The Scotchgard Protector applicator (with formula included) can be used to
help retain the carpet cleanliness you achieve with your ProHeat Pro-Tech
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.)
Fill the SmartMix bottle with clean tap water.
Set the ReadyTools dial to Tools/Pretreat.
Purge 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 Protector 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 colourfastness. Examine area when dry. If colour 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./236 mL 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 metres. 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 colourfastness. If this does occur,
wipe off the protector.
Remove bottle from spraying tool. If concentrate is left, put the
cap on and store for later use at room temperature.
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.
