If he had it well covered it may be ok, however any suite in use for three months will most likely need to be cleaned first. You will have to inspect it carefully and point out any degree of soiling to him and get him to agree to any cleaning which you may deem necessary

Hi Stuart

Always advisable after this sort of time to clean it first, any surface contaminants could stop the stain protection from making the correct contact with the material and therefore it may not be as effective as it should be,

Best regards Nick

My thoughts are that it must have something on it, for him to NOW decide it needs protection ::)

Stu

If you are applying a chemical to clean then you will need to rinse prior to any application of a protector
