Who sells scotchguard brand?

[alazo1]

I was thinking about selling it and putting the stickers on the corner guards like someone here does. I don't even push protector on carpet but figure everyone knows scotchguard. Does it work?

Sure it works but the mills prefer Teflon and there is NO u in Scotchgard.

 

[joeynbgky]

U have to know how to spell it before u sell it

Yes ... in two ways.
1. The carpets stay clean longer.
2. Your bank account grows bigger.

PS Of course, for both 1 and 2 to actually happen ScotchGard (and Teflon too for that matter) has to be sold.

If you do an SFS course, they give you all the tools to let Scotchgard sell itself, nearly. !gotcha!


Wish they had a Licensed applicator program down under again for Scotchgard. thathurts

 

[Ken Snow]

Shorty- I think the only requirement to be a licensed applicator is to buy the product.

W sell it on about 35,000 jobs a year or so.

 

[Brian R]

I sell it.....I'll admit I should sell more....as should everyone. Yes, even Ken. !gotcha!

I buy it from Jon Don.

 

[Ken Snow]

I agree and so do we :-)

 

[Johnny]

What do yall charge for protector?

I never push it.

 

[Brian R]

Half the price of the job seems to work well.

 

[Ken Snow]

Same here 50% of the cleaning for rooms etc that we SG.

I use an Aussie made protector since 3M no longer supply the Scotchgard in bulk down under.

The only product they sell is in the spray cans.

If I could get it here, I would use it.

I have made enquiries from Jon-Don however the freight is well in excess of the purchase price.

Then I have customs duty + other costs here as well.

I end up paying approximately three times the purchase price to get ten boxes landed into Cairns.

When treating carpet or upholstery, I also charge 50% as you do.

On new upholstery I charge the same as I would to clean that piece.

So they are both water based (Scotchgard / Teflon)?. How much does it add to the dry times?. I like the solvent ones better but I'll try something if it's easier to sell.

The mills recommend Teflon?. Is this statement true. Wasn't there people freakin out about Teflon some time ago?

I would never promote high-pressuring the customer in their home, Johnny. (Or anywhere else for that matter!) High pressure, bait-and-switch tactics are sleazy, immoral, many times illegal and ultimately counter-productive.

HOWEVER, there is a huge difference between "pushing" a product and orienting your customer on the features/benefits of a service or product. After all, they can't buy if they don't know about it!

One great no-pressure way to pre-orient your client is to have a separate ScotchGard page on your website. Here's how to do it:

PS Most cleaners tell me they are charging between 15 to 20 cents per foot. This isn't bad money with your applied cost between 3 to 4 cents per foot if you buy ScotchGard on sale.

 

[alazo1]

I just got around to trying the gallon I had in my house. I cleaned approx. 300 sft. and sprayed 1 gallon of the Scotchgard with an upholstery pump up sprayer. I'm not getting any kind of beading when I drop some water on it (24hours later). I mixed 1 part sg to 4 parts water.

I found a guide online that says application should be 1 pint per 26sft. That's one gallon for every 100sft. That seems like way overwetting the carpet. What are my doing wrong.

If the product doesn't convince me, I can't try to sell it.

The second is true the first is false.
The carpet does not stay clean longer.
It may resist some stains a little better, it does not stay clean longer!

Right on! The carpet will still get dirty. I can't count how many times I have to explain this to my customers: there is no way a layer of some type of protections on the fabric will stop you humans or animals to track dirt on the given fabric or spill stuff or throw up on!!

What it does, that it helps to clean it up easier, not allowing everything to soak into the fabric, like it would if there was no protector applied.

 

[Brian R]

The idea is the dirt won't stick...or be attracted. Vacuuming is more productive etc.

I believe it....to a certain extent...But nothing but cleaning with keep a carpet clean longer.


Gravity and all that.

Any protector out there that will actually bead?.

I don't get all the hype. Done areas in my own home and can't tell the difference at all.

Customers(new) that have had it in the past, request it.

I just can't promote something that doesn't work for me after testing.

 

[Brian R]

I've done my own home and been back to customers house to reclean a year or so later.

Scientifically I can't say.

But I can say it usually makes my cleaning easier...or at least it appears to.

And the carpets always clean up well.


There was a point in time when I sold scotchgard on every job I could....back in the O/O days.

Always seemed to make a difference to me.....But no real testing.

For that to happen Albert, you need a dense (plush) carpet.

Same as on fabrics, if you have an open weave fabric, the Scotchgard will disappear through the weave in the open areas, although it will still be coating the fibers and doing what it was intended to do.

With a close (tight) weave fabric, the Scotchgard, (or most any liquid for that matter), will pool momentarily before soaking into the fiber.

These protectors are not bullet-proof and will not stop all products that may stain, but they do help big time in reducing problems, especially if the home-owner attends to a spill asap.

Hope you can understand my down under analogy. shiteatinggrin


Shorty.

Years ago I used to use Carpet Guard by Guardsman. You can take a Kleenex, dip it into the product, dry it, and it will repell water. It is a solvent.

It seemed to be much better than some silicon products, that some claim attracts soil, and may even void some stain warranty. Carpet Guard though would pick up that warranty if you used it on the carpet. Not sure what the deal is now though.
