Title: Fabric protectors
Post by: Kev R on February 04, 2008, 10:44:44 pm

I have been asked to fabric protect 104 restaurant chairs. They are very new. What fabric protector do you guys recommend?

Any tips for a newbie for application please?

Thanks

What fibre construction are they made from?

Ideally I like Scotchgard from 3M but I've heard good reports about Prochem Fabric Seal which I believe is 'spirit based' and ideal for upholstered fabrics although you'd have to wear a mask and have a well ventilated area.

There are other protectors on the market some good some not so but an idea of the fabric would be a good start.

I believe it to be a flat weave fabric, Cotton and polyester I think.

I used Fabric Seal and used on 200 chairs for a community hall not long ago. very easy application and has anti static qualities which are suited to non domestic environments. I did'nt use a mask but did it in a large high ceiling hall. Make sure you get an upholstery gun for your sprayer as this makes it som much easier.

Thanks for your replies so far guys, has anyone tried the environmentally friendly option from solutions UK? Is it any good for a commercial environment?
