Professional Scotchgarding & Fabric Protection Services
Canadian Carpet Cleaning provides professional Scotchgard application and fabric protection services for homes and businesses across Durham Region.
Scotchgard is a fluoropolymer-based protective treatment that, when professionally applied to carpet, upholstery, or outdoor fabric, causes liquids to bead on the surface rather than absorb into the fibers, making stains significantly easier to remove. A single professional application provides protection for up to three years. Serving Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Scarborough, and surrounding communities since 1979, Canadian Carpet Cleaning applies Scotchgard as a standalone service or immediately following a professional carpet cleaning or upholstery clean for maximum effectiveness.

At Canadian Carpet Cleaning, we offer fabric protection and Scotchgarding services for a number of home items, including:

What Is Scotchgarding?
Scotchgard is a protective Teflon coating that can be applied to carpet, upholstered furniture, and a number of other types of fabrics. When a carpet or furniture piece is Scotchgarded, liquid will “bead up” instead of soaking into its fibres. This makes it easier to clean up without leaving a stain. It is still recommended that you clean up a spill as soon as it occurs, and you should use caution for acid-based stains, but liquids such as coffee, cola, and red wine will be much easier to clean up than before.
It is worth noting that professional application differs meaningfully from off-the-shelf spray products. Proper technique and even coverage affect how long the protection holds and how well it performs against heavy or repeated spills.
Is Scotchgard Safe for Furniture?
You will be happy to know that Scotchgard is perfectly safe to use on upholstered furniture. Scotchgarding will also kill fungi and bacteria upon application, and it should continue to protect the material for up to three years. For best results, we recommend having Scotchgard applied to furniture and carpet immediately after it is professionally cleaned.
Protect Patio Furniture
In addition to protecting your interior surfaces, Scotchgard is great for protecting fabric surfaces outside, like your patio furniture and cushions. When professionally applied, it creates a durable barrier to repel water, like rain and snow, extending the life of your furniture. This, in turn, protects your outdoor furniture from mould and mildew, keeping it looking brand new for longer.
How Long Does Scotchgard Take to Dry?
You can generally count on your carpets and upholstered furniture to dry overnight after Scotchgard has been applied. In some cases, the treated fabric might be dry after two-to-four hours, but it’s always best to wait overnight before using furniture that has been treated with Scotchgard. In any case, you should always check to make sure that your carpet or upholstery is completely dry before you assume that you can use it again.
Benefits of Scotchgarding
Protection Against Spills and Stains
By adding a strong barrier to your soft furnishings, whether it be couch cushions, rugs, carpets, or pillows, Scotchgard shields the fabric from a number of spills. It works by repelling water and oil-based spills, and as a result, eliminates the mould and bacteria that may come with it.
Extends Lifespan of Furniture and Carpets
Scotchgard adds a layer of protection to your fabric surfaces, actively repelling dirt and dander. By applying fabric protector to soft surfaces in your home, you can extend their life by reducing regular wear and tear.
Easy Cleanup
We get it, messes can happen. But this doesn’t mean that these messes need to stain your carpets or soft furniture. If an accident happens, whether it be a drink or food spill, Scotchgard works by forming a barrier on the surface, protecting the fabric before the spill has a chance to soak into the fibres. This makes for easy cleanup, reducing damage to your furnishings.
