Keep your car fabrics dry & looking their best with protectME!
Car seats & car floors can be the biggest collector of food bits, dirt, spills and child mishaps. Keeping your car’s interior clean is not only important for hygiene and health but ensures that the appearance is well maintained and looking its best should you ever wish to sell.
How to apply protectME
Applying protectME takes just minutes. Follow our simple step-by-step guide to get the best results on your carpets and rugs.
Before applying protectME, give your car interior a thorough clean. Vacuum the seats, floor mats and carpet lining to remove any dirt, dust or food crumbs. Shake out floor mats and wipe down any hard surfaces with a microfibre cloth. Once you're confident the interior is clean, it's time for the important part - protection!
Start with one coat, you can apply an additional coat for thicker fabrics (refer to our How to apply page for more details). Allow between 12-24 hours for the protector to dry, and you’re all set! Unlike mainstream fabric protectors formulated with toxic chemicals, our non toxic formula doesn’t require you to vacate the premises during the drying period.
For most standard upholstery and fabric surfaces we recommend using 100ml of fabric protector per M2 of the 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 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.

Some fabrics will require a second coat of product to be applied with an additional 100ml per M2 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 (Jute rugs: Protecting, Cleaning & Styling)

Yes! Keeping your car interiors looking their best for a fraction of the price, not to mention toxic chemical free, is as simple as investing in an eco-friendly stain guard. Plus, it’s a one time job and will keep your car interior and car seats protected for up to 3 years, depending on traffic and use. protectME non-toxic fabric protector spray is your shield against dirt, liquids and crumbs. Your new go-to alcantara protection! Follow our simple guide for stain proof confidence.
Stain proof your car in just 5 simple steps:
- Get ready: You want to start with a clean surface, so get that vacuum out to the driveway and give your seats a thorough once over to remove any crumbs or dirt.
- Spot test: protectME is suitable for suede and alcantara materials, but it’s always a good idea to do a quick spot check. Spray a small concealed area to make sure its colourfast.
- Protect: Spray using a back and forth motion over your car seats, interiors and steering wheel until the fabric is moist. Our battery operated sprayer is our go-to to avoid wrist fatigue!
- Patience is key: Don’t jump in with that tall latte just yet. Give your newly protected upholstery 12 hours to dry and your spill-proof alcantara will be worth the wait.
- Take your new protection for a test drive: Spray a small amount of water on your seats, if small beads of water appear on the surface then you are ready to roll. If not, it’s best to do another coat just to be sure.

Tip: Keep a soft cloth in your glove box. This way, if your green juice does take a tumble simply wipe away the liquid and the mess is gone! Always prefer reusable cloth over disposable paper towels.
