Does carpet protector actually work?
Yes, with realistic expectations. It gives you 30–60 seconds to blot a spill before it sets, that's the window that turns a stain into a non-event. It doesn't make carpet stain-proof; anything left sitting long enough will still transfer color. Manufacturers recommend reapplying every 18–24 months or after each deep clean.
Is it safe for pets and kids?
Yes, once dry (about 60 minutes after application). We use a water-based fluorochemical that's certified non-toxic and has no detectable odor after drying. Pets should stay off the area for an hour; we put rugs and shoes off-limits until then.
