Next generation Scotchgard Carpet Protector available from Prochem Europe


The latest generation of 3M’s renowned carpet protection product Scotchgard Carpet Protector, in a new, ready-to-use format, is available exclusively in the UK from Prochem Europe.

Ensuring that it repels soils and stains effectively, Scotchgard Carpet Protector uses special technologies critical to the development of high-quality, high performance protective materials. It is believed that to date, no other class of materials has been found that repels soils and stains as effectively.

Now available in a ready-to-use format, Scotchgard Carpet Protector for 2010 is even easier for professional applicators to apply to carpets. The format enables a one-step process that treats the entire carpet to deliver superb treatment efficiency.

The Scotchgard brand has been synonymous with protection for 50 years and with 3M’s dedication to innovation and investment continues to evolve. The new Scotchgard ready-to-use Carpet Protector is effective at treating new carpet, as well as acting as a renovator for previously treated carpets. It offers durable, long lasting protection against dirt, spills and stains.

The latest release of this popular solution marks 3M’s continued association with cleaning solutions specialist Prochem Europe.
