Sofa Waterproofing
Sofa waterproofing involves applying a specialised solution to the fabric fibres, creating a protective barrier that helps reduce liquid absorption and prevent stains.
In addition to protecting against stains, this treatment helps preserve the upholstery’s original appearance by reducing dirt build-up and making the sofa easier to clean and maintain. This helps extend the lifespan of the fabric and keep the sofa in good condition for longer.

Result
Does sofa protection treatment prevent all stains?
No. The treatment significantly reduces liquid absorption and the risk of permanent stains but does not guarantee complete protection against all substances.
Does the treatment protect against liquids such as coffee, wine or soft drinks?
Yes. The treatment makes it more difficult for these liquids to penetrate the sofa fibers, making them easier to remove when spills are cleaned immediately.
Does the treatment make sofa cleaning easier?
Yes. By reducing the absorption of liquids and dirt, the treatment makes regular sofa cleaning and maintenance easier.
Does the treatment protect against pet urine?
The treatment helps delay absorption but does not completely prevent urine from penetrating the upholstery if it remains on the surface for too long.
Does the treatment remove odors from the sofa?
No. Its purpose is to protect against liquids and stains, not to remove existing odors. Professional cleaning is recommended for odor removal.
What should I do if liquid is spilled on a protected sofa?
Absorb the liquid immediately using paper towels or a clean cloth without rubbing. If necessary, gently wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth to remove residues.
