Poly carpet and dupont teflon?

[daniel@procarpet]

I have my poly carpet in my rental looking killer. I shampooed it, rinsed with rx 20 and rinse agent, and dried it out. I want to appy a protector, but I can't remember if it is a waste of money applying teflon to poly.

waste

waste

So I guess the carpet will get more protection by me investing 50 dollars in a bissel and instructing the renters how to use it properly.

The teflon won't help any on poyl carpet?

ITS plastic

just build a cleaning every 6mths into the rent. Don't have to tell them, just that a 6mth cleaning is included. You can always hire a good cleaner

some on here will tell you it isn't a waste but I have never seen any help from it when I applied it

I have seen how protector works. I spilled some on my driveway and water would bead up and not wet that spot for two years.

I think the protector works much better if the carpet is completely dry and has ample time to set up after applying.

I am going to apply a gallon anyways. I will test how it works the next day. We will see if it beads water and how long it lasts.

I applied two coats of sealer to the tile.

I am very pleased with how well it works. I poured soy sauce, beer, and water on the grout, and they wiped right up.

The key was letting the grout dry out completely and doing two coats.

atta a boy.. your learning! Your most convincing evidence is your own experience and testing! Iseeru

did you apply only to the grout or the whole tile?what did you use?

Hydroforce clear grout sealer.

The grout needs to be completely dry. Best to wait till the next day, but if that is not possible let some fans go for an hour or so before sealing.

I just used the cheap applicator bottle with the felt roller tip. Just roll it on the grout. No need to clean up as long as you don't get it all over the place. Apply two applications for best results.
