Shield your surfaces and eliminate odors with our expert protect and deodorize treatments.

Over time, your carpets and upholstered furniture go through a lot: spills, foot traffic, pet accidents, and everyday wear. At Fosters Steamer, we help San Antonio homes and businesses preserve the freshness and longevity of their soft surfaces with our Protect & Deodorize services. These professional-grade treatments create a barrier against stains while neutralizing unpleasant odors, keeping your space cleaner, longer.

What is Carpet and Upholstery Protectant?

Protectant is a specialized solution applied to fabrics and fibers after cleaning to create an invisible shield. This barrier helps repel dirt, liquid spills, and oils, giving you more time to blot messes before they become permanent stains.

Even if your carpet or upholstery came with a manufacturer-applied protectant, it wears off over time and must be reapplied regularly to stay effective.

Benefits of Our Fabric Protection Service:

  • Prevents stains from setting in

  • Makes cleanup easier and faster

  • Prolongs the life of carpets and furniture

  • Helps maintain the appearance of high-traffic areas

  • Safe for children and pets

What Does Deodorizing Do?

Our deodorizing service targets odor-causing bacteria embedded deep within your carpet or furniture. Unlike store-bought sprays that only mask odors, we use enzyme-based, eco-friendly deodorizers that eliminate odors at the source.

Odors We Eliminate:

  • Pet urine and dander

  • Food and beverage spills

  • Smoke and cooking odors

  • Mold and mildew

  • General mustiness from moisture or aging fabric

Our deodorizing treatment leaves your space not just smelling fresh, but actually clean.

How Our Process Works

Fosters Steamer follows a proven multi-step method to apply protectant and deodorizer after cleaning.

1. Inspection

We identify high-use areas and materials that will benefit most from protection.

2. Deep Cleaning

Before applying any products, we thoroughly clean carpets or upholstery to remove dirt, debris, and residue.

3. Application of Protectant

We apply a uniform coating of premium protectant that bonds to fibers without altering color or texture.

4. Application of Deodorizer

We use a fogging or spray system to deliver an odor-neutralizing solution that reaches deep into fibers.

5. Post-Treatment Review

We inspect results and provide care instructions to help maintain the treatment.
