THE SAFETY AND TOXICITY OF FABRIC GUARD PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET

 

As a part of your due diligence when searching for the best fabric protector, the safety of the chemicals used and their effects on children, animals and adults must be considered in detail.  While some chemicals may be fairly safe for humans to be around, they could be quite toxic to animals; and visa versa.

The opportunity to guard against wear and tear of fibres to ensure they look new for as long as possible and the colours stay vibrant, is as soon as they arrive from the supplier to a home or office; before they are used. So being ready with the safest product that provides the best and longest protection is vital.

In this analysis we are considering the

1. toxicity,
2. whether or not the products provide a bacteriostatic environment,
3. are the fibres safe to touch after application, and
4. does the product contain fluorocarbons

Toxicity

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTectors® formula contains no harmful PFOA or PFOS Ingredients. Fiber ProTector is the only protection product in the world to earn the EnviroSeal® certification!
EnviroSeal® is an evaluation and certification for environmentally responsible maintenance products suitable for use on carpets, rugs and furnishing fabrics.		 Other protection products utilize outdated, harmful chemical that contain PFOA and PFOS which have been shown to be extremely persistent chemicals, both in the environment and in human tissue.
Recent studies have linked these chemicals to serious damage to the immune systems in children.

Bacteriostatic

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTector® mechanically creates a clinically proven Bacteriostatic environment on textiles it is applied to. This “Bac-Stat” Environment has
been tested to show a 99.9% reduction in mould, mildew and bacteria propagation.		 Other protection products have no known benefit of performance in this area.

Safe for Contact

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTector® has been clinically proven via independent third party testing to be harmless to humans. Fiber ProTector® is chemically inert once it has
dried.		 Many Protection products contain ingredients that are known to have irritant causing effects to humans. (In some cases, capable of producing serious health
issues.)

Fluorocarbons

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTector® proprietary formula has been laboratory verified to contain no
Fluorocarbons whatsoever.		 Some of the most recognizable names in protection products are fluorocarbon based. Fluorocarbons are industrial chemicals that produce potent greenhouse gases, and some form toxic compounds that can accumulate in the environment.

With so many Fabric protectors or fabric guards on the market, 
WHICH PRODUCTS PROVIDE THE BEST WEAR AND TEAR? 

When we purchase new furniture or a new rug or curtains we have the opportunity to guard against wear and tear of of the fibres to ensure they look new for as long as possible and the colours stay vibrant.

However, not all fabric protectors are made equal, and in fact there are many that will damage the fibres, wear off quickly or need frequent re-application.

Our 1st infographic outlines the 4 wear and tear concerns for fabric protection, or fabric guard, and how Fibre Protector stands up against other products.

Stain Protection

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
FIber ProTector® creates an invisible shield against oil and water-based stain causing liquids and soil types. It even provides a reduction in damage causing UV exposure. Other protection products provide a basic level of protection from some oil and water-based liquids. Few protection products have any UV protection qualities at all.

Long Life

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTector’s nanotechnology-based formula makes a penetrating bond. Although no protection product will last forever, Fiber ProTector® will provide superior protecting performance for many years and will survive many professional cleanings. Traditional surface barrier protection products can be removed easily by normal wear and professional cleanings. These topical treatments will need reapplication every 6 to 12 months or after professional or DIY cleanings.

No Silicon

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTectors® proprietary formula contains no Silicone. Never has…never will! Many well-known protection products contain Silicone. Silicone has been known to cause a yellowing effect to some fibers and as it breaks down, actually becomes a soil attractant and voids most textile manufacturers warranties.

Fiber Wear

Fiber Protector®

Other Products
Fiber ProTector® reduces surface tension. This prevents damage causing particles from attaching to fibers and reduces fiber to fiber contact which leads to fiber wear. Other protection products provide time limited protection and will need more frequent reapplications for long term performance. Every 6 to 12 months or after professional or DIY cleanings.

When your textiles are treated by Premium Surface Protection textile treatments, simply follow these simple guidelines when dealing with liquid and other spills.

Firstly, look for manufacturer’s textile specific cleaning instructions as some fibre compositions can be permanently damaged by using incorrect methods and even collapse with the addition of water. Otherwise,  BLOT– DILUTE – BLOT, using water and then clean up with WonderSpot.

To BLOT means to NEVER RUB OR SCRUB!

Use absorbent paper towel, or ideally the PSP SuperSoaker Absorbent Chamois Sponge, applying pressure until all liquid has been absorbed. Ensure to continue to change the absorbent paper for clean paper while applying pressure, or wring out the Chamois as needed.
For fatty/oil spills (eg ice-cream or gravy) use WonderSpot which contains a mild PH to break down the spill, and then continue to blot with absorbent paper or Chamois.

The most effective way to clean up spilled Coffee & Wine

by | Sep 18, 2021 | Cleaning up Spills, fabric protection, Rug protection

Life’s little accidents don’t need to become major disasters. 

UH OH – THERE GOES THE COFFEE! 

Sound and feel familiar?

We all know that sinking feeling as you scramble for the closest cloth or paper to get to the liquid before it sinks into the fabric or rug……but it doesn’t have to be that way!

