Protectors, Sealers, and Coatings
Rugs
Carpet
Virtually all carpet that is manufactured in the United States has some type of fabric protector applied. Brand names such as Stain Master, Wear Dated, Teflon and Scotch guard all fall within that realm. Re-application of these factory applied treatments is always recommended to keep the stain and wear resistant properties of the carpet intact. Zerorez now offers you an after market treatment that is better and more effective than the original; Zerorez Premium Fiber Protector. Be sure to ask your service technician.
Outdoor Fabrics
Outdoor furnishings such as awnings, patio furniture and umbrellas are typically made from tough fabrics that are designed to be able to weather the elements. However, the combination of uV from the sun and the moisture from condensation and rain does call for an annual deep cleaning and application of sun fade and moisture repellent products to keep them performing well over the long-term. Zerorez offers you a choice of Solar Shield or Ray & Rain. A single application will create or restore superior waterproofing, stain and soil resistance.
Upholstery
Grout
Treating your grout with a penetrating sealer after cleaning will give you a longer lasting clean. The grout will clean-up easier.
Natural Stone
We see a lot of natural stone installations and it's surprising to find out that a lot of them did not get properly sealed after their installation. From travertine, marble, limestone and even granite they all benefit greatly from being sealed properly. Penetrating sealers will do this beautifully without changing the look or feel of the stone.

Coatings
Although the term sealers and coatings are used to sometimes describe the same item, we define them as separate. A sealer penetrates into the surface to protect the material its sealing from the inside out and it will not change the look and feel. A coating is applied to the outside and will have a sheen to it as it physically lays on top of the material its protecting.
Hardwood Floors
Any hardwood flooring installation will have a coating applied to protect it. These days it most likely will be a factory finish of Aluminum Oxide. However hard wax oiled flooring as well as polyurethane site cured floors are also found quite commonly. Applying a protective urethane coating after cleaning might make sense on a case by case basis.
Vinyl
Although vinyl flooring is not very common in residential settings we do find it quite a bit in medical offices and kitchen areas of office building. Whenever you hear the term "strip & wax" that usually refers to the process of a restorative cleaning (stripping) and then re-applying an acrylic wax as a finish coating to these type of floors.
