Pretty sure you cant from Prochem, you can get a protector product from virtually any supplier but not the "Scothgard" brand.

I think you can get it from the people that sell the bane machines over here though, i think there name is spurgeons ??? its something like that anyway, but i think you will find its a imported version from the states and is not the same as the original one.

3M carpet protector has been available a long time at least over 30 years. However as far as I know Scotchgard for on site application has not been available since it was withdrawn a few years ago. It has been reformulated to a cartain extent and I believe the new version is available in the States, but I have not heard anything about it becoming re-available over here.

It all depends on how old the site is.

He was hardly going to change his business name after using for so long just because 3M withdrew the stuff. The DIY stuff is still available, or perhaps he uses that original 3M protector instead of Scotchgard now.

Not so much his name but all the 3M and Scotchguard stuff on the van. Although not sure I'll have a butchers when I'm leafleting his neighbours.

I actually stuck up for the guy a while back. New custy was giving him a slagging becuase their carpet he protected was dirty.  ::)

Came up a treat though. ;D
