Ready to stain proof your life?

For most standard upholstery and fabric surfaces we recommend using 3.3fl oz of fabric protector per 10ft² of surface per coat. It doesn’t need to be exact, just make sure the fabric is saturated with product. Please note saturating does not apply for leather, suede and velvet. We recommend a light spray and then gently “buffing” the product into the fibres with a soft, clean cloth. If you are spraying large areas, we recommend using our battery sprayer to ensure even application and avoid wrist fatigue.

Some fabrics will require a second coat of product to be applied with an additional 3.3fl oz of fabric protector per 10ft² within 30 minutes of the first application. These include but are not limited to:

• Heavy or thick fabrics, as they tend to be more absorbent, such as heavyweight linen;
• Textured fabrics or materials, like woven fabrics where the weave is particularly visible; rugs and carpets, especially shaggy type ones with long strands;
• Outdoor fabrics, especially if not kept undercover or exposed to the elements;
• Highly absorbent fabrics and materials, such as linen and jute ;
• Napped or pile fabrics — please read ‘Does protectME work on napped fabrics such as velvet, suede or microfiber?’

If you are unsure about the type of fabric you have or have any questions, send our friendly customer service team a message and include a photo of your fabric and we’ll do our best to help you

protectME is a water based, non toxic fabric protector that is safe to use on most fabric or textile surfaces: cotton, suede, leather, synthetics, wool and silk to name a few. Different fabrics will require different amounts of product to be protected, please read ‘How do I know how much product to apply?’ on our FAQs page to find out more.

Some precautions:

• As some colour dyes are not colour fast, particularly rugs that are using vegetable dyes for example (usually vintage or handmade rugs), we recommend testing the surface in a small inconspicuous area for colour fastness prior to applying all over.
• If you have applied another fabric protector prior to using protectME, please read ’Can I apply protectME after applying another fabric protector?’.

Before applying protectME, vacuum any surfaces thoroughly & remove any existing stains. If you are applying to clothes or shoes, clean in cold water only to remove any traces of detergents or softeners. Be sure to remove any cleaning products prior to application.

How to apply protectME:

1. Check your fabric: Shake well and apply to a small test area for colour fastness. Not all textiles are colourfast.
2. Spray away: Spray an even layer from 6in in a back & forth motion so that textile becomes moist.
3. Wait for it: Allow a minimum of 12 hours for coating to cure. In temperatures below 64°C allow up to 24 hours.
4. Test for coverage: By spraying a little water on the textile. Small beads should form on the surface. If not, additional application may be required.

No, protectME does not smell, it’s completely free of fragrances or masking scents, unlike traditional fabric protectors.

For more information about ingredients, please read the dedicated page.

protectME is made with pure silica (SiO2), an inert substance found in nature in things like sand or quartz; and that is already in use in many products such as glass or the water we drink. We only use non-toxic, eco-friendly ingredients, and our fabric protector spray is water based. Maybe more importantly, ingredients we do not use (and that you really don’t want to spray in your house):

• PFAS, also known as PFOA, PFOS, PFCs/Fluorocarbons, GenX,
  No parabens, sulphates, phosphates, petrochemicals, chlorine, soap, alcohol or dyes,
  Fragrances or colours.
