the carpet looking good longer. From a business perspective, Teflon^® Advanced will improve customer satisfaction. Two very important reasons!

Can Teflon^® Advanced be applied to upholstery?
  Yes, Teflon^® Advanced also works on upholstery that is not subject to water damage as is silk and other more exotic fabrics. Teflon^® Advanced is suitable to protect upholstery made from most cotton, nylon, polyester, and blends of these fibers. But if water damage is a possibility or a concern, do not apply the product.

How does Teflon^® Advanced compare to 3M's Scotchgard™?
