The Scotchgard protector applicator (with formula included) can be used to
help retain the carpet cleanliness you achieve with your ProHeat machine.
For best results the post cleaning treatment should be applied while the
carpet is still wet or damp. It is recommended that the Scotchgard protector
is applied every 12 months in all carpeted areas, and after every deep
cleaning for high traffic areas such as entryways and stairs.
Immediately after cleaning and rinsing your carpets, empty the
Tank-in-Tank and refill the Bladder with clean hot tap water.
(See page 7 & 8 for instructions.)
Set the ReadyTools Dial to Tools/Pretreat.
Flush water through the hose to eliminate cleaning solution
from the tube by spraying water through the hose without
attachments into a sink for 15-30 seconds.
Attach cartridge to the applicator tool, following instructions
on cartridge.
Turn the SmartMix Dial to the Water Rinse/Carpet Protectant Setting.
Place the Scotchgard protector applicator onto the end of the Flex
Hose. The water from the Tank-in-Tank will automatically mix with
the concentrated protectant formula contained in the cartridge.
Before applying Scotchgard protector, test a small, hidden area
for colorfastness. Examine area when dry. If color is affected,
do not use. For upholstery, look for manufacturer’s cleanability
code tag. Use on fabrics coded “W” or “WS”. If coded “S” or
“X” do not use. Not recommended for use on velvet, silk vinyl,
leather or 100% cotton upholstery.
Plan your route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin
protecting in the corner farthest from your exit.
Apply Scotchgard protector in a slow sweeping motion with a
slight overlap of the treated area. For best coverage, follow the
guide on the cartridge.
One 8 oz. cartridge protects 200 square feet (18.6 square
meters). This is equal to two average size rooms (each at 10 x
10 feet or 3 x 3 meters). Periodically check the product level in
the bottle to ensure best coverage.
Be careful not to spray the protector onto furniture or fabric
that has not been tested for colorfastness. If this does occur,
wipe off the protector.
Remove bottle from applicator tool. If concentrate is left, put
the cap on and store at room temperature for later use.
With applicator tool still on the end of Flex Hose, spray clean
hot water into sink to avoid any future clogging.
Store tool on the back of unit in the caddy.
