XO2 Fibre Guard is a water based fabric protector for carpet, upholstery and rugs, used by carpet cleaners and facility teams. In 500ml and 5L.
What it does
Fibre Guard lays an invisible fluorochemical polymer shield over each fibre, so water and oil spills bead up instead of soaking in and can be blotted before they set. XO2 adds red dye blockers and says vacuuming becomes 50% to 70% more effective on treated carpet. The SDS classes it as not hazardous.
Where to use it
- Domestic and commercial carpet in nylon, polypropylene and wool
- Upholstery, rugs and drapes that can be cleaned with water
- Hotel rooms, offices, nursing homes, cinemas and car seats
It sits in our Disinfectants and General Cleaning range. Protection usually follows a clean, for example with XO2 iExtract.
How to use
Add the water to the Fibre Guard, not the reverse.
| Fibre condition | Mix | Apply per 5m² |
|---|---|---|
| Damp, just cleaned | 60% water, 40% Fibre Guard | 340ml short pile to 510ml long pile |
| Dry | 80% water, 20% Fibre Guard | 575ml short pile to 850ml long pile |
- Use a low pressure sprayer at 30 to 50psi; XO2 suggests an 80-04 tip.
- From 25cm to 50cm away, spray overlapping passes side to side, then front to back.
- Wet the fibres well but stop before they drip.
- Work it in with a carpet rake, or a soft brush on upholstery.
- Let it dry before traffic returns, then rinse the sprayer with clean water.
Safe on / avoid
It suits fibres that tolerate water, wool included. Keep it off delicate fibres and dry clean only fabrics; XO2 points those to a solvent based protector. Never mix it with other chemicals, discard mixed solution after 24 hours and test a hidden spot first. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

▸How long does fabric protection last on carpet?
About two years on carpet cleaned yearly, or a year on six monthly cleans. XO2 suggests reapplying after every second clean.
▸Can Fibre Guard go on wool carpet?
Yes. XO2 lists it as wool friendly, and it also suits nylon and polypropylene.
▸Does new carpet need cleaning before fabric protection?
Not always. XO2 notes that brand new carpet and upholstery may skip the pre-clean.
▸Is Fibre Guard pet friendly?
Yes, says XO2, as long as pets stay out until the carpet is fully dry.
