In general, Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector can be used on cotton, polyester, silk, wool, acrylic, nylon, and most other washable fabrics. Do not use on “X” coded fabric (fabric that cannot be cleaned with water or solvents).
Beside this, what does Scotchgard protect against?
Durability and Protection Using Scotchgard™ lengthens the life of your upholstery, rugs, furniture and carpets, especially in high-traffic areas. It adds a layer of protection against dirt, water damage, mold, bacteria, and oil and water-based stains.
- Prepare. Protect surrounding non-fabric materials from overspray. If overspray occurs, quickly wipe up.
- Shake. Shake can well.
- Test. Test for colorfastness.
- Spray. Hold can upright 6'' (15cm) from fabric surface.
- Dry. Allow to dry between coats.
- Reapply. Reapply after every cleaning or annually to maintain protection.
Also to know is, how effective is Scotchgard?
Dean Davies, a professional upholstery and carpet-cleaning technician at U.K.-based Fantastic Services says, “Scotchgard provides reliable protection against spills and stains by not letting them settle on the surface of your furniture, and it's totally safe to use on delicate fabrics such as silk and wool.”
Water Resistance. A somewhat unsung property, wool is also highly water resistant. Untreated wools that still have the fatty lanolin from the original animal can be almost waterproof, and even fine wools give you some protection.
