Cherry stains wipe off 12 months after initial application – I bought this and applied on a a new couch and beige fabric dining chairs last year as my baby nephew was coming to visit and I did not want the family to stress over smudges or food spills. I tested out with water and it seemed ok. My nephew was so well looked after, didn't get to test it out with anything substantial. My friend's 2yo got stuck… Read more · 1
in some cherries yesterday and had her hands over the back of the dining chairs. I didn't want to make a big deal of it so only went looking for marks after they left and the cherry stains all wiped off with a tissue. The chairs have been very lightly used in the 12 months in between the spray and now as it is in a holiday home but pleased with the product and will spray my new sofa set with this too.
absolute waste of money – absolute waste of money they say theres a money back guarantee but they keep asking more and more questions that I answer and then they come up with more questions Show details
Not working...Waste of money – Not happy customer. I chose this product over 3M products based on the reviews but I regret it now. I bought 2L with the spray and applied about 1.25L on one armchair. It was tested with water drops, a big disappointment !!!!, I see water soaked into the fabric and visible multiple wet watermarks. I can’t imagine if I drop warm coffee on it…hahaha. It's not worth what I spend, and I would not recommend it. Show details

What a relief we used ProtectME!! – I recently used ProtectME to cover our brand new dining chairs, which my wife has waited over 5 years to buy. I was concerned as to how we would keep them safe from our adventurous 2 and 5 year old kids. What on earth could defend our chairs from the attacks of Milo hands, bolognese splats, blueberry squishes and yogurt blobs? I can tell you that… Read more · 1
the answer is ProtectME! After receiving the Big Job pack I went to work applying the solution to every inch of material on all eight dining chairs. The battery powered sprayer worked a charm and distributed the solution evenly and quickly. But I had plenty left over so I then proceeded to cover a double seat snuggle chair & ottoman, another oversized ottoman, two arm chairs and also, what the hey - my ugg boots!! Within a few days, one of our kids inevitably spilled some juice and my wife said that she jumped up to save the chair and she was not only relieved but also amazed to see the juice just beaded off and no stain remained! So from my wife and I, thank you ProtectME, you have saved the day!
I want to cover everything in this – I was recommended by a friend to check out this product based on his experience with covering a new couch to protect it from accidents from their new puppy. What can I say I now want to cover everything I own in this product. I bought it for the main purpose of covering some old ski clothing that I planned to upgrade next season but wanted to get… Read more · 1
one more run out of before I had that huge outlay in cost. Before coating, I had significant damping out issues in my jacket during heavy snow around the elbows and hood. Now I honestly believe that my jacket, in particular, may be better waterproofed than when it was brand new, and I'm even considering not upgrading it next year. For less than a 5th of the cost of one new item of new ski gear, I was able to reprotect mine and my partner's whole ski wardrobe (2 jackets, 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of boots and a spare bib and brace) and it's holding up amazingly. I was also REALLY happy that the product had no nasty odour like a lot of other waterproofing products and its SUPER easy to apply. So I've now used the last of my spray to cover a number of pairs of shoes and one casual jacket to reduce the possibility of stains and to waterproof them. I did one pair of expensive canvas shoes that I bought brand new a few weeks ago and OMG it works amazingly. We had a torrential downpour here 5 nights ago which we got caught in unprepared after we were out to dinner. I was stepping in puddles and running through rain that would normally leave my feet soaked through. When we got home the only part of my socks that were wet was where they were touching my jeans (which in contrast to my shoes were soaked) and a very small area near my laces (which had more to do with the way I'd done up my shoe). Ordinarily, in canvas shoes and weather like that, it would be GAME OVER and I'd also be cleaning the stains out of them for days. But they are dry and clean and still as white as the day I took them out of the box. Side note which is probably an unintended bonus but my friend has also noted that during his dog's winter shed this year he also thinks the spray has helped reduce the amount of hair that stuck to his couch. Thanks team. Keep up the awesome work :)
DIY, Budget-friendly alternative to expensive professional fabric protection – We moved into new house and ordered 4 brand new fabric lounge sets. Being a family with young kids, we were naturally concerned how to protect the new furniture the best way possible. Looking into famous options like Scotch Guard, Guardsman, MicroSeal etc., stumbled upon (little less famous) ProtectMe Textile via google search. Reading upon… Read more · 1
reviews, I shortlisted MicroSeal and ProtectMe Textiles (ignored others because they got some harmful chemicals in them), but then chose ProtectMe over MicroSeal because it offered Do-It-Yourself (DIY), was budget-friendly and PFAS free.
After spraying it on couch/lounges and letting them dry, I spilled water to test if it'd bead up. Was glad to see that it did, and it was very easy to absorb water using a dry cloth. Haven't tested it with other liquids and food samples yet, but confident that it will do a decent job. Also, there was no bad odour except for a minor one, which vanished after 24 hours of drying. So, I would highly recommend this product for fabric protection.
A little disappointment in terms of estimated cost: I thought a 5 litre container would be good enough for all four lounges because it is advertised on their website that 100ml spray is required to cover a square meter of fabric. I found it incorrect. I had to order another 5 Litre container to cover off all the furniture. So, that costed me double the money than expected.
Second disappointment is with the pump provided with 5 Litre solution. When the 4 battery cells are brand new, it sprays evenly and consistently, but after a very short time (4-5 min), the battery starts to die impacting the spray quality. I even used Energizer high quality batteries but the results were same, so perhaps design-wise, the pump could be improved so that it does not drain the whole power of batteries in short amount of time.

