You've invested money in your new upholstered furniture, but do you have it protected? If you have had your furniture upholstered by a professional upholsterer or if you have bought new furniture then chances are you have had your furniture protected by a product that most people think of as 'Scotchgard'™ But not everyone has their couches protected, or you may have had your couch for a long time, then the 'Scotchgard'™ has probably worn or washed off over time so is it a good idea to get hold of a can or two (you can find it HERE and HERE) and protect your furniture?
Yes it's a good idea, a very good idea, even if you don't have kids. If you have animals or if you've ever spilled some juice on the couch, accidentally made a mark with a pen or had some other incident then you'll be glad you did.
Scotchgard™ will not protect against everything, it is a stain resister but it's not bullet proof. If you don't attend to marks and spills straight away then the chances of that mark setting, are still high. So it's a good policy no matter if your furniture is protected or not, to get out a damp cloth quick smart.
If you do buy Scotchgard™ then make sure you are wise and test the product in an inconspicuous spot before committing to the whole piece, as it depends on what fabric you are putting it on. You cannot use the product on suede or leather, but microfibre is fine since it's polyester.
While you're protecting your couch, don't forget your throw pillows as well. You my also want to consider spraying your curtains. If you are interested in the 101 things to spray Scotchgard™on, you can check out their website. (They have different products for different surfaces.)
