Everything you need to know

For most standard upholstery and fabric surfaces we recommend using 100ml of fabric protector per square meter (M2) of surface. It doesn’t need to be exact, just make sure the fabric is saturated with product.

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.

2-3 years depending on traffic & use (much longer than traditional products) or up to 30 washes!

Unopened bottles will last 2 years in +3°C to 30°C temperatures.