Accidents will happen. At some stage someone will bump someone else holding a coffee, the rich red wine splashes while being poured or the orange juice slurps out of the glass onto your favourite cushion.

So protecting your soft furnishings and rugs and carpets provides peace of mind. It allows you not to have to focus on what people are doing, but focus on them being a part of the activities.

When that is taken care of, the clean up is much easier and incredibly effective.

Firstly, look for manufacturer’s textile specific cleaning instructions as some fibre compositions can be permanently damaged by using incorrect methods and even collapse with the addition of water. Otherwise,  BLOT – DILUTE – BLOT

WET SPILLS

Use water to clean up water-based spills (eg tea) and most other beverages; these need nothing more than water. Simply blot as much of the spill as possible and then dilute with just a little bit of water and then blot again. Never over wet or saturate the contaminated textile!

BLOT – DILUTE – BLOT

What does BLOT mean?

It means to NEVER RUB OR SCRUB!

Use absorbent paper towel, or ideally the PSP SuperSoaker Absorbent Chamois Sponge, applying pressure until all liquid has been absorbed. Ensure to continue to change the absorbent paper for clean paper while applying pressure, or wring out the Chamois as needed.
For fatty/oil spills (eg ice-cream or gravy) use WonderSpot which contains a mild PH to break down the spill, and then continue to blot with absorbent paper or Chamois.

DRIED LIQUID SPILLS

Lightly re-wet the spill and follow the instructions above under the heading BLOT – NEVER RUB OR SCRUB

WET OR DRIED SOLIDS

Remove as much of the solids as possible by vacuum or blunt spoon or knife, then treat as above, either as a WET SPILL or DRIED LIQUID SPILL.
Some light or delicate textiles may need professional attention in either a wet extraction, very low moisture cleaning or dry cleaning if there are any marks still showing.

3 Reasons You Should Use a Fabric Protector on Your lounge, Sofa or Dining Chairs

by | Aug 16, 2021 | fabric protection, Interior Design

3 Reasons you should use a fabric protector on your lounge, sofa & dining chairs

Why protect your lounge, sofa or dining chairs?

Life is busy. Little people and big people fill your house, and accidents will happen. At some stage someone will bump someone else holding a cuppa, the chocolate cake crumbs will make their way into the sofa fabric weave and a splash of juice will stain the upholstered dining chairs.

So protecting your sofa or lounge provides peace of mind. It allows you not to have to focus on what people are doing, but focus on them and being a part of the activities.

In brief – a fibre protector applied to your sofa or lounge will

 

      1. protect it from stains and spills
      2. make it much easier and more effective when you need to clean
      3. and will help protect your health
Premium Surface Protection for fabric sofas

1. Protect from Stains and Spills

Owning soft furnishings like a lovely comfortable fabric lounge or sofa or beautifully upholstered dining chairs always come with that nagging voice in your head ”don’t drop anything on it!’. Most of the time if we have kids, that voice is not just in our heads, but is audible many times a day!

From cake, chocolate and cheese to coffee and other drinks, we are constantly watching out for our furnishings trying to avoid the inevitable.

If you could protect your soft furnishings, and have a professional guarantee that they would be protected from stains and spills, then it makes perfect sense to take that extra step to protect them and have them looking their best for longer.

 

How does a fabric protector work to protect from stains on your lounge or sofa?

Premium Surface Protection products (Fiber Protector or MicroSeal) work via nanotechnology, penetrating the textiles they are applied to to give a high level of permanency. Premium Surface Protection products are not coaters like Scotchgarde and teflon style products, and don’t carry the health risks or performance effectiveness issues associated with these types of products; so they are really safe for the whole family, including the little 4-legged ones!.

Accidents naturally will happen.

The coffee splash, the red wine spill, the smudged in chocolate from little fingers, or a drop of oil from your favourite cheese; but all these can be simply cleaned up if you have protected your fabric before they happen.

Depending on the spill, you may only need an absorbent paper or chamois to catch up the beading on top of the fibres.

If the spill does sink into the fibres, use an absorbent paper or chamois, and then a spot cleaner like Wonderspot to raise the contaminants to the surface and then blot away.

2. Make it easier and more effective when it comes to cleaning

Fabric protectors help increase surface tension. This means that any liquid spilt on the fibre cannot easily penetrate the surface. With proper application, fabric protectors applied to your fabrics will prevent immediate absorption of any spills, and can effectively be absorbed with a chamois or absorbent paper.

Due to the increased surface tension and fibre protection, dust, dirt and crumbs don’t get trapped inside the fibres and break up within the fibres causing more mess and internal staining. The dust, dirt and crumbs sit high up in the weave and can be more effectively removed with vacuuming faster and with no fibre damage. This makes the whole cleaning process easy.

 

3. Protecting the fibres means protecting your health

Fibres in your lounge or sofa are the perfect place for allergens, mites, moulds and other disease-causing germs to grow and cause health issues. Without proper protection and cleaning, germ-ridden furniture and carpets can cause major health issues for any member of the family.

 

How does a fibre protector stops allergens, mites, mould and other germs?

The nanotechnology of Fiber ProTector and MicroSeal keep the allergens out of the upholstery fillings and they can then be easily vacuumed up.
