protectME can be used on rugs and carpets. Most of them will require two coats of fabric protector, because they are made of thick and absorbent materials. This is all the more true if the rug or carpet has got a high pile — shaggy rugs are the perfect example. We recommend brushing the rug or carpet with the back of a broom in a back and forth motion after you have sprayed protectME on the surface area, to ensure even coating. Applied properly, protectME will be able to coat each individual strand of material, making the fabric water repellent and stain proof. However, liquids can still get in between the strands, so always be very careful and meticulous when dabbing off liquids.
