How long do you think this would last when applied to an interior fabric? I just want something to repel dirt/dust and the occasional accidental moisture. I want to apply it to the fabric before I recover the chair, once it's on I think the upholstery...

I use 303 on my outdoor umbrella which is in the Florida sun all day, and it repels water for at least a couple of years. Indoors, it should last much longer than that.

as the weather is cooler I have dried (med. temp) both of mine in the dryer ..... always a few damp spots when it comes out so I drape over a chair for a few hours. Holding up very well. Hope that helps you.

I used this product on spotted silk upholstered chairs that I found in a consignment store but it didn't work. I think the stains were too old. It did not mark or stain the fabric so if your stain is recent I would try it.

This product is not for interiors, if you bought this as a package deal from a dealer they probably used a different scotch guard type product on your interior.When using this product you should not use Wax as it can take off this product. Also it's best to only use touchless car washes, as brushing and wiping can remove small amounts of this product every time.You should have this producted reapplied every year, but i'm told you can go up to 3 years without reapplying.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

My couch was pretty cracked, and it covered those up really nicely. I've had to re-apply, but that was after 2 months, and we're sitting on the couch. All in all, a really great fix!

I believe the care instructions are to "spot clean" only. Therefore, I would suggest just using a damp sponge or cloth with soap to clean those areas that have gotten dirty. And then use a clean white cloth to just soak up the mositure and let air dry. Please let me know if that works as these are the instructions I have been given in terms of caring for my sofa upholstery and it is working for me.

Can't really confirm. I used it on a leather seat in a car and it wore off pretty quickly. But I have to add that the area go quite a bit of use. For the price, it's certainly worth a try. I have a similar area on a leather chair that I haven't yet tried it on. Sorry I'm not much help here.

I use anything soft like cotton rags or old washcloths and squirt the conditioner onto the rag, vice onto the leather. Then, just rub it onto the leather in circular or back and forth motion. It is actually very forgiving to apply and even if the leather looks 'wet' or darker and gets streaky why applying, it all evens out as it is absorbed and dries in. I rub hard to work it into and and really get into the crevices and seams on our furniture and car upholstery. When first applied, it looks like shiny, sticky honey, so don't freak out. It does not dry shiny nor sticky. Depending on the type of leather and the condition and temperatures, give it at least an hour or two to soak in. If you have older leather that has never been conditioned, think of it like skin that gets dried out-- literally and figuratively. It may take 2 or 3 applications to get it rehydrated. Applying it liberally the first time or two on our antique pieces seemed to work best. Also, this only works on REAL leather! Not patent leather, not pleather, not vinyls.

I think it is meant more for interior, but if you have small children or pets, I wouldn't use it inside. It stays wet for about 24 hrs, and lasts around a week in high traffic areas. Outside, the weather would wear it away quickly.

I would be very careful, maybe try it in a hidden spot first. I think it would depend on the fabric on the upholstery. On the carpet use a broom that's designed to remove pet hair, it has rubbery bristles, then I use the carpet rake to get down in the fibers and pull up the hair the broom didn't get, then I vacuum. Depending on the weave this could pull fibers on upholstery and there are many other pet hair devices that would be better to use on furniture.

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

It is definitely not intended to be used on fabric or upholstery. It is for hard, non-porous surfaces.

if you clean it first...even just a damp cloth it will work great. When I did my couch it was a little tacky for a day but I would highly recommend this product.

Yeah, I did on some of my interior trim and it worked great. Just do it in low humidity, use the second buff pad, and give it time to dry before touching it. If interior is all you need though, I used some cheap vinyl polish/protectant and that works really well for me on my interior surfaces as well. This stuff does wonders for my exterior vinyl though. I used it once a year ago and it still looks great after going through car washes and mag chloride.

This is a fabric protector not a cleaner.This product is applied to upholstery before any spills etc. happen.

Hello! I covered a rip on the top of the middle couch cushion on a leather and vinyl couch I have. The tape has been in place for about 2 months, without lifting, cracking, or otherwise breaking down. It really STICKS! The only problem I have, is that the surface texture of the couch is dull/satiny, and the tape is very shiny, which is just my "eye for perfection," flaring up! :) If someone is using it to patch a rip, it is a workhorse. I bought clear, because I did not find any of their tape in the reddish brown color of my couch. In a vehicle, one would consider changes in weather and temperatures. Although, I have used black Gorilla Tape in my barn, to cover sharp edges of a wire partition. It's been in there for about a year, through minus degree weather, and very hot weather, and still holding strong, with very little or no fraying, even though my gelding rubs his body against it regularly, as it is at a level to his shoulders and lower hips.
