10 15spray 5 50 10 15______________________________________ many variations of the conditions for spray foam flex nip flood and pad applications are well known to those skilled in the art and the preceding conditions are provided as examples and not are intended to be exclusive in yet another embodiment of the invention the stain resist is applied before the soil resist the sequential application is followed by drying steaming rinsing and extraction steps are optional and when employed are at the conditions previously discussed chemical considerations determine whether the soil resist application is preferably before or after the stain resist application the important distinction of this invention is that the soil and stain resists are applied separately and both are applied before any finishing step thus the practice of the present invention includes both the application sequence stain resist then soil resist and the application sequence soil resist then stain resist the application sequence is dictated by the properties of the carpet the manufacturing equipment available and the chosen chemical treatments typically spraying the fluorochemical soil resist after applying the stain resist gives better fluorine retention but poorer stain resistance than when the stain resist is applied before the soil resist a wide range of stain resists and soil resists are suitable for use in the practice of the present invention suitable stain resists are polymers containing phenol.
