The World’s Best Carpet Protector Copyright 2007 – Bridgepoint Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Without question, protector is your golden goose. There are very few occupations out there that allow the service provider to make $480 per hour. Maxim can do that and more.
Protector Stats What’s sad is the rather small percentage of cleaners that actually offer protector. Here are some alarming statistics: The highest priced companies (top 10% - 15%) offer it on every job The average priced companies offer protector only about half the time The lowest priced companies may have once heard of protector but didn’t really pay much attention.
Protector Stats I have heard just about every excuse why a cleaner will not offer protector. Here are a few of the more common ones. “The product is too expensive” “My customers cannot afford that stuff” “I don’t really believe it works” “It takes too long to apply”
Protector Stats “My customers don’t need it” “It’s not healthy” “What a scam” “I want to give my customers the best deal”
Protector Stats If protector truly did not work, then fiber producers, carpet mills, furniture manufacturers, chemical companies, auto makers and cleaning and maintenance companies have all collaborated to execute one of the largest scams in our nations history. This is literally a multi billion dollar industry. The product works.
Protector Stats Instead of looking for reasons not to offer protection services, look for reasons to offer it. Here are three pretty good ones: 1. It is extremely beneficial for those that need it. 2. It is extremely profitable for those that apply it. 3. It is recommended by the manufacturer.

Maxim Advanced Restores your carpet to “like new” condition Just as if it came from the carpet mill. It is not just a surface protection Oil resistant: Tracked in oil, cosmetics or spills don’t stick to fibers, making them much easier to clean up
Deep, Penetrating Stain Resistance: Maxim Advanced prevents staining from acid dyes such as those found in foods, sports/energy drinks and medications Resists and Repels Dry Soil: Allows for much more efficient vacuuming. Grit from these soils can work like sandpaper to make carpet fibers look dull and worn.
