Ive had an inquiry about fabric protection tonight for a three piece suite, whats the best product and how much would you charge?

[Mike Osbourne]

Hi Andrew

I charge half the price of the clean. What sort of fabric is it?

I use Craftex protector seems to do the job. I always use an acid rinse if I'm doing protection.

Hope that helps

Haven't looked at the job yet, she has just had it recovered, she wanted it scotchguard protected..Its through a mate of mine who owns a fabric shop and he wants to start pushing fabric protection as he said he could put loads of work my way, so i want to get it right.

[Mike Osbourne]

Loads of info on here, but ultimately I'd say follow the label to the letter.

Apparently some guys just protect stuff and make more moeny than the average CC so if you have an inroad then go for it.

Spk to John Kelly at restoremate. He has a product that can be applied wet or dry. I've used it and it beats SG and Prochems Aqua Seal hands down (works out a bit cheaper too)

I know many on here have used it too so I'm sure there will be others who can back this up

Unfortunately its all gone and I can't get anymore.

[Buster Ingram]

Wrong answer John!!!!!!

What sort of supplier are you Mr Kelly, now thats not helping people solve their problems is it!
Snap to it John and find an alturnative

If you can charge it at the right price then it shouldn't really have a problem which ever one you buy, protector is highly profitable.

This is as cheap as it was 10 years ago.

Back to plan A Sherco,
if your going to use Craftrex protector on wet cleaned fabric spray straight from the bottle if the suite is New! and not wet before you start protecting add 1ltr of warm water to 4 ltrs of protector. mix well then apply the reason for the water is it helps it soak in and when dry does not leave the fabric fealing sticky. Undiluted protector on dry dralon leaves a white film when dry!

Thanks guys for the advice.

Looked at a suite this morning, quoted £75.00 for protector, anyway the lady said another cc quoted £15.00
i explained it could not be done properly for that, anyway after a bit of chatting and explaining i got the job. I also managed to get her to get her carpet cleaned while i was there as it would be cheaper, so i came away with £150.00 worth of work.

Nice one Sherco

I got some scotchgard today from Olympic cleaning and it says carpet protector concentrate on the containers....Does not say anything about using this on upholstery, so can it be used or is this only for carpets?

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

It is ok on both.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Years ago you used to use water beased for carpets and solvent for upholstery but then we started to ask questions water based for everything and yes Scotchgard is good for both obviously do your tests first.
