Not a "fun" thing to watch, but few very important things are.
It is important to understand why some of your customers are opting out of having protector applied. They may not tell you why, but often this is the reason.
The trend toward cleaning customers forgoing protective treatments varies by region of the country, and more specifically the worldview of the customer.
I'm finding that cleaners are becoming more aware of this issue, even ahead of their customers. I have a customer in Montana and one in Maryland who went PFAS free with their protectors without customer demand.
In other areas, designers are becoming more aware of the issue, and those selling protection through their customer base are needing to move to PFAS free products.
I am also saddened when I see PFAS products still being sold in, or shipped into, states that have forbidden their use in those states.

For other reasons I had a blood panel done this week which you would think with indicate that I've ingested far too many Teflon smoothies over the years but I'm healthy as a horse other than a slightly low testosterone count.
Which I'll blame on leaving the Republican party...

At this risk of further derailing this important thread:
A surprisingly amount of IICRC instructors who teach (or taught) restoration subjects, and had a history of providing those services, show antibodies for exposure to exposure to one or mulitple of the hepatitis alphabet soup of virus when having health checks related to life insurance coverage.
I have no doubt that a history of exposure to category 3 water intrusion and trauma scene cleanup in the days before PPE was an understood need put them in that position. No doubt plumbers are also in that category.
Food for thought for anyone performing those services who don't worry about PPE
OK, back to:
"Why your customers are scared of protector, and what to do about it"
