What kinds of spots and stains does FiberGard Plus! protect against?
FiberGard Plus! protects against various soils, grass, blood, oil, tar, grease, gum, ink, as well as hundreds of other combinations of staining agents, spots, and spills.
If FiberGard Plus! safe for children and pets?
Yes. With over 25 years of extensive testing, development, research, and everyday use in thousands of homes, our product line has repeatedly met all safety requirements and demonstrated itself to be safe in the home.
How does FiberGard Plus! work?
FiberGard Plus! takes advantage of a new chemistry called “micro-encapsulation” that incorporates a combination of polymers, co-polymers, fluorochemicals, resins, and suffactants that work in unison to provide a safe, much longer lasting barrier that protects against oil and water-based staining compounds. The key to our system is that FiberGard Plus! actually penetrates directly into the treated fiber, as opposed to just coating the surface. This allows FiberGard Plus! to provide an enhanced barrier of protection from potential staining agents. Additionally, this exclusive formula also adds enhanced protection from UV rays and flammability, as well as strengthening the actual fiber, providing longer wear.
Will spills “bead up” on treated items?
“Beading up” depends entirely on the type of fiber involved and the degree of openness of the weave of the fabric. The tighter the weave, the greater surface resistance. However, even if the spot or spill infiltrates that airspace, it releases much more readily when properly treated and cleaned with FiberGard Plus!
Does FiberGard Plus! have an odor?
Once the product has completely dried within a period of 4-6 hours, FiberGard Plus! is completely odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. Increased airflow will accelerate dry-time and help dissipate the “clean” smell immediately following application.
Will FiberGard Plus! prevent soiling and spots?
FiberGard Plus! will not make soil, spotting, or spills hover 6 inches above the surface! It will, however, allow the various staining agents to be released much more effectively than untreated or mill-treated fibers. Nothing will protect against the effects of bleaches, strong acids, or dyes. Therefore it is very important to be extremely careful with use of these potential staining agents.
Does FiberGard Plus! “waterproof” fibers?
Our system is not intended for use as a waterproofing agent. However, it will substantially improve resistance to water-based substances.
Should I apply FiberGard Plus! to mill-treated fabrics?
Absolutely! There is no comparison! FiberGard Plus! will dramatically enhance and improve the effectiveness of these previously treated items. Along with this, our system is designed to offer a complete system of on-going maintenance with an unparalled level of service. Clients will hav eth added benefit of having a local FiberGard Plus! professional treat their furnishings at their location with minimal disruption to their lives.
Additionally, at the time of your in-home estimate, we will demonstrate how FiberGard Plus! works, how to effectively remove spots and spills and give yout he appropriate cleaning agent with regard to your situation. Our specifically formulated cleaning solutions DO NOT remove the initial protective treatments.
How much does FiberGard Plus! cost?
Compared to other products and sources on the market, FiberGard Plus! is an absolute bargain! Taking into account how much longer the treatment lasts, coupled with a lifetime of spot removal assistance, your investment in FiberGard Plus! is a very small price to pay.
