Directions:
Make sure the surface is clean and free of dirt. Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area. Spray 6-8″ away from the surface. Spray evenly and thoroughly but do not oversaturate. Remove any excess by blotting with a clean paper towel immediately. Allow the surface to air dry at room temperature for 30-60 min. Reapply and allow surface to air dry at room temperature for an additional 24 hrs. May take up to 72 hrs to achieve peak repellency. For best results, reapply every 4-6 months.
What makes DetraPel® different from its competitors?
Non-Toxic
DetraPel® formulas are non-toxic. Fluorochemicals / PFAS found in other liquid repellents are harmful and have been linked to cancer and birth defects. DetraPel® formulas are water-based PFAS-free using only natural and safe ingredients.
Longer Lasting
DetraPel® formulas can last 6 months if applied properly. Other leading brands only last a few weeks to a couple of months.
Safe On All Surfaces
DetraPel® sprays are invisible to the eye and don’t change the look or feel of your fabrics. Other leading brands may leave behind white streaks or damage the surface they are applied to. With DetraPel® you can rest assured that your fabrics will stay looking new longer.
What are fluorochemicals and why are they dangerous?
Check out our fluorochemicals / PFAS page to learn more about their dangers to humans, pets and the environment and how to reduce your exposure to them.
How soon after applying DetraPel® Carpet & Rug Protector, can I walk on my carpet?
We suggest applying two coats of DetraPel® Carpet & Rug Protector, 30 minutes apart and leaving the solution to dry overnight. It is recommended to leave any sprayed surface untouched for 24 hours, however if you’re unable to wait that long – please ensure that the protected floor covering is completely dry before using it as it requires time to cure. Please keep in mind that drying times may vary depending on temperature and humidity levels.
Will it protect against pet urine accidents?
Pet urine is very acidic and can virtually penetrate any protected barrier. While your pet’s accident may penetrate the protective layer, DetraPel® Carpet & Rug Protector is great for helping to reduce stains and improves stain-lifting capabilities. Depending on the type of carpet or rug, you may need to apply a thicker layer to thoroughly cover all the fibers on the entirety of the carpet. After an accident occurs we recommend cleaning it up as soon as possible. Take a paper towel to wipe up the liquid as it will puddle over the flat surface. If some of the urine penetrates the protective layer, first dab the area, then pour a little bit of water over the area and dab again. This should prevent the stain from soaking into the carpet permanently. The key is to act quickly as an accident that is left sitting on the carpet will eventually soak through.
How long does it last?
Depending on the use case, one application of DetraPel® can last up to 6 months if applied properly. Reapply DetraPel® after every time you wash the protected surface with water or a solvent-based cleaner. Protected floor coverings that are in high traffic areas may require reapplication more frequently.
Is DetraPel® safe to use near my pets and kids?
At DetraPel®, we put your family’s safety first. We want you to have the peace of mind in knowing that our products do not contain harmful chemicals that are known to be dangerous to you, your kids or your pets. So rest assured you can safely use DetraPel® on any product in your home.
Will it change the appearance or feel of my new rug?
No. DetraPel® does not change the look or feel of any surface. However, we do recommend testing in a hidden area for compatibility before a full application.
Do I need to use any special cleaners to after treatment?
No. In most cases a spill on a surface that has been protected by DetraPel® will not penetrate the protective barrier. A liquid spill will bead up and roll off or sit on top of the treated surface. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe/dab up any remaining liquid. If the spill occurs with force or is left to sit on the surface, then the liquid will begin to seep between the fibers of the surface. A quick response is ideal, but when it’s not possible you may need to pour a small amount of water on the area that has been penetrated. The water will lift the colored liquid off the surface’s fibers. Lightly wipe/dab the wet surface until it appears that the stain has been lifted. The surface should dry without any staining. If there still appears to be some staining, pour more water and dab again. In rare circumstances you may need to use soap to remove the rest of the stain.
How often do I need to reapply it?
For best results, reapply every 4-6 months.
How much can I protect with one bottle of DetraPel® Carpet & Rug Protector?
A 200 ml (6.8 oz) bottle can cover 20.4 ft²
A 150 ml (5 oz) bottle can cover 15 ft²
A 75 ml (2.5 oz) bottle can cover 7.5 ft²

Gaelen Kash –
Question for you guys… we have two large dogs that get up on the fabric sofas. The reason we are purchasing the product is for the dirt/slobber that gets on our sofas and not as much for spills. Can we use the Carpet & Rug product on our fabric Sofas instead of the fabric protector? What is the difference between the two products? Thanks
DetraPel –
Hi, thanks for your question! All of our fabric protectors have the same base formula and can be used interchangeably across various surfaces. Some of the protectors have additives that enhance the performance on certain materials. For example, the Outdoor Fabric Protector has protective properties against UV rays. The Carpet & Rug and Upholstery Protectors can both be used inside on household fabrics.

I bought this for my white rug. It works like a charm.

I have a dog and a cat, and as a result I’ve usually had to clean my area rug several times a week.
Last month I got fed up with all the cleaning, and decided to give this a shot. I deep-cleaned my 8’x12’ rug and allowed it to fully dry before applying this product, then I applied it according to the directions.
Overall, I have definitely noticed that I’ve had to spot clean much less often, and when I do have to clean occasional messes and spills, it does seem like liquid doesn’t soak into the rug as much as it used to so it’s been easier to clean. I’ve noticed significant results, so I highly recommend it.
Ginny Jericho –
I love the product, it actually repels liquids and helps to keep my carpet cleaner than before. I just wish there was a bigger bottle to do a whole carpet.
Melissa J –
I was honestly shocked at the difference at the before and after of this product. It actually works as described. Sometimes liquid will get through, but then its really easy to clean up the spot with just water and papertowel. Recommend it!
Helen Chang –
I used to use Scotchgard which had an awful odor – I like that DetraPel is very mild. I can spray it inside and the spray is not bothersome.

I bought the larger version of this product and tried a trigger sprayer at first. It was ok, but then I tried an HVLP sprayer to spray it on our carpet. That worked best for my large area, I just wish there was a spray mechanism that was included with the product.

Helped prevent major damage from my recent wine spill. A bit of the wine soaked through but it came up really easy with just water. Phew!
Karen Kleighn –
I hired a carpet cleaning company last year to do my Aubusson light blue floral rugs and they had switched to this product instead of using the toxic stuff. It’s nice to be able to use the room right after the service because the toxic fumes are no longer an issue. And I’ve actually been rebuying the consumer size to do a touch up on the protector about every 4-5 months.
