Ever used carpet protectant to extend life of new carpets?

Hi, all, 

Surprised I have seen this before: I just put down new carpet in a rental, and I'm wondering how I can insure it lasts more than a year or two. Has anyone tried carpet protectant, like 3M Scotchgard or Dupont Teflon, to protect new carpets so they last longer? (I've had great luck with Scotchgard on fabric upholstery...water/stains do bead up and run off. )

I'm hoping professional cleaning between tenants followed by one of these treatments would make the carpet last longer and clean up better. Thanks to anyone who has a recommendation.
