How to use protectME

For most standard upholstery and fabric surfaces we recommend using 3.3fl oz of fabric protector per 10ft² of surface. 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 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 and rugs, especially if not kept undercover or exposed to the elements;
• Highly absorbent fabrics and materials, such as linen and jute

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?’ on our FAQs page.
