Professional Fabric Protection

Professional fabric protection applies an invisible barrier to carpet and upholstery fibres that resists liquid, oil, and dry soiling. When a spill occurs, the liquid beads on the surface rather than soaking straight into the fibre — giving you time to blot it away before it sets. It doesn't make carpet or upholstery completely stain-proof, but it significantly slows the rate at which soiling penetrates and makes both routine cleaning and spot treatment more effective.

For most homes, yes — particularly those with children, pets, or light-coloured carpet and upholstery. The clean opens up the fibre and removes the built-up soiling that was providing some incidental protection. Applying a professional-grade protector immediately after cleaning, while the fibre is at its cleanest, gives the best possible adhesion and coverage. It's the most cost-effective time to have it applied.

It depends on the level of foot traffic, how often the carpet is vacuumed, and the type of fibre. In most residential settings, professional fabric protection lasts between 12 and 24 months before reapplication is worth considering. High-traffic areas and commercial spaces will see faster wear. We'll give you an honest guide based on your specific carpet and household when you book.

Yes. Once the protector has fully dried — typically within one to two hours under normal conditions — the treated surface is safe for children and pets. We use professional-grade products and will let you know the recommended re-entry time before we leave.

Yes. Fabric protection is applied to upholstery using the same principle — an invisible barrier that helps resist spills and soiling on sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, and other fabric furniture. It's a practical option for households with young children or pets, and for light-coloured or natural-fibre upholstery that shows soiling quickly. We assess the fabric type before applying to confirm it's suitable.
