Have just bought some scotchgard and will be using tomorrow for the first time.
The carpets are brand new and will just require a thorough vacuum first.
Have read on this forum before applying the product to fine mist the carpets with some water and fibre and fabric rinse, however the instructions for use state it can be applied to wet or dry carpets and that if applied to a dry carpet I only need to dilute 1 part solution to 8 parts water, but for wet the ratio is 1 - 4, so economically its a good saving but are there any disadvantages?
How do you apply, wet or dry??
Also when applying tomorrow, I have a hall, lounge and dining room to treat, it says drys within 6 - 12 hours, so should there be no foot traffic on the treated carpets before that, not very practical as the husband is housebound.
