What is the difference with the fabric and upholstery scotch guard and the carpet scotch guard? Is it safe to use this kind on an area shag rug?

The Carpet version seems to have a different, more "foamy" consistency, and it has (at least the older-looking cans I have used) had a spray designed for upside-down use. I have used the "standard" version on automobile carpets, and it seems to work just fine, though it is harder to see where it has just been applied.

I only know about the rug Dr. as that is the one I bought. We are very very happy with it. Wish I could be of more help. good luck on which ever one you choose.

I used it on carpet and with a very large rug. It works great at keeping the rug down. I have lifted it up to see if residue was left and so far so good. I have only had it on for about 6 months so I'm not sure if residue would occur if left on for a long period but I'm happy with the results so far.

It is cloth so I would think you can. If you think it is going to get dirty then if I were you I would go to somewhere like Wal-Mart and get a cheap can of scotch guard and spray the cloth on both sides. You would probably need 2 to 3 cans to do this, but scotch guard is cheap. And then for sure you could spot wash it. There is no where where you can take off the cloth and wash it in a machine. But if you do as I directed you definate could spot wash it. I personally have no need to have to wash mine so I don't know if you could spot wash the fabric as is, but I am guessing you could, but without scotch guarding it may keep a small stain.

I have light colored carpeting and brand new navy slipcovers, and I saw no damage. they do suggest that you test it somewhere where you can't see it, but I didn't bother. good luck, Susan! best, Pat

It might depend on the material/quality of the area rug whether or not it might wrinkle. However, these sliders were wonders on all my furniture when I got new carpet. The contents of the furniture were not removed, and a few pieces were old solid Victorian style pieces which one can never budge. With these sliders, the furniture glided over the old ruined carpet before and after installation of new carpet. A friend of mine uses them with her area rugs, so I don't think you'd have a serious problem regardless of size of area rug. It is amazing how these little sliders let furniture glide as one were ice skating!

I don't know what size you rug is, but my area rug is about 9X12 and it took the entire container. I do not recommend if the nap on the rug is shaggy. The cleaner is a (fine) granular sand and works similar to the Resolve carpet cleaner (Shake bottle).

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

Think of it as a square cut out of a padded mattress cover with plastic backing. It protects beds from human excrement so should protect a rug from a little pooch 's "accidents " and around and under the tray. My concern about using it INSTEAD of puppy pads would be confusion. Little guy might think other "fabrics " might be lofty pads.

I do not know if it works on those fabrics since I have never had to use it on them. I have used it on my dining room chairs and carpeting with no problem but not sure of the fabric on the chairs. Sorry I can't help you.

I honestly don't know but, I don't think so. My wife bought scotch guard and we used it the same day it arrived.

I use any kind of rug cleaner in mine and it doesn't seem to matter. I think its only intended to spray a fine mist so quite often when I want more liquid I just spray the cleaner from the bottle I buy it in like Bissell or Rug Doctor or Oxyclean, which ever you buy. This tool works great for when my dog barfs up his dog food when he's a pig,lol. No touching, just scoop,scrape and dump down toilet. I highly recommend this tool for pet owner's.

I have plush carpet & it works beautifully. I don't know how it would work on shag carpet.

I would advise against it as a Steam cleaner/ extractor for carpets with an upholstery attachment is much more suited as it sucks up all the moisture which a hard surface steamer such as the Steam Fast model you are asking about does not have the ability to extract. Fabric and especially upholstery is subject to mildew and mold if not dried completely, so I personally would not risk that or altering the color.I have a Hoover Steam Cleaner/ Extractor that works well for that job.

I have never tried this product on a Cotton Fabric, but I would certainly not guarantee that it would. So far, after using two different Products of Scotch Guard, I think I would try a Product named CAMP DRY. James L. Powell.
