Do you need carpet stain protector?

The answer to this question is a resounding YES. As traffic passes through your home, dirt particles drop past the fibers of your carpet and lay on the backing. Most of these particles are fine in nature and normal vacuumng does not have the ability to catch these particles. When you walk across your carpet you create traffic patterns and when the weight of your body squishes the fiber into the backing those particles act like sandpaper scratching the fiber and dulling its luster. This is why you see traffic patterns in your home even after a clean. By adding stain protector you protect the fiber from scratching. An added bonus to stain protector is that it will not allow as many paricles to fall past the fiber allowing your vacuum to clean more effieciently. Furthermore, stain protector prevents stains from occuring when anything is spilled on your carpet. In the long run your carpet stays clean and years of life are added to a very large investment of your home. I can tell you first hand that this Maxim Advanced, made by Bridgepoint, is a top notch stain protector.  I have used other name brand protectors and this product simply works better