Don't try to waterproof canvas awnings with this product – I made canvas awnings for my campervan and was told by the sales team at Protect Me their product would indeed work as a waterproofer. I tried 2 coatings(well covered with product via sprayer) and the rain easily penetrated the fabric. I had some of the product left and decided to focus all my efforts on the most essential and smaller back top… Read more
awning. I did 2 more coats but it was still useless as an awning water proofer, the water came straight through. It was expensive(I bought 5L) and it ended up being a complete waste of time. I can see it would be great for repelling spills from fabric furniture. However it could never stand up to consistent applications of liquid, such as ongoing rain. It was a massive fail for me and my awnings became wet, stained and then began to grow mould spots over night(i was in northern nsw at the very start of wet season 2021 when this occurred).

This stuff works – I used Protect Me on a new light grey fabric sofa in January 2020. Eight months later I accidentally left a coffee cup on the sofa. The next morning it was tipped over and coffee residue had spilt leaving a pretty big stain and I must admit it had soaked into the fabric instead of sitting on top, perhaps due to the length of time it was left like… Read more
that. I used a damp rag and a little detergent and to my surprise the stain came right out with little effort. I’m extremely pleased I chose Protect Me.
waterproof – Used to waterproof some printed mouse mats and the results are positive. Repels those pesky tea spills and seams to keep finger marks at bay.This can be used for multiple purpose in the house.
Great service – Ordering was easy and delivery timely. On using it on one of my cushions in our camper I discovered they had already been waterproofed so am going to try it on my car seats. I am sure it will do the job.
This is exactly what I was looking for – So many solvent fabric protectors on the market and in the past have been highly toxic and not very user friendly. ProtectMe was bought specifically to apply to my new fabric dining chairs which are a light beige colour. I used the electric spray attachment and it was easy to put an even coating on all eight chairs which only took less than 15… Read more
minutes.
Within a day after applying a second coat to the seats the silicone based protection was dry and worked like a treat.
I tested one chair with a water spray bottle and it beaded just like it was supposed to.
I highly recommend ProtectMe to anyone.
You will not be disappointed.
Cheers to the ProtectMe Team.

Fabulous product – I recently purchased with the spray nozzle to use on my new suede fabric lounge and could not be happier with the result. It was so quick and simple to apply, no harmful fumes or odours that would upset the kids or dogs, and testing after one coat, water beaded and ran off. It also did not affect the colour or feel of my lounge, you wouldn't know it was there. I regret not buying the larger size! Thank you.
I can highly recommend – I bought “protect me” after randomly searching through internet. I was initially a little sceptical but decided to try my luck and bought 2litres with the spray gun. I applied them only few months later and took another few months to put it to test. Still early days but few chocolate stains were very easily removed just by a wet rag from a… Read more
fluffy dining chair material. I think it works really well and I have my confidence on this product.
If I pick on anything it would be on the spray gun. I think it could be better than the current one which is a little rough on spray and cannot do a nice misty spray. Item arrived quickly and packed nicely with all instructions.

