Fibre Shield is a premium carpet protector.
Fibre Shield is an advanced water-based fluorochemical polymer providing premium protection for nylon and wool carpeting. It has been professionally formulated to create a durable, highly repellent property to each fibre. This repellent nature, which includes specialty red dye blockers, holds spills and stains close to the surface and enables them to be removed before causing permanent staining. Fibre Shield also repels dry soiling and releases these dry soils to vacuuming, which in turn promotes carpet longevity.
Refer to the Fibre & Fabric Protection manual for further information, including the abilities and limitations of fibre & fabric protection treatments.

How to use
Always pre-test in an inconspicuous location for substrate sensitivity to chemicals.
Ensure that the carpet is clean and free of chemical residue. If wet extraction cleaning is to be done prior to the protection treatment, it is best to finish with an acid rinse. Leave the carpet as dry as possible. It can be applied to dry or damp fabric.
Dilutions
- Dilute 1:2 for clean, damp carpets. Apply at a rate of 340 to 510ml per 5m2. (1 gallon per 400 to 600sq.ft)
