Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield, 13.5 Ounces, Repels Water, Ideal for Couches, Pillows, Furniture, Shoes and More, Long Lasting Protection

poncho and trousers, and it does exactly what I need it to—it keeps my gear from wetting out and helps it dry out much faster. The spray goes on easily, dries clear, and doesn’t affect the breathability of the fabric, which is super important in our humid weather.It worked so well on my rain gear that I’ve started using it around the house, too. I recently got a new sofa, and with two small chihuahuas running around, I wanted a little extra protection from wet paws. A quick spray of Scotchgard gives me peace of mind without changing the texture or look of the upholstery.This product is easy to apply and doesn’t leave behind a residue or odor. The protection lasts about a year, so I have a re-treatment schedule on my calendar. Whether it’s for outdoor gear or indoor fabrics, it’s become a go-to for keeping things dry and protected. I’ll absolutely repurchase annually before the rainy season starts.

I sprayed this Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield on my favorite couch like I was giving it a force field against all the spills, crumbs, and random dog drool that *inevitably* find their way onto it. And let me tell you—it *delivered*.The application? Simple. Just spray and go—no magic wand required. It dries quickly, leaving no weird residue or smell. But the real magic happens when that coffee stain *almost* happens, and you realize you’re protected like a superhero with an invisible shield.This stuff is practically *superhuman*. It doesn’t make your fabric feel stiff, and it gives you peace of mind knowing the next accidental spill won’t turn into a permanent memory. If you’ve got kids, pets, or a penchant for spilling stuff you can’t pronounce, this is your new best friend.Just don’t go spraying it on your clothes—you’ll end up with a superpower you didn’t ask for.

The media could not be loaded. I am very happy with this water protector. I just got new seats for my kitchen island which are linen and a light color and I want to protect them as much as possible. I was a bit nervous after reading some reviews that they couches were stained afterwards, specially since the product itself says that it may deepen the color on some fabrics. I decided to do it outdoors to be safe and avoid any harsh chemicals and ordors in my house, surprisingly it doesn’t smell as strong as I thought it wood. I did 3 very light coats to avoid soaking my seats and causing stain and I waited a few minutes in between coats, again to avoid soaking the seats. I was not sure if those super light coats would work but they really did!! I did the water test as you can see in the video and it really repelled the water! I went back and added more to the crevices between the back and the seat because I didn’t get that part at firts and I could feel that wet from the water test. I’m not sure how this product will help with preventing stains on my beige seats but knowing they are waterproof now gives me enough peace of mind that liquids won’t penetrate the fabric. I will be using this on everything upholster now!

STINKS to high heaven! But easy to air out for 2 days.I deep dove in to the search for "best fabric protector" and did not arrive at any one brand being 100% "the best". Being a 3M fan, I went with Scotch Guard.LIght colored fabrics and me do NOT get along. I wear mostly black. I was going to replace my heavily soiled and stained Cashmere (very light tan) LEXUS floor mats with black ones, but decided to stay with Cashmere, but with FOUR coats of Scotch Guard.I bought two cans. One can was enough for four coats of SG on a complete new set of Cashmere Genuine Lexus floor mats for my "new" used 2007 Lexus ES350. Apparently, silicone is not the primary ingredient. But the variety of petroleum products in it are just awful smelling. Count on airing the mats OUTSIDE for two days before using them in an enclosed space. After two days 99% of the odor is gone.BUY this product despite the very fleeting temporary odor. Just something to be aware of. It goes away 100%.Value? If it works, well yeah. Effectiveness? How in the heck would I know? I just applied it. But 3M has more labs and scientists and experience than any other company selling similar products. So....there is that. Right?The car is too nice to have black mats that don't match anything. I don' live around mud or filth, so rubber all weather mats are ugly and not needed. My Lexus Cashmere mats even came with brand new Toyota clips to keep them in place.If the weather turns nasty for any kind of storm, I keep the old driver's side mat to throw down temporarily over my Scotch Guarded new one.IDK how to clean then without removing the Scotch Guard. That's why I bought TWO cans. I have a sealed can in reserve. I think one can clean light soil, several times without having to refresh the Scotch Guard. Still learning about the after care.The brand new mats look AMAZING and make the car look fabulous inside. They might as well be white, the tan is so light, therefore VERY prone to showing soiling. I DONT think they are going to STAIN with four coats of SG on each mat.I expect to re-do (clean, strip, and re-apply the Scotch Guard) the driver's side mat periodically as it gets heavily soiled.The other three mats should last at least a year or more without having to re apply the SG.
