Liquid Shield Application

You work hard to keep your furniture clean. You have the upholstery cleaned, you keep the pets off, you make sure no shoes are ever on the sofa—but even being as careful as you can, accidents can still happen. And it’s awful! No one likes looking at a big wine stain on that beautiful white upholstery.

Besides routine cleanings, there are a few things you can do to protect your furniture from damage that don’t take away from the look. After all, having to drape tough sofa covers over your furniture to protect it defeats the look you were going for in the first place when you bought it!

A great option is liquid shield protection applied by our professional technicians. Properly applied, a coat will keep your couch or carpet from absorbing those pesky stains and keep it looking fresh for years without damaging the aesthetic.

What is liquid shield protection?

There are many types of liquid shield protection for furniture, but most work on the principle of sealing up the porous surfaces to keep them from absorbing liquids. However, not every spray works with every sofa, and not every spray is the same.

Most sprays will include a recommended set of fabrics suitable for it, and some sofas will as well. But it can be hard to determine what will be the most effective and achieve the protection you want. On top of that, some types of fabrics aren’t recommended for sprays at all, or may not take to them well. This applies to carpets as well—the same types of protective sprays can be used to protect carpeting or rugs from stains, but the same spray won’t work on all types of materials.

That’s where professionals come in! In the course of a regular cleaning, you can also ask us to schedule an application of liquid shield protection. After we determine what kind of fabric we are working with and what kind of protection you want, we can make a decision and carefully apply a coat of sealant that will keep your furniture safe from stains for at least one year!

Like most elements of care, fabric spray does occasionally have to be reapplied to keep the protection intact. When you schedule your professional cleanings, you can also ask for the cleaners to check whether your fabric protective spray needs to be updated. Depending on how much the furniture is used, the type of spray used, and other factors, the time between reapplications may vary.

Furniture is an investment as well as a part of you and your family’s daily lives. A little routine cleaning and long-term care can go a long way in the life span of your favorite couch or chair, and can give you peace of mind about how clean your home really is.