Great customer service – I have not used fabric protection prior so decided to do some research. Contacted a few suppliers and found that the Technical support offered by Protect me was second to none, the support Tech returned my call and was very informative in answering my inquiry. The product was simple to apply, as directed. Would definitely recommend
So far so good – I purchased ProtectMe for some new rugs for my home. Application was easy and when I tested it with water it didn’t penetrate the surface layer as promised! Seems great so far!
Yep....one application & it works!! – Applied the product late one night as per the directions on my 6 seater corner recliner lounge, with the battery operated spray nozzle, which made it sooo easy & the next morning it was dry. (< than 12 hours later...I had the ceiling fan running all night) No nasty smells & when I tested it the next day with a little water. the water beaded & just… Read more
ran off the arm of the chair! Brilliant!!
Will be very keen to see how long it lasts as the lounge is used everyday but hoping it lasts a long time.
Will spray other items with whats left over from my 2L bottle.
Works as described – Repels liquids extremely well. Time will tell as to its lasting effects. No reduction in the short period since first applying. At the moment I would definitely recommend Protect Me products.
It works!!! – It really works as advertised... I am really impressed!... the only issue was the spray usage Rate.. It recommends 100cc per sqm fabric but probably it requires more than that! In my case and I have to buy another bottle now...!!
Amazing product – Love this product. It took me a while to work out how much to use (I brought the 750 ml bottles). I purchased a new lounge and after looking at all of the reviews I decided on ProtectMe. Easy to use, was delivered quickly. I did the water test and presto, it beaded straight away. Next I will spray my shoes and whatever else I can find. So far, so good.
Great product – I run my own cleaning business for the past 3 years. This year I decided to offer protective service for glass, vehicles and fabrics. As I was searching for a reliable fabric protector I was recommended to try protect me. It’s the only one I trialed. Long story short I tried it once and won’t try any others. The product does what it says and myself and my customers are very happy.
Commerical Application – Easy to apply with auto spray unit, drys quickly and didn’t affect colours of fabric. Arrived promptly with everything required including batteries for the spray unit which was very handy. Show reply
Easy to use and effective – Protect Me is easy to apply although it can be a little hard to work out the coverage. The product has no obvious/strong smell which is a real plus and although it hasn't been tested in anger yet water did bead on my couch fabric so I'm confident it will work when the time comes!

Perfect safeguard – Never used any fabric products before and this is the first time and so far I would recommend the product .we used it on our fabric couch running shoes and will have a go with my motorcycle boots Show reply
Great Product, Easy application, and even better Service – The team at Protect Me have really created an outstanding product, I was looking for something that didn't hold all the chemicals, that actually works. The drying time is great, and it is easy to use (I also purchased the spray gun) I had a few questions and the team responded very quickly. Have recommended to several friends Show reply

This product is amazing! – This product is very easy to use, it has provided excellent protection from damage. I feel safe when people come over and drink whilst sitting on the couch! We used 2 coats and it works excellently. No issues so far Show reply
Very Impressed – ProtectMe was easy to apply, and importantly, has no odor. We don't like to use any chemicals in our house or garden and appreciate the credentials of this product. It's only been a week but our sofa looks as good as new. I only wish we'd found it sooner! Show reply
Great product – I have just finished reupholstering my dining chairs and found this product so quick and very easy to apply by spraying. I feel my new chairs are protected now. There was also no odour. Show reply
Unbelievable ..it's a magic – I loved this product .. works wonders .. planning to incorporate in my car detailing business for interior protection. Simply amazing . Only concern is how long it would last . Regards Show reply
No toxic smell and it works! – I used one bottle on 2 new Ikea wingback chairs. I was so delighted to be able to use this safely and not get asthma as it doesn't have toxic fumes or any odour at all. I did test it by spraying water on it the next day and the water beaded and was easy to dab off. Having had previous bad asthmatic reactions to conventional water repellants this was a wonderful find! I recommend this product 100%. Show reply
Great product and fast delivery – The product worked exactly as described and as we expected. I would definitely buy again. The only drawback is how expensive the postage is but understand it's still heavy even though it's small. Fantastic product and would highly recommend! Thank you! Show reply
Great service and quality – I found these products easy to use and very effective, will use again. I also found staff to be very agreeable to talk to on the phone, a lovely company to deal with. Show reply
Perfect product – Only started using the product after purchased a new couch. It takes a while to dry thorougly, and I have noticed water/ spilled does not stick to the surface.
