Non toxic fabric protector:
Safer for your family & our planet
Traditional fabric protectors we have applied on our household surfaces and upholstery for the last few decades contain highly toxic synthetic chemicals, which are harmful to our health and the planet. These chemicals, known as polyfluorinated alkyl substances or PFAS, have been shown to have a causal link to changes in the liver, thyroid and pancreas, as well as hormonal changes, which can lead to potential cancer risk. PFAS are very persistent in the environment and in the human body – meaning they don’t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects.
Here is a breakdown of ingredients found in traditional fabric protectors vs our eco friendly, non toxic product:
Ingredients | Traditional Fabric Protectors | protectME Fabric Protector |
---|---|---|
Hydrotreated heavy naphtha (petroleum) (c11-c13) * | YES | NO |
Propane/Butane/Isobutane/Ethylbenzene * | YES | NO |
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane * | YES | NO |
Flamable Aerosole * | YES | NO |
Sio2 (silicon dioxide) | NO | YES |
Efficiency & durability
protectME repels liquid & stains more effectively than traditional fabric protectors & lasts longer (up to 2-3 years).
Safe for the family & planet
protectME is completely harmless to our bodies and the environment, being water based and non toxic.
Odour free
Contrary to products containing toxic chemicals, protectME does not smell. No need to open the windows & leave the room!
😷 The average household contains
62 toxic chemicals 😷
Scary, isn’t it? We think so too.
That’s why we’ve decided to develop an eco friendly, non toxic fabric protector, as an alternative to mainstream products.
We are on a mission to spread the message and help people live in a toxic free home.
FAQs
Our eco friendly fabric protector is PFAS free. It is made with pure silicon dioxide (SiO2), an inert substance that surrounds us in nature as sand or quartz; the most abundant family of materials on Earth.
Silicone dioxide (SiO2) is a natural substance that is already in use in many products around us, like glass, concrete, cosmetics, food and even the water we drink. protectME does not create silica dust, the silicone dioxide in protectME is amorphous, which means it does not crystallise. For this reason, it is not a health concern.
The recent advancements in nanotechnology have allowed to alter silicon dioxide into its nanoparticle form (meaning each particle size is as small as 1 billionth of a metre), creating such a thin, malleable layer that it could be used as an effective protection barrier on different surfaces.
Non-toxic fabric protectors like protectME have been shown to surpass mainstream protector sprays in every way.
- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as PFOA, PFOS, PFCs/Fluorocarbons, GenX (replacement chemical in latest versions of mainstream fabric protectors)
- NO other chemicals – that means NO parabens, sulphates, phosphates, petrochemicals, chlorine, soap, alcohol or dyes,
- Fragrances or colours.
We are committed to being as ethical as possible:
- Our products are cruelty free, made without animal testing
- Our products are vegan and do not include any animal products
- Our bottles are made of BPA-free plastic, fully recyclable, including labels
- We offer bulk sizes to encourage refills and limit the amount of plastic used
