Abstract: A system and method for applying a polymer surface treatment to carpets and other textiles is provided. The system and method include the use of a surfactant-free emulsion of a surface treatment polymer. The use of the surfactant-free emulsion of a surface treatment polymer reduces or eliminates the need to use pH adjusting agents and/or ionic salt solutions when applying surface treatment polymers to carpets or other textiles. By reducing the need to remove surfactants, emulsifiers, pH adjusting agents, and/or salts, the total volume of water used in treating carpets or other textiles is reduced.
