3M Scotchgard Fabric/Carpet Cleaner

This cleaner is designed for general household textiles like carpets, upholstery, and curtains. We recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area first to check for colorfastness, and it is generally best to avoid using it on delicate materials like silk, leather, or suede.

No, the deep-foaming action is formulated to lift dirt and then dissipate. Once the foam has dried and you have vacuumed or blotted the area as directed, it should not leave a tacky or sticky residue behind.

The cleaner leaves behind a microscopic barrier on the fabric fibers. This layer helps repel liquids and prevents dirt from bonding to the material, making it easier to clean up spills before they become permanent stains.

Once the treated area is completely dry, it is safe for pets and children to be on the surface. However, as with most cleaning chemicals, you should keep pets and children away from the area while you are actively applying the foam and letting it set.

No rinsing is required. Simply spray the foam onto the stain, let it penetrate the fibers, and then blot or vacuum the area once it has dried according to the instructions on the can.
